Hi David,

Exactly – there’s far less of a “transfer of skills” than people would like to believe! 🙂

To be honest, the prime reason I created our training is that I couldn’t find any others I felt comfortable recommending to people who wanted to build or grow their copywriting careers. (See a need, fill it!)

Here’s a quick rundown of what sets us apart:

No B.S. promises: There are some well-known trainings out there that promise “six figures in your first year” or that you’ll immediately be working from the beach. It sounds too good to be true, and it absolutely is. You can earn six figures as a copywriter, but it’s certainly not going to happen in your first year. People see things like that, become disillusioned, and give up on what could have been a great career for them.

Real world, real career training: We don’t just teach people to write “online sales letters” (which are dying, anyway)—we provide them with all of the tools to write all kinds of copy and land work or jobs with clients, internal agencies, and/or ad agencies.

You get everything you need, all at once: Some training programs offer you cheap courses, but once you get them, you discover you have to buy six more (and much more expensive!) courses to actually know enough to get work.

You can do it on your schedule, not someone else’s: Our Academy is all online and self-paced, so you can learn when it’s convenient for you.

You get personal help: Students get access to me throughout the month via email and then live on our monthly, student-only coaching calls. People *should* have questions as they learn; it’s a lot to master. I’m here to help them.

You get the benefit of my 15 years of experience—and the benefit of remembering where I started: If I could go back in time to when I was starting out, this is truly the program I would give myself to accelerate my career. I’m not in the least exaggerating when I say I created the program I would have wanted, and I based it much of it on the training I put the copywriters who worked for me through.

Phew! Long answer, but I hope it helped. 🙂

Thanks for commenting!
Nicki

Great article and the process you put down is fool-proof. I like that you mention the fact that just because you have experience or mastery in X doesn’t mean you know how to do Y or Z.

I come across that situation with potential clients every-so-often, they find it difficult to discern good copy from average writing and some think that because they are great at one task, they’ll be great at something else that they are merely familiar.

I’d never tell my family that’d I’d perform neurosurgery on them because I’ve seen Grey’s Anatomy.

One question, are there other resources than your own that you could point to for training? What separates your training from theirs?

Always enjoy your articles, looking forward to more!
