Dear Friend,
If you’d like to build a copywriting business that has more income stability…
Where you don’t have to ever worry where your next check is coming from…
Where you can wake up on the first of the month excited as all hell because you know you have four or five-figures of guaranteed revenue coming your way before you even get out of bed—or even when you take off on vacation and don’t lift a finger…
And where you can go into any client negotiation and leave with a deal that’s going to get you paid for months on end…
Then this might be the most important message you ever read.
Here’s why:
Not long ago, a few stubborn copywriters butted heads—in public—and let’s just say there was some serious ruffling of the feathers…
Yes, that was us (Kim and Chris). We initially thought we were on polar opposite ends of the spectrum when it came to our views on how to build a successful and highly profitable freelance business.
It all turned out to be a big misunderstanding. And now it’s turned into what could be a huge turning point for YOU—and your freelance copywriting or consulting career.
In case you missed it, here’s a quick background review…
CHRIS HERE… It all started when a prominent A-Lister (yes, I’m talking about Kim), saw my blog article entitled “The New Model for Freelance Copywriting Success in 2018 (And Beyond)”.
Kim proceeded to rip me to shreds in her weekly e-letter—taking umbrage with a few of my points, while actually agreeing with my later.
So I wrote another blog post entitled “An Open Letter To An A-List Copywriter (From The Guy You Lambasted In Your Last Email)” to point out the discrepancies in her argument—and her surprising error in mistaking my blog post for a promotion.
Kim didn’t see my response until somebody (none other than Ben Settle) forwarded it to her—saying “I think you done pissed him off…”
KIM HERE… Now I thought, here Chris was acting all butt-hurt. Did I massively screw up?
Oops, I kind of did actually. In my haste to get my weekly e-letter Copy Insiders out, I took what was a blog post, and read it as though it was a promotion for a course about retainer arrangements. (Chris offers a free mini-course on retainers, but doesn’t sell one.)
Nevertheless, what Chris had written STILL raised the hairs on the back of my grizzled, 20-plus-year copywriting veteran neck.
I still felt what he’d put out there was, at best, misinformation. While I agreed with some of what he had said, I felt strongly (and still do) that…
Now, that’s a pretty strong emotional response from two supposedly mature, professional adults. It appeared to be the beginning of a full-on, copywriter super fight!
And part of what really raised Kim’s hackles was this little excerpt from Chris’ original blog post:
Kim strongly disputed this point in her Copy Insiders e-letter. Here’s what she wrote:
“Having just returned from a 3-week vacation in Italy, where I spent my days sightseeing, drinking Aperol spritzes, and not doing a lick of work–and coming home to find more than $15,000 in royalty checks stuffed into my mailbox–I can tell you the ‘good old days’ are still here. The internet has changed nothing (some of those royalties were from online sales pages–at least one of them was written more than 2 years ago…)”
But there are other ways you can ramp up your income stream fast
Chris threw it back out at Kim with this retort, pointing out the error of her ways: “You spent most of your ‘critique’ actually proving my point. The point of this article is that if you’re going to find success as a copywriter nowadays, you need an opportunity to apprentice, get your reps in, have consistent work and consistent income.”
“Retainer deals give you the opportunity to tick all those boxes. When you’re starting from scratch in this journey, you’re not going to start earning royalties right out of the gate. You need clients and experience and confidence and connections before you can make the move to the big leagues… if that’s the path you want to take.”
The bottom line? We decided to take what could have been a very public, ongoing feud and instead act like grown-ass adults and TALK about things—and settle the issue amicably.
Chris was the first to suggest we hop on a call so we could bury the hatchet and discuss our differences. Kim agreed and sent over the Zoom link pronto. And well—let’s just say we found more we agreed on then disagreed about.
For the entire duration of that 75-minute call, we shared our war stories and explained some of the moves we’ve each made in our careers to get to the top in our respective niches.
Chris has managed to find a lot of success in his career because he’s mastered the art of landing retainers.
Kim has managed to find a lot of success in her career because she’s mastered the art of negotiating royalty deals.
At the end of our call, we both agreed that if any copywriter was listening in, they would have walked away with priceless instructions for how they can land royalty, retainer and recurring revenue deals.
But, sadly… this call wasn’t recorded!
Dammit!
Well, we decided to should do something to reconcile this slip-up.
And it made sense to just not keep this knowledge we have between ourselves… and instead share it with a select group of copywriters who want to finally STOP dealing with crappy clients who never have enough money… and instead START landing favorable deals where you’re not only valued for your work… but where you’re also rewarded financially for it, too.
Introducing…
The 3 R’s: Royalties, Retainers & Recurring Revenue is a 3-part virtual training program. It’s the ultimate freelance business-building intensive… and it’s unlike anything you’ve seen before.
This virtual training program is designed to show you just how easy it can be to land royalty, retainer, and recurring revenue deals in your freelance copywriting business.
The entire program was recorded LIVE on interactive group calls with detailed slides. Every word was captured on transcripts for easy reference. And a fourth Q&A call was thrown in at the last minute.
Throughout these no-holds-barred calls, Kim and Chris walked a small group of copywriters step-by-step through the system they use to land these kinds of deals… leaving no stone unturned. No filters, no secrets withheld–just the down-and-dirty details no one tells you (and that you usually have to learn from the “school of hard knocks”!)
Kim and Chris not only did a deep dive into the topics of landing royalty, retainer and recurring revenue deals… they also answered all of the attendees’ troubleshooting questions in real time. It’s all recorded for you on video – and you can see how these strategies were implemented in real life negotiations.
This isn’t one of those “just follow the instruction manual” type trainings… this program gives you the strategies–along with the tools– you need to overcome any obstacle standing in your way of landing bigger and better copywriting deals.
Here’s a quick overview of what’s covered in this program:
This is where you start building the foundation for your copywriting business—and open the door for other forms of ongoing or passive income.
It starts with finding the right clients… turning them into REPEAT clients… and building a steady stream of cold, hard cash that comes in month after month like clockwork!
In this module, you’ll discover…
This is where the rubber meets the road. No more waking up in bed sweating over how you’re going to pay the bills. No more desperate trolling for clients online or at networking events. No more hanging onto your day job while you grind away at night on low-paying freelance gigs.
Get a few of these lucrative retainer arrangements under your belt and you can rest easy, regain your dignity, and say “Buh-bye” to that pain-in-the-neck boss!
In this module, you'll discover…
This is the “holy grail” of freelance copywriting and consulting. It’s entirely possible to have fat 4- and 5-figure checks stuff your mailbox (or hit your bank account directly) while you’re lolling on the beach or hanging out in tapas bars in Barcelona… or simply cutting your hours in half so you can make it to your kids’ soccer games and school performances.
It’s like the old 80s’ tune by Dire Straits, “Money for Nothing”…except it’s for something. In some cases, something you wrote several months if not YEARS ago! (Yes—for real: Kim’s had several controls that have paid her steady royalty income for as long as 10 years!) We’re going to spill all the secrets on how to negotiate and score the best royalty deals—and which ones to AVOID.
In this module, you'll discover…
One of the bonuses we gave during the live version of this micro-coaching program was a 3-hour speed coaching session. The copywriters in this program each got an opportunity to “hotseat” their copywriting businesses, discuss their deals, and troubleshoot any issues or obstacles standing in their way. You’ll learn a TON on this call: it’s three hours of real world application of all of these concepts… and it’s a masterclass in deal-making.
Hiring Kim and Chris for one hour would be well over $1,500–making this 3-hour session a $4,500 value just on its own. You get to peek inside BOTH of their brains where they share their best-kept secrets and strategies for negotiating and landing better copy deals.
An Incredible Value That Will Pay For Itself Ten, Even 100 Times Over!
If you were to hire Kim for private coaching, you would pay a MINIMUM of $36,000 a year to become one of her students–if she decided to let you in.
And guess what… it’d be worth every single penny!
(She is, after all, one of the most accomplished, living direct response copywriters alive today… and her students make incredible breakthroughs with her help… both in terms of writing skill and the income explosions she helps them achieve.)
Meanwhile, Chris charges writers almost $6,000 for a six-month coaching stint (and that’s a bargain for the kind of instantly actionable know-how he routinely dishes out).
After all, half of the writers he coaches have been scooped up by big financial publishers that are practically household names in our space (and they’re already earning royalty checks on the controls they’ve both written and beaten). The other half are habitually booked out and he can’t even refer clients to them anymore because they’ve started wait lists.
SO the bottom line is, if you were to convince the both of us to coach you for just one-month (which neither of us ever do), it would easily cost you upwards of $4,000.
But we realize that not everyone is able to afford that kind of investment.
And we didn’t want anything to stand in your way of you learning how you can start landing more royalty, retainer and recurring revenue deals than ever before.
That’s why when we started kicking around the idea for this “micro-coaching” program, we thought $1,000 would be a fair price.
After all, one retainer gig could pay you at least 5 or 10 times that amount. And one royalty deal could pay you multiples of that every single month for the next five years (or even longer).
So in our eyes… a mere $1,000 seemed more than reasonable.
But, we realize that’s still going to be a big barrier to entry for some newer writers who are just starting out… who don’t have a lot of clients… and who might even still be stuck in a day job (like Chris was for four whole years, as he built his copywriting skills and portfolio). That’s why…
We Decided To Do Something Truly Crazy
After that fateful Zoom call (also known as “the beer summit without beer” as it was early in the morning), which led to the series of live calls an exclusive group of copywriters were able to take part in…Chris messaged Kim and said, listen…
“If our goal is to help a LOT of writers, I think we’re going to need to make this new virtual coaching program super affordable. If we keep it at $1,000… only a small handful of people are going to be able to afford it.
Why don’t we offer it for like $397… and we can always raise the price in the future if we ever decide to do it again. We can double or triple it and it’d still be super valuable.”
Kim agreed.
So for a very limited time, you can join this incredible coaching program for the super low investment of just …
Do the math…that comes out to just $132.33 for each 60 to 90-minute call (not even counting the bonus 3-hour-long Q&A call). That’s a fraction of our combined hourly rate of more than $1,000!
But that’s not ALL you get in this exciting new 3 R’s: Royalties, Retainers, and Recurring Revenue Complete Virtual Program.
Take a look at everything that’s included:
This is the first time we’re making this complete virtual program available–and including this exclusive, one-of-a-kind tool kit! You’ll want to grab your copy now while we’re still offering this program at this incredible price.
These strategies and tools could easily earn you back 10 times, even 100 times your investment. So you’ll want to take action now. We reserve the right to raise the price in the future.
Take a look at what people who did the live program with us have to say about The 3 R’s: Royalties, Retainers & Recurring Revenue program…
No more “imposter syndrome” feeling!
“When you usually buy a course to learn something, you get one head teaching the content. This was very different. The combination of both Chris and Kim who work in different ways gave me a full picture of how to come up with the right contracts for my copy business. That ‘imposter syndrome’ feeling has been squelched. There's something in here for everyone. I can guarantee that.”
—Gary Hones, Green Kite Media
Will save me costly mistakes!
“I took Kim and Chris's ‘3R’s’ class on its maiden voyage, and I would recommend this to anyone who is either a beginner or intermediate copywriter. If you are an advanced writer who hasn't dealt much with royalties or retainers, you will also get a lot of practical information you can use right away. This was a short class that packed a lot of punch. Kim and Chris wasted no time getting right to the information that can make or lose a writer money. The material covered on royalties and retainers is not found in any other class I've seen. They took a deep dive into both subjects, and I'm sure that particularly where royalties are concerned, having this information will save me making costly mistakes in negotiations.
This isn't just theory, this is information you can use immediately. The other outstanding thing about this course is the ‘two heads are better than one’ proposition. Kim and Chris both have deep experience as writers, and different viewpoints. They don't agree on everything, and that gave me different factors to consider and multiple ideas and solutions for handling client scenarios. If you're a writing solopreneur, running your business right is critical to earning at the level you deserve—and this class will arm you to do just that.”
—Steffi Baker, Copywriter
Can make or break your freelancing career!
"I LOVED this course! It gives you the real nitty-gritty on how to increase your freelance copywriting income. I was literally shocked by one of the ways to get a retainer…never even thought of it! I also discovered two essential things you need to discuss with your clients that can make a huge difference in how much money you'll earn from royalties. We're talking thousands and even hundreds of thousands of dollars you may be leaving on the table—plus proven ways to keep your clients coming back for more… and more. This is KILLER info that can make or break your freelancing career!"
—Tara Waechter, Copywriter

Kim Krause Schwalm & Chris Orzechowski (AKA “BFFs”)
P.S. Things did get a bit HEATED on these calls. After all, we’re both passionate about the directions our copywriting careers have gone—and want to help others follow the paths we’ve taken. And yes, we’re both stubborn and opinionated and think we’re usually right.
The upside is, you’re going to learn A LOT… and hear new strategies and takeaways you may not hear otherwise. Because we’re going to kick up some dirt and air out the truth. We’ve got a combined 25+ years of in the trenches, copywriting “war stories” and plenty of wisdom to share. We didn’t hold back an inch! You DON’T want to miss out and regret it later
