3.24 never do something for free guys. cheap clients will give you a headache. just be overprepared before your first client. do enough practice, study successful copywriters, study psychology, emotions, copywriting, selling, marketing, SEO, storytelling, speaking, their business and target audience. always underpromise, overdeliver. your first client should be the gateway to more clients. The truth is, all businesses are hard, but if you do your absolute best you will succeed
Knowing everything related to copywriting is not enough, what is the use of good knowledge when you can not take the right actions, I believe the right actions come through slight knowledge with high experience.
Hi im TJ and im a beginner copywriter and yha through my journey im at that point where by my parent's think im crazy that I'm able to make money online not so long ago i wanted to drop out of school cause i found my pathway to success not only for my self but for my family also so yha my parent's where disappointed in think that im being delusional with doing digital marketing ...i didn't care about what they think because their wasy of living and making and my way of living is far much more not better but im able to bring generational wealth for them...😢it broke my heart when they called a psychologist for me think im crazy that im able to make a living through digital marketing but i didn't fucken care cause one thing that rebukes their emotions is that ill be able to make money online without a matric certificate but its fine ill prove them wrong ...keep going guys dont let other peoples belief systems limit u from making successes this way lets all prove them wrong keeping grinding
thats exactly what ive been looking for. watching videos after videos, reading articles and whatever. bro just turned on his camera and started spitting realest shi out here. no bs just pure fax, and thats why u earned a new subscriber. lock in lads. see ya out there.
Oh man, I can feel your pain. One of the first things I've learned from copywriting is not to 'overpromise' but 'overdeliver'. But how do you get work for free? Find cheap stuff on upwork?
I completely agree You’re new….you lack experience…. To gain experience you need clients…. Clients won’t pay for inexperience,, to get your foot in the door work for free, get endorsements from them use that as leverage for your other clients
Love this video. Excited to see the journey of this channel. You're speaking absolute facts about copywriting which more people need to know about, guys listen to this guy.
Man I’ve been around the block with this. I purchased a course from a guy who was one of the OG internet copywriters (he was posting vids years ago about writing copy)… Not gonna say any names… He talked about how much money he had made as a copywriter etc… After I got into his course, he even said himself that his course was his main source of income now. So what am I trying to say by telling you this? Simply this: Usually, if someone is vehemently preaching the benefits of something, it’s because they are a direct beneficiary of you buying that thing. Not always, but normally. Yes of course, you can make money in almost any business. But the harsh reality of the matter is, you should just do the thing and figure it out as you go. You really don’t need a guru to help you ”guide” you. Save your money.
Yoo you got my sub my friend! I'm also a beginner at Copywriting just started learning less then a week ago, doing my best to learn more about it and getting hypped to finally find ny first client. Wish you luck and to everyone below me lots of luck!
Love this brother, you actually come across as a real guy unlike these gurus. And props to you for the mindset - we're all gonna make this work. Earned yourself a subscriber!
Thank you for sharing Akeem. I'm also very much interested in copywriting. And I'm currently devoting more time to learn the nitty gritty. I'm glad I found your channel. A motivation that as beginners we can still aim high. Thanks for also recommending others.
I haven't attempted practicing copy yet or even thought about doing it for awhile now. I recently bought a laptop so i could give it a try but I'm scared that if I try something other than the shitty grind im used to, I'll not only eff up my life, but my wife's too. Watching you and hearing what you've had to say has made me really want to give it a go man. Im tired of being tired all the time.
Hey! Am also a beginner, and im posting on X now but no one cared about what i had to say, until i started writing about my story as a wheelchair user, my life has been hard you know. And im not lying when i say the first week on X i cryed almost everyday, am tired, now opened Yt and your video pop up. I cried again, thankyu for not lying to us you give me a litle bit more of hope about just keep writing. God bless you keep giving us these insights in your videos please.
good video bro, i think you should have much more subs, these days its more about flashy edits and all but REAL info is becoming short and less and less day by day
With markets tumbling, inflation soaring, the Fed imposing large interest-rate hike, while treasury yields are rising rapidly-which means more red ink for portfolios this quarter. How can I profit from the current volatile market, I'm still at a crossroads deciding if to liquidate my $125k bond/stocck portfoli0
It’s precisely at times like these that investors need to be on guard against the next certainty. You don’t have to act on every forecast, hence i will suggest you get yourself a financial-advisor that can provide you with entry and exit points on the shares/ETF you focus on.
Right, I've been in constant touch with a fiinancial-analyst since covid . You know these days it's really easy to buy into trending stock`s, but the task is determining when to buy or sell . My advisorr decides entry and exit commands on my portfoliio, I've accrued over $300k from an initially stagnant reserve of $150K.
marie slopiey donner is the licensed fiduciary I use. Just research the name on google. You’d find necessary details to work with a correspondence to set up an appointment.
great honest video... the thing with shooting out 100-200 dms on a daily basis is that it's tricky to find so many prospects in a single day... even softwares like apollo only give you around 1-2k prospect's details for a niche
I've literally just decided this week that I want to look into copywriting, and I'm not sure where to start. I've been writing my whole life, and only recently realized I could monetize that skil. But there's so much misinformation on youtube. Thanks for the real advice, I've subbed and I'll be checking out your other vids. Got a lot to learn.
@@Akeem_Bankhead yo Akeem, I don’t mean to over step my boundaries at all, but I’d love to be able to talk to you more freely, just to ask questions on copy writing, because unlike all the RUclips videos I’m watching, there’s no actual human interaction and feedback, I know, you’re just a beginner, but you seem to have some footing at least and I know I’m still really far off before I get mine I just want to clarify on some things if possible Thanks bro
Reach for the stars so if you fall you land on the clouds... Keep going higher Man 🚀 You're one day gon see yourself farther than you thought and you gon say a guy told me that on RUclips ❤
Thanks bro, i really needed to hear this because i thought sending 50 outreaches to 100 was unrealistic because you would be looking for people who you want to help and know exactly how to do it, and i thinking sending 20 outreaches while giving them free value is waaay for better then sending 100 normal outreaches like what everybody else is doing.....you know what they say, quality over quantity.🔥🔥🔥💯
Hey I'm developing in something different than copywriting, but what you said is relative to all aspects in life. I'm gonna use it and build on that. Thanks for sharing.
I actually enjoyed this video, keep doing more. Also, for a video idea, if you could explain the mistake you made thourghouly with that client in point 2, that would be great
bro, I've been doin' this shi for a min, lots of mistakes and have never landed a client, but I still do the outreach and learning. I aint quitting tho🙏
I'm just a beginner 😎 and I'm putting in everything i got while praying to God, to keep me going no matter what. Thanks for sharing bro i really appreciate it new subscriber 🙏🙏
That's my biggest fear. Actually landing a client, they send me their email list... and then when i go to do the work i don't know what the hell i'm even doing lol. What happened with that? Told her you were in over your head?
Nice video, I'd love to learn more from you and get to know you better, maybe think about creating discord server or something like that I think it is a good idea.
Finally someone who isn’t trying to be my dad 😂 Bro most of their videos are basically CTA pushin CTA and they need to look in an embellished way so they can sell you the dream within a time period or a specific end result people like Iman Ghadzi and Andrew tate they made many many millions out of basic copywriting techniques it’s really crazy out there 😂
My mind is totally messed up, i really can't choose between day trading and copywriting, I'm just going through every copywriting and day trading videos to choose one. any suggestion?
Thank you so much and i just want to ask what resources did u use when u started i am a beginner i started not so long ago like a week so please if u have any information please share❤❤
I totally agree I honestly feel like most "copywriting Gurus" plan is to learn a decent amount about copywriting then just create a course which in reality is their main goal to make money
So many young copywriters are so blinded by $$$ that they don't take the time and care to master the skill of copy. If you don't do the minutia or go the extra mile to be better than the competition than good luck. Most newbies suck, they don't care, and they are lazy because they want quick cash... they don't want a long lucrative career.
@@Akeem_Bankhead precisely. You have to get really good to see crazy money. So many people go "all in" because of the hype gurus generate only to find themselves quitting after 2-4 weeks. I recommend the channel Copy That! As a realistic and sincere approach to being a better & more successful copywriter.

High paying clients give you more headache tho?
@@nijooo5480They give high income too while the free ones give headache and no income
Can u tell more

Good vid bro spitting facts, I had a whole mindset shift when I realized we’re not just writing copy we’re helping people grow their business.

great video Akeem!! I can't wait to see where this channel goes!!
Bro I'm an inch away from tears
Why ?
Oh man, I can feel your pain. One of the first things I've learned from copywriting is not to 'overpromise' but 'overdeliver'. But how do you get work for free? Find cheap stuff on upwork?
Nah you do it yourself man just practice
Thanks for the insight. Just got into copy-writing and this opened my eyes. Keep grinding
You too Brodie, best of luck 🤞🏽
I completely agree
You’re new….you lack experience…. To gain experience you need clients…. Clients won’t pay for inexperience,, to get your foot in the door work for free, get endorsements from them use that as leverage for your other clients
bro fr keep up the work, helped me personally too bro!

Hey man, also starting copywriting as a beginner. Would love to like learn stuff from you on like a discord call or something!
For sure man. Working on my community as I’m typing this. I’ll update u when I have everything sorted out🙏🏽
The gurus are just trying to give angles so they can sell their courses, sell the shovel, oldest trick in the book
I recommend Copy That! They made me realize how free this stuff is online
Exactly
Great video 👍🏽💪🏽. I can tell you watched Tyson4D too. I’m pretty inconsistent but ima lock in and let everyone know how it goes 💪🏽.
Let’s go bro
Bro professor Andrew made sure we don’t do any of that.
Damn, you're blowing up.
Forever blessed 🙏🏽
They do make alot of money because they do rev shares and they also do most of the marketing for their clients
Yea the ones who usually make 40-60k monthly is coming from courses and rev shares.
Nice video, I'd love to learn more from you and get to know you better, maybe think about creating discord server or something like that I think it is a good idea.
That’s a good idea bro, I’ll keep that in mind moving forward. Got a lot of things planned for yall stay tuned g’
Damn those replies🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Bro could you create a video about what to ask from the client after closing the call coz some clients no nothing about it themselves
@@nhlanhlamncube8621 like payment wise?
Finally someone who isn’t trying to be my dad 😂

people like Iman Ghadzi and Andrew tate they made many many millions out of basic copywriting techniques it’s really crazy out there 😂

@@Akeem_Bankhead I am now questioning if you can actually make money as a copywriter not as a guru
Thank you
i've been interested in learning copy but i'm confused about where to start how to practice and how will i know if my copy is good.
First thing first, keep consuming free knowledge about copywriting. Do NOT buy a course.
Yeah I watch Tyson 4D, KJ Rainey, and GaryMooreSpeech, the three main ones I watch videos from
yoo bro, love this video. I’m curious, did you make money with RUclips already?
i fuk with this dude
besides Tyson 4D who else do you recommend we watch? i want to consume the most valuable free content
Good content, keep it up🔥
