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.
