Hi there

Hi Pete, thank you for the welcome.
I was wondering if there are any specific strategies for identifying and researching more about a target market / ideal customer? -
Hi David: There is a detailed section on market research which is part of the Simple Writing System. They offer it as a home study, which is less expensive than the coaching. I took the coaching a few years ago and can tell you that it is definitely worth the money.
You can also go through the Simple Writing System Express course, which is…Read more

Isak posted an update 6 years, 7 months ago · updated 6 years, 7 months ago
I’m going through the Simple Writing System home study course, looking to switch careers to freelance copywriting.
One thing that boggles me, is if it’s possible to safeguard against errors before the copy is put to the test?
I’m sure I will make tons of errors – that’s only normal when learning something – but when I learned to cook, I could…Read more-
Hi Isak: I don’t think there is any way to do that unless you wanted to drive traffic to it yourself and see what results you get before submitting it to the client. After you get some experience you will get a better feel for what works and what doesn’t, but there really is no to tell until it is actually tested live.
There are many variables…Read more

Actually, if you are cooking something and you don’t like it, that doesn’t mean it isn’t a good dish. It just means that you don’t like it. You may like something else and find that the rest of the world hates it.
-
Yep, Pete has the memory correct. This is where having a broad network of pals, colleagues and clients can help: When you find people who are reliable in giving an opinion (most are not), you use that as a resource.
It’s not always in the way they think, either. Gary and I had a copywriting colleague who was amazing at identifying a great ad we’d…Read more

Thank you all for the sage advice. Makes me a lot more confident going forward, knowing the rebels have my back =)

Hi Virginia! I’m working with two companies right now. 1 – Aceable, which is a company that helps people complete certifications / licensing using an app. For example getting your drivers license and now getting your real estate license! 2 – I’m starting a company that’s beard care products, but is marketed towards the partners of bearded men.
