NO WINNER AGAIN (Weekly Engagement Competition): @Shafaq Kazmi got close but it wasn't enough to beat @Waisale Naqiolevu who's a previous engagement competition winner. Pro tip: “You Can Have Everything In Life You Want, If You Will Just Help Enough Other People Get What They Want.” – Zig Ziglar *** THE TRUTH ABOUT FREE SAUCE Look closely at the screenshot I've attached. This is what happens when you give away courses for free. I could click on any random free member of Copywriting Launchpad and this is what their course completion page will look like. The same thing happened when I had a free plan in my other community platform. We got over 1300+ signups and only 9% completed the material. And I knew this was going to happen, even after we moved to Skool. I know you are going to sign up because it's free and then do nothing with the resources I give you. I used to care. I don't anymore. Whoever wants to succeed at copywriting will succeed, even if the only resource he or she has access to is YouTube. Whoever wants to LARP as a copywriter will keep doing that, no matter how many resources he or she's given, free or paid. *** IF YOU WANT TO BE AN EXPERT AT SELLING TO WOMEN Watch this video (tap the link) then follow the instructions I've given you.

I manually review and approve all requests to join Copywriting Launchpad. If your Skool account: - Is brand new - Is in no other Skool communities - Has no activity history - Doesn't use your real name - Doesn't have a real profile photo of you - Doesn't have completed bio - Doesn't link to any social media - Looks like you're using a VPN You can't blame me for thinking you are a scammer / spammer. And you will most likely be rejected when you request to join the community. How to fix this if you are a brand new account. - Use your real name - Use a real photo of you in your profile picture - Write a descriptive bio - Link to social media accounts that prove you're real person If you are currently a member in Copywriting Launchpad and have an incomplete profile (as described above) you need to fix it ASAP.

Every week the #1 member on the 7-day leaderboard will be upgraded to a Premium membership. If they are already a *paying* Premium member, they will be upgraded to a VIP membership. Only one member will be upgraded per week. This week's winner is @Nishat Fatima who gets upgraded to our Premium tier. Since this is a new “feature” we've added to the community, I'm also going to upgrade @Waisale Naqiolevu to VIP because he was #1 the last few weeks. What Nishat gets with her Premium membership: - Everything in our Standard tier - Call-free coaching in the community (business questions, copy feedback) - Instant access to all courses, workshops, and call recordings - New course, guest lecture or workshop every month What Wes gets with his VIP membership (because he was already paying for Premium): - Everything in Premium - Highest priority for answers to questions in discussion forum - WhatsApp access to Nabeel for coaching and copy feedback - One 1:1 coaching call per month - Complimentary tickets to any in-person events @Matthew Volkwyn and I host How to Win the Weekly Leaderboard Competition It's simple. Just show up and engage in the community. The easiest way is to “learn in public.” Go through the courses in the classroom and share how you are implementing what you learn. For example, if you're doing Copy Translation which @Alicia Joseph teaches in Copywriter Starter Kit, post your marked up copy with your notes. If you are hand-copying ads from our Legendary Ads Vault, post the photos of your work and write up what copywriting principles you learned from the ad. How NOT to Win the Weekly Leaderboard Competition Low-quality posts, engagement farming, and stupid questions. I actively delete posts like this.

WEEKLY ENGAGEMENT COMPETITION: No winner again! @Benjamin Villette was dethroned but @Waisale Naqiolevu is a past winner and @Sahil Guddeti, even though he's within one point, is a legacy Copyskills member who I already upgraded to Premium when he moved over. Now if Sahil was a paying Premium member, I would have upgraded him to VIP. @Ayanda Mathe is far away in third place. JULY'S NEW HYBRID COURSE: I looked at all the votes from last week. We are going to do all three courses even though Creative Girl Summer won. Because it's a virtual summit with several guests it's a lot more work so I'm going to do it last. I've decided to do “Make Her Buy” first because I've already lined up the guest expert. So, with that in mind, what questions do you have about selling to women? Your answers will help us create the curriculum. WHALE BAIT OFFERS: If you're on the Copyskills email list you've been getting emails about our high-ticket client acquisition course, Whale Bait Offers. This is not a live workshop, though @David Stafford may teach another cohort live for us in the future. But as with the rest of our courses and coaching, all you have to do is upgrade to Premium. One subscription gives you access to everything. https://www.skool.com/copywriting-launchpad/plans

WEEKLY ENGAGEMENT COMPETITION No one was able to beat @Benjamin Villette this week so there's no engagement competition winner. @Saba Malik came pretty close though. PRO TIP: “You Can Have Everything In Life You Want, If You Will Just Help Enough Other People Get What They Want.” – Zig Ziglar *** EVERYONE IS HIRING COPYWRITERS ON X @Sahil Guddeti recently got his first client on X for $3,500/month. Feel free to interrogate him about how he did it. Or bug him to write a case study for us. Meta's advertising algorithm changes combined with improvements in AI images & video have created MASSIVE demand for copywriters. They need people to babysit the AI. Business owners and CMOs are too busy to do it. - Go to X .com - Search “hiring a copywriter”, “hiring a creative strategist”, “hiring a direct response copywriter” - Sort by “Latest” - Apply to every position I will be shocked if you don't get at least one client. It helps if you are active on Twitter and you have an optimized profile. We have a full course on this called “Twitter Growth Playbook” for Premium members. Upgrade to Premium here: https://www.skool.com/copywriting-launchpad/plans *** WHAT COURSE SHOULD WE TEACH NEXT? I was wondering what course to teach next for our live cohort. I can't decide between... - How to sell to women - AI copywriting - Creative strategy Help me decide. Vote below. If I see LOTS of votes we might do all 3 courses in the coming months. Bionic Copywriter is already available in our classroom for Premium members. Make Her Buy and Creative Girl Summer, I'll have to bring in guests to teach. *** AMA WITH @Matthew Volkwyn A celebrity copywriter who has made over $1 million dollars for himself is doing an AMA in our community. We have 5,300 members. There are only 10 questions under his post. Shameful. If you're wondering why experts charge lots of money instead of helping people for free this is why. No one appreciates something they get for free.
