Hello all! I am new to copywriting. I don’t know the first thing about it, but I want to learn. Would love to know where to start. I want to write copy that sells so that I can make a minimum $100K/ year. Would love your input Mr. John Carlton if that is possible. Thank you.

Hey, everyone — David Deutsch here.
I hear this is becoming the place to be so I’ll be dropping by regularly to see what’s up.
I’m always interested to hear what is your biggest challenge to the success you seek as a copywriter or marketer.
And can someone tell me how to get to the place where I can put a bio and edit my photo, LOL.

I would add that getting into copywriting to “make $100,000 a year” is the wrong motivation. This is a difficult gig… despite the learning process being very simple once it’s laid out in steps (as we do in the Simple Writing System). The “hard” part is in applying what…Read more
