Another quick question, if I may… If I’ve already got Kick-Ass Copywriting Secrets, do I need to get the SWS, as well? Thanks!

Hello everyone!
I have here, a blog post that im testing to new audiences on social media platforms.
Target market: Men, 30 – 40, pain points are low self-esteem and burnout. And would like an option to find a better way without breaking the bank. I will add an optin box for a free 30-day email series that consists of simple, positive…Read more

That looks good to me. The key is to get a compelling image and a responsive audience for your ad. Also, when you put in the opt in box, make sure you have benefits there.

Thank you, Virginia! I missed the notification and forgot to reply! Thank you for the feedback, and will post a sales letter in the next couple of days that I would love to get some feedback on!

Hi all,
I’ve finished watching the video in Step 1 (Market Research) of the SWS Home Study Course, and the section talks about the importance of market research, but it’s a little vague on what tools to use for market research (such as Google AdWords) and how to use those tools.
My question is: are there additional resources that cover the…Read more

Hi Tuananh: The video about the Keyword Planner is out of date so I pulled it a few days ago and will be revising it.
I’m not really sure how to answer your question. I don’t think that this is something that will be easy to find online. Your best bet may be to find some prospects and speak with them.
Don’t get hung up on this step. The…Read more

Hi Tuananh,
The easiest way to get started with Marketing Research is to first pretend you are looking for the product and services you provide and type in what you think a likely buyer would type into Google, Yahoo, Bing, etc.
Do any of the pages that appear provide a similar product or service? If yes, follow-up with them. Get on their list.…Read more

Hello all,
I did more market research for step 1 of the SWS Home Study Course for finding English (language not country) copywriters based in Vietnam
My Results:
i. Is the market large enough?
a. There were many job sites that posted listings for a full-time copywriter position w/ salary; not really what I’m looking for, but there’s def…Read more -
Hi Tuananh:
I think you have done plenty and can move on. You say that there are a lot of offers on upwork, which is where most of these copywriters are probably trying to get work.
One thing you could still do (as Stan mentioned) is to go to some businesses that would be in your target market and speak with them about what their needs would…Read more

I agree with Virginia. Move on to Lesson #2.
You’re going to use the SWS steps for the rest of your life. Think of the first time as a learning experience. Your first pass is not going to be the master work of your life.
The cost of you putting up a one-page website the describes your services and has an email opt-in for folks who want to…Read more

John Carlton’s Best Ads: What Women Secretly Wish You Knew About Sex

The Freelance Course

SWS is different from KACS. SWS is a step-by-step course in writing your own ads.
Virginia, just to be clear: that’s a “no,” then?
That’s a “yes”. They are different trainings.
And just so you know, I purchased both of them (SWS live coaching and KACS), as well as the Freelance Course. They all handle the subject a bit differently
Thank you for clarifying that for me!
Hi Sean: You can get John and Stan to review your website by requesting a hot seat. Just click on the link under Hot Seats and Consulting. You do have a lot of info on your site and they would give you their input as to how they think it should be laid out. Or answer any other questions you may have.
Thanks again for that!
