Hi! I’m Joel.

Page 2: GCA Career Day

20 years ago, my job didn’t exist.

Page 3: GCA Career Day

I can wear this to work…

Page 4: GCA Career Day

Or this, if I really wanted to.

Page 5: GCA Career Day

This is my office…

Page 6: GCA Career Day

But I can work

from almost

anywhere in

the world!

Page 7: GCA Career Day

Because this stuff is all I need to do my job…

Page 8: GCA Career Day

…and this guy is my boss.

Page 9: GCA Career Day

“What on earth do you do?”

Page 10: GCA Career Day

Conversion Copywriting!

Page 11: GCA Career Day

“Huh?”

Page 12: GCA Career Day

I help businesses get more people to do what they want, using words.

Page 14: GCA Career Day

Let’s say 100 people visit your website…

…and read your offer…

…but only one of them buys from you.

Page 15: GCA Career Day

I make it so that out of 100 people who visit…

…and read your offer…

…THREE of them buy! (or more)

Is this what I want?

Am I making a smart decision?

Page 20: GCA Career Day

“How’d you wind up doing this?”

Page 21: GCA Career Day

Finish High School

Go to University Get a job

Work there until you retire

(or die)

Page 22: GCA Career Day

Realize this could be a

career

Finish High School Choose a

business degree out of

fear

Try a bunch of courses to see what you like

Switch your major

Add an extra year of University

Go work in Toronto doing sales, hate it

Come home and get a job at an agency doing a job you’ve

never heard of

Dream of working at a big firm

Start writing on the side, love it

Turn down a job offer at a huge

firm Start your own copywriting

company

Learn a totally new way of writing that scares you

Decide to start your OWN agency…

????

Working for yourself is

awesome, but…

• Don’t dismiss your passion.• Connect with everyone you can.• Remember that nothing is permanent.• Don’t let life happen, MAKE life happen.• Say yes!

So, my advice…
