Since I released my fee structure in March 2009, much have happened which requires me to revise the rates and structure after using the same rates since January 2008.
Among others, the following are the reason behind the restructure:
- Basic NLP Certification from the National Federation of Neurolinguistic Psychology (Programming), USA;
- More exposure in print ads, radio and TV commercials;
- The cost of maintaining an office in Amcorp Tower where clients can now meet and reach us more easily;
- Offerings of new services and removal of dormant services.
If you have been dealing with my copywriting practice before this restructure, you will not see an increase until December 2009. Starting January 2010, existing and future clients will be charged at the new rate.

Aldric Tinker’s Red Velvet Rope Policy
As much as I’d love to accept any and every business out there, I do not. What are the clients that I’m looking for? Here are the characteristics:-
- Integrity;
- Serious (who understands the value of my time as much as theirs);
- Bright (full of light & easily excitable);
- Resilient (keep coming back);
- Courageous (facing their fears);
- Think big (you project, product, service or brand will benefit large groups of people);
- Value-oriented (you gain value from relationships with me and others);
- Naturally collaborative (you contribute to and focus on your solutions);
- Rapid responders (talk today, done tomorrow);
- Positive (naturally optimistic).
Do you have these in you? If you do, then drop me an email or give me a ring!
When you have these characteristics, you will get the following benefits:-
- You’ll have clean energy to do your best work;
- You’ll feel invigorated and inspired;
- You’ll connect with me and your clients on a deeper level;
- You’ll feel successful and confident;
- You’ll know that your work matters and it’ll change lives;
- The magic of you will spring to life!
Though you may feel that this is still general, you will find the answer at the end of the day: whether I accept or reject your project.
Why is this policy necessary? One rotten apple is going to spoil the whole bunch. A negative and uncooperative client will result in delays for the rest of my clientele. I’m sure you’ve worked with difficult people: do you notice how bitter you can be when you deal with the person immediately after him or her? Your life energy gets sucked out into his or her void. When it happens, you know that your day just went down the drain.
Furthermore, NLP is one powerful technique if you want strong reaction. The last group of people I’d want to serve are those who are not interested in helping others with the products or services which they offer. This way, you know that I’m not helping scams, illegal, immoral or unethical activities.
At the end of the day, it trickles down to this: I’m only interested in serious clients just as much as you’re interested in copy that sells. This is an investment to you, your product, your service and you’ll gain more than you have to pay.
