A 7 step blueprint...

HOW TO MAKE GOOD MONEY AS A COPYWRITER.

A lot of people in my DM asking me this same question. So strap yourself in & get ready to land.

1. See The Opportunity.

Wherever people are exchanging money for goods & services, certain information needs to...
passed across in the best possible way.

Businesses need to explain what the product/service is, how it solves a customer problem, how it works, why it’s better than others out there, how much it costs, & how to order it.

There 3 types of commercial models.
a) Business-to-business (B2B). Construction, shipping, safety, software

b) Business-to-customer (B2C). Health, retail, education, restaurant

c) B2B & B2C. Pharmaceuticals, gym equipment, supplements

All these businesses need marketing to sell. And it takes copywriting to sell
Copywriting is persuasive business writing for the purpose of advertising or other forms of marketing.

One skill = more than 70 different projects.

SEO, brand, web page copy, script, email, flap copy, social media, billboards, direct mail, blogs, white paper, online ads, etc
2. Identify Your Financial Goal
