I’m trying not to be a skeptic. I’m keeping an open mind that this will be different from the other business ventures i’ve tried, that I guess was not for me, But I have always wanted to make a living writing, but I guess I felt I wasn’t talented enough to do it. but I’m diving in the copy writing career hoping I will do well in it.

In reply to Aisha. Sometimes we have to keep our dreams and goals close to our heart. Not everyone will be our cheerleader for a multitude of reasons that are not your fault. I'm 52 and decided I wanted a change and copywriters resonated with me. The Facebook forum will become your cheering squad. You can do this!! I believe in you!

Yes, I was/am a skeptic. I had watched the testimonials repeatedly before I finally took the plunge on this course. I had previously tried several work-from-home online opportunities. All of them seemed to have some sort of negative connection and a lot of them seemed to involve things that went against the grain for me, like cold calling or selling things I didn’t really believe in. Many time they also came with comments about pyramid schemes, scams, money grab…
In the end, I am a firm believer that if you want something to change you have to do something. The same old thing will only bring the same old result.

Glad to have you here, Danny! And you’re absolutely right: plenty of people skip over fantastic opportunities because they don’t know enough or are too fearful to commit to the work–it’s not easy learning new skills as an adult! But those who put in the work to learn something new only open doors. Thanks for reading! 🙂

I’ve heard some general comments about possible successful careers like “Why isn’t everyone doing it then?” or “It must require an expensive education or you won’t make much”. Well, I think taking a chance on something that others might not and putting in hard work are good ways to find success. That’s why I’m here!

In reply to Margaret Dodge. Yes, surround yourself with positive people! The great thing about the system we teach in the Comprehensive Copywriting Academy, after we teach copywriters to write copy, build their experience, and then build their portfolios, it involves copywriters reaching out to companies—not the other way around. That way, the copywriters are in control of the opportunities coming in, not waiting for companies to reach out to them. It puts the copywriter in control of how much work they want to accept, and in turn, how much they want to earn.

I met someone (who is actually a writer/editor) and we were talking about being writers. When she said, “Well, when you decide to be a writer, you take a vow of poverty,” I knew she was someone I didn’t want to know. Not just for spreading that limiting belief, but for using a cliche to express it.

Hi Ki,

Well, as someone who is in *copywriting*, I can assure you that our students are doing it every day. 🙂 This might help shed a little light onto the process: https://filthyrichwriter.com/how-do-you-land-your-first-copywriting-clients-without-experience-or-samples/
