Here’s an AI summary of everything John talked about in the video
Get your first local business client
You’re getting a live 4-session workshop on Zoom where we’ll work together to transform you from a copywriter without an offer into someone with their first agency client—serving them in just a few hours per month while leaving plenty of calendar space to stack more clients.
Three workshop outcomes
Get local business clients
Write and launch ad campaigns that get local business customers
Retain clients by building long-term relationships
Perfect for copywriters who want to…
Stack additional skills onto their existing expertise
Serve local service businesses that an evergreen market with huge demand
Avoid the “blood red sharks in the water” competitive marketplace of hardcore direct response
Now is the Best time to pivot (or else)
The copywriting industry has been turned upside down over the past year and it’s only going to get more difficult to find work.
AI has made job boards brutal
Top copywriters who use AI can scoop up more work
Online business niches, the “coaches, consultants, and course creators”, are oversaturated
But local business are unbothered.
Don’t know or care about A-list copywriters
Just want more leads at an affordable price
Can easily say yes to $1,000/month management + $3,000 ad spend (Any business generating $150,000+ annually can afford this without hesitation)
AI-proof, evergreen demand, pays well
Local businesses are a global opportunity.
High-opportunity markets: UK, USA, Canada, Australia, UAE
More challenging markets: Global South countries have rich people too
The demand is universal; all you have to do is adapt your approach to the market.
Earn in dollars, naira or rupees.
$500 – $5,000 per client per month (depending on services)
Sweet spot: $750 – $1,500 per client per month
Most of the course creator’s clients are in the UK and US but this system works in any country
From Construction worker to ad man
I’m John Caprani—copywriter, marketer, and advertiser with six years in online marketing. I was a woodworker, then construction project manager, eventually running construction service businesses and managing luxury resort home fit-outs.
This gives me a natural advantage: I speak their language. Local business owners often don’t trust marketing people, but they trust someone who understands their world.
And while the money is great, for me, this work isn’t about adding zeros to bank accounts. I love helping real businesses grow and employ more people in their communities. It’s a lot more satisfying than helping some high ticket coach buy another supercar.
Simple campaigns get 6-figure results
To give you an idea of the kind of results you can get for local businesses, here’s what I did for a UK HVAC Company.
Spent: £3,000
Generated: £20,000+ in new business
Intangible ROI: Owner now recognized as local celebrity (huge)
And here’s what I did for a barn building company in Colorado, USA.
Spent: $5,000-6,000
Generated: 120+ leads, $800,000 in closed business (35 days)
Average ticket: $40,000
I run the same ad format with every client. Simple 1-2 minute videos recorded selfie-style or with a tripod.
7 days from now you could sign your first local business client

Straightforward offers clients instantly understand
Ethical advertising you can feel good about

This assumes you’ll only offer your clients ONE service. In reality, you’ll want to upsell additional services and your workload will increase accordingly
