Copy Writing
Copy Writing
Fast forward to today, I’ve made over $6k and I’m making around $2.5k/mo with copywriting
currently.
“Where do I start?”
“Which books do I need to read?
“How do I practice? Do I write emails or sales pages?”
These are just some of the questions I get from beginner copywriters in my inbox daily.
So, to answer your doubts once and for all and to give you a solid roadmap to get good at
copywriting,
I’ve taken the tools, resources & information I used to land my 1st client and put it into a simple
3-phase system that you can use to get so confident in your copywriting skills that you start
landing paid clients in the next 30 days or less.
Introducing…
Copy Trifecta
(The 3-phase system anyone can use to get good at copywriting in the next 30 days or less)
Phase 1: Foundations
Action items:
Take notes:
- Get a separate notebook or use Google Docs.
- When reading these books/watching videos, note the key points, Eg, “NESB” from Take
Their Money, Customer Awareness levels from Great Leads, F.R.E.D from Copywriting
Secrets.
Even if you just master the principles from these 3 books, you’ll be set to make your first $1k
with copywriting.
Depending on how much time you have & your experience level, this will take 5-10 days.
Phase 2: Observe
Now that you understand the rules of the games, it’s time to observe how the pros play.
In Phase 2, your goal is to become a pattern-recognition machine. Study good pieces of copy
and see how the top creators/ coaches/ influencers use the principles & techniques you studied
in Phase 1 in their copy.
Action Items:
- Study 15 sales letters from this website: Swipe-Worthy » Swipe File Archive » Marketing
& Copywriting Examples (swiped.co)
- Sign up to email lists/newsletters of top creators & coaches (Iman Gadzhi, Dakota
Robertson, Zarak) and study their emails.
By study, I mean..
Bonus:
- Build your own swipe file (folder to store best copy you find to use later for inspiration)
- Handwrite all the sales pages & sales letters from the action items.
- Break down this video & observe what copywriting principles he used:
Best Online Business To Start As A BEGINNER (2024) (youtube.com)
This can take 10-15 days depending on how much time you have.
Phase 3: Play
You know the rules, you’ve seen the pros play. Now its your turn to play.
Take what you’ve learned from Phase 1 & 2 and start writing.
Open a profile & click on the + icon to find more similar profiles.
Just by scrolling for 5-10 mins, you’ll find at least 3 accounts selling courses/coaching.
Write 3-5 pieces of copy every day, repeat for the next 10-15 days.
Congratulations, now you have the skills to make your first $1k with copywriting.
Bonus Phase: Re-spawn
Just like in a video game, you don’t beat the final boss in your first attempt.
You die, you respawn and get better with every attempt.
Similarly, in the game of copywriting, the more you play the better you get.
And if you’ve completed all action steps upto this point, chances are you’ve already landed your
1st client.
But in case you haven’t (or are looking for your next client),
RE-SPAWN
Read other copywriting books, study other sales pages, explore other niches.
The more you do this, the better and faster you get at copy & outreach.
And before you know, the compound effect kicks in and you start landing multiple clients.
