I ghostwrite Substack newsletters for IT founders building their first product, helping them simplify complex tech and build trust with their audience.

Yesterday I tweeted about practicing in public and showing what you know.

Well, today I am putting my money where my mouth is.

I wrote a financial email copy breakdown on LinkedIn and am sharing it with you all.

Most of us are one catastrophic diagnosis from bankruptcy. Something has to change.

@AndrewWriteCopy Not specific enough to attract your target audience

@AndrewWriteCopy Their loss

@AndrewWriteCopy First get to know you a little before they cold contact you Show you provide value

If you're feeling overwhelmed and feel like time is running out on what you want to accomplish, take a step back and focus on one thing at a time

Marketing to Gen X is hard for marketers cause we can smell BS from a mile away

[Thomas Davis @tjd2309]

Gen Xers aren't going to fall for the hype of a product. We want the truth about it. Maybe that's why marketers avoid us. Afraid we'll see right through your hype machine

Why do companies have a subscribe to our email button on their website when they don't have any emails set up

[Thomas Davis @tjd2309]

Aspiring copywriters, you don't need another course you need to practice what you learned.

Practice, get copy reviewed, edit

Rinse and repeat

[Thomas Davis @tjd2309]

@HeyJeffFelten Cause they don't have a relationship with their target audience and don't know what to say

[Thomas Davis @tjd2309]

@AndrewWriteCopy Their customers

[Thomas Davis @tjd2309]

@AndrewWriteCopy Makes it feel like anyone can go the same route

[Thomas Davis @tjd2309]

@AndrewWriteCopy Convince them this is the solution they've been waiting for and no other products can solve their problems

[Thomas Davis @tjd2309]

You think pitching your copywriting service is easier in person but it's not.

Folks seem very interested in what you offer and even ask you to email them but then they ghost you when you reach out.

Shake off the disappointment and don't take it personally.

I am in a copywriting group with newbie copywriters like me.

A monthly email contest is held to show what we learned.

A newbie asked about putting the cred on his site.

I responded "Worry about winning the contest first."

Nothing like a good smack talk to get juices flowing.
