I just noticed an interview I did for Edgar Boutaric in April of 2008. There were some signs of the financial crisis playing out at the time, although nothing like we saw in October/November.
The last question Edgar asked me was what I thought the effect the bad economy would have on Internet Marketing and copywriting. Reading my response today, I couldn’t agree more…

“You might see beginning copywriters drop out. You might see the average copywriter lower their prices. And you might see the top copywriters raise them.“
From what I’ve seen, that seems to be the case. You can check out the full interview here:
