How to Get Started in Copywriting

As I mentioned yesterday…

I officially started my freelance copywriting journey in Jan 2019.

Lots of people want to know my “copywriting origin story…”

So I’ll give you a little bit in this email.

I first learned what copywriting is from a Jason Capital YouTube ad in Summer 2018.

I was at the beach with my family that July writing my first emails…

I registered my business, Damn Good Emails LLC in September…

Here’s my first logo:

I will give you a credit towards one of my upcoming products if you know who this is in the logo (hit reply with your best guess).

Then in January 2019, I quit my full-time accounting job to pursue my first clients.

I remember it was an exciting and sometimes confusing time…

I was definitely “figuring things out.”

I had mentors who showed me so many things, such as:

  • How to run my first FB ads…

  • Create lead magnets…

  • Formulas for social media content…

  • How to set up a promo calendar…

  • Swipes for funnels, emails, promos and sales letters…

  • Sales scripts, word for word, that helped me close clients…

  • Cold email methods that got me clients…

  • How to start and build my email list…

  • How to make and sell my own content…

  • Strategic partnerships and joint ventures…

And so much more.

Some of this stuff I actually passed along in my “Cheat Codes” last year…

I’m not promoting that right now and I don’t think you can find an active working checkout page for it…

But at some point if enough folks want it, I may revisit that.

The reason why I recommend you do this…

…is because everything is organized and codified for you…

These are proven systems that are essentially “done for you…”

You just have to plug and play.

The alternative is that you google everything and spend the time and effort to piece it together yourself…

As appealing as it sounds to just say “I’ll figure it out myself…”

There are practically infinite articles, videos, and documents for you to look through.

It’s like walking into the world’s biggest library with unlimited floors full of books and resources.

That’s why I recommend certain mentors… because I’m already a few years into this…

I know what you need to learn and whom you can learn it from.

So check out my friend Nicki Krawczyk, she’s the founder of Filthy Rich Writer.

This is for you if you’re new to copywriting… not sure where to start…

You know you can do it but perhaps all the information out there is overwhelming or intimidating.

Maybe you’ve got some experience but you just don’t have the “client getting thing” down yet…

Your client work hasn’t been consistent and you’re at a loss on how to get more clients.

Including case studies of folks who learned from Nicki and replaced their income quickly.

Here are just a handful of the hundreds of Filthy Rich Writer testimonials:

So if you’re serious about a copywriting business…

Where you get to work from wherever you want, with whomever you want… and whenever you want…

With unlimited potential (you can make 6 figures, and I know 7 figure copywriters too)…

And I wanna hear from you in the next few months on how you took this info and replaced your income (or increased it).
