    I truly appreciate the wisdom in this video. I had not thought much about a "mentor", I have just been busy seeking knowledge as it pertains to my goal, and finding the people who can guide me to obtaining that knowledge. On that path, I discovered you (thanks to someone else along the same path) and it has certainly propelled me to new insights. My list of people to follow and books to read grows daily. I take in as much as possible in the time I can. I look forward to the day where I can look back and say "I can attribute my success in part to...". Thank You.

    Hello Alex! During the last two or so weeks, I guess you have been my mentor. I began earlier this week to update my social according to your tutorials. Today, unfortunately, I lost my job (working as German Language Teacher) and even though I'm not necessarily into copywriting as a career (or maybe, ... why not?), you've been giving me a lot of inspiration and I'm very grateful for that. I hope you're safe and healthy, thanks again and I wish you a wonderful week!

    Thank you so much, Alex this really helps me. I've been toying with the idea of a mentor for a while. I wrote copy for a client for several months but in March, like everything else, the work dried up and my client disappeared before settling accounts. Getting screwed really opened my eyes. And with eyes wide open I found your videos. You have taught me that I went about most things the wrong way. I've now read a number of books you have suggested, they have helped a lot. Influence by Robert B. Cialdini is packed with great insight. SO thanks for all your generous help, suggestions and advice. Would you consider making a video regarding contracts and payment and that whole awkward part of this business, please? If you have put one out already, can you direct me to it and I apologise if I missed it.

    Thanks for creating this! I've been listening to podcasts on entrepreneurship and it seems like entrepreneurs invest the most money into mentorship to scale their businesses and improve their mindset. I'm going to look for local events/virtual conventions in my niche (travel copywriting). I watched your other video on how to meet clients, and this video just reinforces the need to network and get my name out there.

    Is it harder to start without a mentor? Or at least...can you start without a mentor?
    What I mean is
    If you have a bit of experience (sufficient experience and knowledge to start on your own), because you read a lot of book or you watched some videos...(for example amazing content like this), and then try to write copy for free maybe on Linkedin or everywhere else...
    And you always gain more and more experience...even so do you need a mentor?
    Or is possible to start your copywriting career?

I see this concept in various places throughout history and throughout the world, whether you look at martial arts students in ancient China serving their heroes in order to become their master and teach them, or even in the bible where Jesus as the master washed the feet of his desciples to show the importance of serving others first.

I felt it's rude to ignore their message, what is your thought on such cases? i.e: "Hi Alex, my ad won't run, how do I fix it?" xD

    Even i am trying to find one,but still hasn't found one,the ones i talked with charge crazy high money.I am just 16 and starting to find it difficult to cope up.And the people who get to know that i am 16 are like 'who the hell would take work from a kid?' Can you help me on or just make a video on so i can make my track record and start to get clients..😊
