Hi everyone! This is Alejandro here. At the start of this year I decided to learn copywriting and had the blessing to learn from the best. (Special thanks to John Carlton here.) I have a marketing job where I manage a newsletter and create sales pages every now and then. I have lots of fun, but I want to start my own freelance career on the side…Read more

Hi Alejandro: I would pick up John’s Freelance Course. It’s not expensive and will show you a path to start your career. It is sold as a package with Kickass Copywriting Secrets, so if you order, make sure to click on the link that says Freelance Course Only (there is a discount), since you already have the other course.

Hello, I’ve been trying to build an online affiliate marketing business but I have found that I really suck at writing emails and my blog posts just don’t instill much of a response.
Because of this, I have spent quite a bit of time and money trying to understand why my content doesn’t get people excited or compel them to act.
So, in a…Read more

Hi David: One thing I’d like to suggest is that you check out the (free) Pint of Beer Ad Challenge. Just go here to opt in: https://simplewritingsystem.com/sws-pobc-summer-2021/.
It shows you a simple way to create a good ad. It is a good place to get started.
I see you have Kick-Ass Copywriting Secrets. That will give you some great ideas, as well.

Hi Sue:
What makes you think that it is the copy of the ad that needs help? To answer your question, the ad looks OK to me. I am not in your target market, but I think that if I was, this would tempt me to click through.

Another audience is moms who follows some business/self-help gurus. I noticed that the ad is promising get over stress and worries, but the landing page is about…Read more

Probably the most important thing is the followup. Most people will not buy right away, so be sure to keep contacting them with more info, and keep asking them to buy.

This is a webinar funnel, so there should be some applications right off the webinar. Right now we have so few results to make any conclusions, only 12 webinar registrations so far.
For my own webinar funnel, most (almost all at this point, after 160 webinar registrations) people come from the webinar not email follow up… (My email skills need…Read more
