    Could use some help, reassurance or a kick in the A$$

    I’ve been working with a local YMCA to help increase attendance in their before and after school care program (Kids Express).

    I’m attempting to write a letter for them. Being fairly new to copywriting and especially sales letters, I’m a little insecure about it.

    When I show my wife the…Read more

      Hi Aaron: Unless your wife is a copywriter, I would not give it to her for advice.

      I suggest you get John and Stan to review your letter. In order to do that you need to request a hot seat (link in the right-hand column). Thanks.

    Hey fellow Marketing Rebels,

    My name is Ralston. I’m a long-time lurker here but first-time poster.

    I’ve got a website that I’m finishing up and getting ready to hit the launch button on… and I’m looking to get a second opinion (or two) on my copy.

    I would be willing to trade critiques if anyone helps me out (or however I could return…Read more

      Hi James: You can post a link to it here and we will look at it. I would suggest you clean it up and submit it for a hot seat so Stan and John can give you feedback. By “clean it up” I mean format it and create a pdf that they can look at. We have one scheduled for July but you can get it done in August if you want. I think that would be the…Read more

      If it isn’t on your site yet you can upload a PDF. If you don’t know how, there is a link to the instructions in the “Member’s Guide” (another link in the right column, but closer to the top).

    I’m a graphic designer and rapper who loves writing. I want to improve my sales writing abilities so that I can sell courses of my own that I plan to develop, as well as sell more of my music and graphic design services.

    Can you ask questions regarding copy writing on this forum?

    I’ve been writing copy for several years now and have gotten complacent with the few clients that I have. What suggestions do you have for attracting new clients? I know that as a “copywriter” I should have no problems… and yet I haven’t been looking for a while. Any suggestions as to what is working for others to build their business?

    Thank…Read more
