However, I’m doubting whether I am good enough to go after clients…

I’m frigh…Read more

Hi Joshua: You can get personal help from a pro copywriter if you sign up for the Simple Writing System coaching program. First, though, go through the Express Course, which is free. This will give you an intro to the course. There is a link in the right column.
In any case, you can get your questions answered by posting them here.

Hi everyone, I’m new here. I have been writing copy for around 10 years and write for some of the biggest business/marketing coaches in Australia (that’s where I am).
I look forward to learning more from this community.

Hi Mick: There are a lot of business owners who take the Simple Writing System to learn copy. Some want to be able to write their own copy, some want to be able to write quick pieces from time to time without having to hire a copywriter and some just want to be able to tell good copy from bad copy so they can get the best work from a copywriter…Read more

Thanks Virginia. So maybe there is a niche I can target to build my coaching business.

Hi Mick: Yes, targeting is key. People will be much more willing to hire a “specialist” than someone who works with many types of businesses.

I’m quite successful in my business, OEM jewelry manufacturing. I’m dealing with many jewelry brands like Cartier, Tiffany and such. I don’t have any problem closing deals…Read more

I have a question around self-esteem.
A lot of copywriters, myself included, don\’t charge their worth.
I\’d be curious to hear what books, posts, or training you guys would recommend.
Thanks,

Everyone monetary worth for the work they do is what someone will pay you to do it.

John Carlton’s Best Ads: The Most Important Letter You’ll Ever Read
Finally, here is a great example of a completely "blind" letter. Nowhere in the entire four pages of copy is there a hint of what, exactly, you will find in the product. It's all tease. Like the little strumpet at the local watering hole giving you a big come-on......

Hi Joshua!
You’re good enough whenever you feel you’re good enough. Everyone is constantly learning and improving but if you don’t take the leap some time you’ll never get anywhere.
Go hunting, the market will tell you whether your skills are at the level they need to be to compete in your area.
As for charging, if you’re unsure just go with…Read more
