How I suffered from copywriting
I’m was an idiot when is started copywriting
I didn’t knew a sht about the fk
I started after I failed to crack my desired colleges exam and decided to be a drop out.
Which made me even more stressed out.
I started to search how to be successful without a college degree
There I stumbled upon COPYWRITING
and I was intrigued
I watched lots of YouTube video
I followed those so called copywriting (fake)millionaires
Who actually did nothing but promoted their own courses or some kind of paid stuff.
And tried everything, but one thing
From Binging copywriting content to reading lots of books
Like:
The boron letters
Take their money
Adweeks copywriting handbook
Breakthrough copywriting
You can say I was I copywriting nerd for a while
I learned as much as I could
I read great copies
I rewrote them on copies
Not only once or twice
But Lots of time
And yk what
Nothing changed
I was same as shit when I wrote copies
I didn’t meant anything even after learning all that, I wasted my time.
And then consequence of it
I started feeling like a failure
Started thinking I’ll never become a good copywriter
And unfortunately
I STOPPED COPYWRITING
Thinking it’s not my cup of tea!
I thought I did everything to be a good copywriter,
From watching lots of video
To reading lots Of books.
But the only thing,
The only thing
The only most important thing
Which separated as MASTER from a BEGINNER,
Which I didn’t did,
DOING PRACTICE
ACTUALLY WRITING COPIES
when I started I was told that you have to learn a lot about it to write good copies
And so I did
And I wasted all my time
I actually started to forget things that I learned:
through those videos (even tho they didn’t taught me anything),
though those books reading those books,
Through those articles i read about copywriting
Because of only one thing
NOT PUTTING IN THE REPS
My dreams were shattered, the imposter syndrome ate me, anxiety hitted hard
And I failed as a copywriter
I GAVE UP.
But now I’m again into copywriting after 3 months starting from 0
And only thing I wished I did earlier was to
WRITE MORE COPIES
So please, if you’re reading this
Just write copies
That’s the only most important thing to you keep going and start seeing results
Read good copies and copy lots of good copies.
Write them with your hands more than twice
take an imaginary project
Start start working if it.
Start writing copy as if you were actually writing for a million dollars business
This will make you manifest your dream
More than actually just doing something to get better
It’s not “YOU VS YOU”
it’s “MILLIONS OF OTHER WHO WANT YOU TO FAIL VS YOU”
If you compete with them, you’re already surpassing yourself everyday.
Think about it
I’m not saying everyone wants to see you fail, but most.
So
THE KEY TAKEAWAY
- WRITE MORE COPIES
- TAKE AN IMAGINARY PROJECT
- THINK HOW COULD YOU MAKE MILLIONS WITH YOUR COPY
- DO THE PLANNING
- GET YOUR FOOT INSIDE THEIR AUDIENCE SHOE
- UNDERSTAND THEM MORE THEN THEY KNOW THEMSELVES
- WRITE LOTS AND LOTS AND LOTS OF COPES
- IF YOU FEEL STUCK, THATS THE MOMENT YOU SURPASS YOUR LIMITS, LET YOUR CREATIVITY TAKE CONTROL OF YOURSELF
- DON’T FEEL BAD IF YOU THINK YOUR COPY IS NOT GOOD ENOUGH
- WRITE WRITE WRITE WRITE
- DON’T WRITE ONE COPY A DAY, WRITE AS MUCH AS YOU CAN
- STICK TO IT FOR MONTHS, BE CONSISTENT WITH IT
- AND THEN GET MORE INFORMATION, LEARN MORE, TAKE GOOD COURSES
- PLEASE DON’T LOOK FOR AN EASY WAY OUT
- THEN AND ONLY THEN IF YOUR FEEL CONFIDENT ABOUT YOURSELF, START LOOKING FOR CLIENTS.
Do these
And you’ll be a great copywriter
Maybe, even better than me.
And if you need any further help,
Shoot a dm to me.
I’m always happy to help any fellow who want to make it in their life.
And let’s grow together
