Workshop Recordings are here now with detailed notes: https://www.skool.com/copywriting-launchpad/classroom/f983299b?md=a19fdf8b4590464b9b03eadf95942ace Most beginner copywriters spend thousands on courses, learn features and benefits, and still have no idea how to approach a real client project. This is half of Day 1 from the Copywriting Fundamentals Workshop, A live 5-day training taught by @Matthew Volkwyn and I. In this session, Matthew breaks down the only 3 types of copy you need to understand to write anything: 1️⃣ Idea Copy — How to grab the attention of the right person (not just any person). The hook is not about being clever. It is about being relevant, beneficial, and curious-making to the specific buyer. 2️⃣ Conversion Copy — How to shift a prospect's perspective so they are ready to buy before you ever pitch them. Most copywriters skip this entirely and go straight to the offer. That is why their copy does not convert. 3️⃣ Sales Copy — How to reduce risk, handle skepticism, and prompt action. This is the part AI produces easily — which means it is the least valuable skill to develop first. Matthew also walks through a live email teardown, demonstrates the Bruce Lee principle applied to copywriting, and shows you exactly what happens when you remove conversion copy from a pitch. Days 2–4 go deep into each of the three fundamental types of copy with more examples. Day 5 is a practical session where Matthew gives you a way to drill these fundamentals until they become muscle memory. Copywriting is not a shortcut. It is a learnable skill that rewards repetition, feedback, and honest practice. Copywriting Launchpad is where you do that work alongside other people on the same path.

Hi everyone, I've recently started applying for Creative Strategist and Direct Response Copywriting roles on X and Upwork. One thing I've noticed is that many companies want proof of winning paid ads, revenue generated, ROAS, and real client results. As someone trying to land my first international client, this feels like the biggest hurdle. I do have a portfolio with case studies from local clients and sample Facebook ads I've written for health supplement and other brands, but I'm wondering what actually helps bridge this gap. For those who've already landed their first international client, what made the difference? How did you position yourself when you didn't yet have big DTC success stories to show? I'd really appreciate your advice. Thanks!

Today's lesson completely changed how I look at copywriting. It cleared many misconceptions I had and helped me understand that great copywriting is much more than writing emails or any single type of copy. One of my biggest takeaways is that every type of copy has a different role in helping a business grow. Ads bring traffic, landing pages guide visitors toward one action, sales pages convert buyers, VSLs turn viewers into customers, website copy builds trust, and video scripts help businesses grow and monetize their audience. Each piece works together as part of the same growth system. I also realized that limiting myself to one type of copy would limit the value I can bring to clients. The more I understand and learn different types of copy, the better I can help businesses at different stages of their marketing and sales journey, making me a more valuable and reliable partner. My goal now is to build a strong foundation across all the major types of copy so I can help businesses solve a wider range of problems instead of just delivering one type of service. That's the kind of copywriter I'm working to become.
