I’m trying to determine my own USP as a marketing consultant and copywriter. I’m too close to the matter to really get some perspective. What would be some good places to start to make what I offer super unique?

Purpose of all this is to get out of Vendor Land (or never go there, period). Some thoughts: I started and run my own non-copywriting/marketing business (shipping industry).

Hope you’re having a good weekend! I’ve written content on a part-time basis for years but have always been intimidated by the thought of writing ads and letters. I work for an accounting department for a university, and reconciling accounts is a step-by-step process with lots of moving parts to keep an eye on. It hit me that perhaps…Read more-

Basically I’m asking if the FACT that this course can teach you “how to do something”
