My life changed today
If someone told me I'd be doing this a year ago, I wouldn't believe it but today?
When I saw that payment notification?
I realised the power of the journey that lies ahead of me
"Can't thank you enough for this!"
These were my clients exact words
Words from a language training business I worked with recently
I worked with them to:
• Identify their unique process
• Revamp the copy on their website
• Retain their voice and personality in the copy
They're happy.
They love the work.
I enjoyed the experience.
This is just the beginning of my career as a copywriter but I have gone about it a little differently than the advice I see here
I didn't engage with 100 accounts a day
I didn't send cold DMs like the brocolli bros
Money wasn't my focus (I didn't want another trap)
My main goal was to ensure that I work with people I like, projects that interest me and no b.s. from the client
It's a relatively slow path
It's not a 10k/month in 30 days scheme
It's about building the life I want doing the things I want
In the midst of it all I'm grateful for the different people I learn from
It began with @GrammarHippy and his community
(I had no clue about copywriting until then)
I was inspired by the way @AndrewWriteCopy approached copy - a proper student of the craft
and most importantly...
I realised it was possible thanks to people like @ItsKieranDrew
I learned a little bit from everyone and there are too many people to name but this is going to be a fun ride :)
To those who support me and continue to be there
I appreciate you (And you know who you are)
Not every book needs to be intellectual, non-fiction, complicated and difficult to read
This book is a delightful,pleasant read that you can get through in a few hours
