hey sarah, thank you for making this video! not sure if you've done this before, but would you consider making a video about making the transition from blogs to other forms of copy, like email or sales pages? i feel a bit stranded in the land of blog posts. i keep sending cold emails related to other types of copy, but sadly, i'm only getting responses for blogs. p.s. i've been listening to older episodes inner archeology lately and I love it! you cover such fascinating topics :)
I'm so glad you're enjoying Inner Archeology! That means the world to me! :) Thanks for that suggestion! One way to branch out into other forms of copy is to offer them to your current clients. Also make sure you're clearly communicating the value of other forms of copy in your conversations and pitches. It may just take some time, so keep trying!
Love this Sarah! I’m in the onboarding process with my first potential client for blog content, but I really want to write emails and eventually webpage copy. I’m definitely going to implement the rewriting of existing copy to not only learn the craft, but excel in it! Thanks so much for the tips.
It’s great to see you in a new video. Most of your suggested videos I watched are like 3-4 years old. You’re as gorgeous as ever ❤ One question, have you read either breakthrough advertising or the breakthrough brilliance by Eugene Schwartz? Those books highly recommended by seemingly most copywriters, but they are very rare and very expensive. You can’t even find them in stores. Fortunately, I found both on a Reddit like site.
Aaaamaaaaaziiing info, insight, and confidence building. I've been that wanna-be copywriter stuck in research mode for...Sadly, too many years. I am READY! The compiled tools, platforms, concepts, education, practice, etc. I have gained in that boxed in time are burtsing at the seams. I'm hitting Fiverr in the next hour and just pedal to the metal babeeez. Any other Jr. Copywriters that read this, hit me up, and I am happy to collaborate, edit, share experiences, and anything else that will launch us to where we want to go. Cheers!
So happy you’re taking that next step! You got this! Keep in mind, cold emailing is a great client acquisition strategy, even for a newbie. Check out my video for tips - ruclips.net/video/7A7Wwhboi-U/видео.html
Absolutely fabulous as this rare ideas are really awesome and exceptional as at the end of the day practice makes copywriting perfect and the concept of learn and earn was really interesting as i strongly believe in it. The golden nuggets were really effective and informative as well.
This is such great info. You mention reaching out to busy copywriters in several of your videos, but you never mention how to do this. I know you say to stay away from places like Fiver and Upwork, as newbie copywriters, so how would we reach out to experienced copywriters to avoid those other job boards?
You can find copywriters many different ways including Facebook groups and Googling them. You can treat this like a cold email where you email them making sure to lead with value.
Hey, Sarah. I've began handcopying over a month ago but I find I can't do more than about 20 minutes at a time because I start to feel pain in my wrist. I guess carpal tunnel.... I KNOW what you're saying makes sense -- to hand write it -- it's how I learned everything in undergrad and grad school: the more difficult concepts, I wrote them over and over and over and learned it. My body is in it's 50's now... I guess not as nimble as I used to be. Is there ANY way I can get a pass on this writing by hand in order to save the nerves in my wrists? Is there ANY other option for me?
While handcopying is definitely a great technique and extremely helpful, if you can’t do it, that’s totally okay! Find other techniques that may work best for you. Maybe re-reading something repeatedly? Or possibly listening to copywriting podcasts and watching more copywriting videos. Do what feels right for you and what works for you! 🤗 You’ve got this!
They will usually have a form on their website asking for your email address- usually offering a valuable piece of content in exchange. Submitting your info should get you on the list.
How does one compete with AI? It's getting super versatile, and can write a short story based on just a few words; usually for free. How does an aspiring copywriter compete with that?
I totally understand your concerns. I don't see AI tools being able to replace copywriters the way I teach copywriting. And I think that's an important distinction to make. I teach my students how to be so much more than copywriters. They become marketing strategists. And those are not going to be replaced anytime soon. I also show my students how to go after high-end clients. These clients are too busy running their businesses to write their own copy. Which means they're also too busy to learn how to use AI programs to create their own copy. Keep in mind, this career is always about increasing your skill set and staying adaptable. Because the world of digital marketing has always been shifting. This is just yet another example of how that happens.

You’re so welcome! One step at a time. You got this!
Recently I learn that hire editor to give you feedback before client give you feedback is really life changer ❤
Getting help from a copyeditor is a great way to improve as a writer and make sure your copy is ready for your clients!
I’ve been thinking about this. Love your spirit Sarah. And your attitude!
Thanks for watching!

Where is the best place to find a copyeditor or reach out to a seasoned copywriter to help them out?
Facebook groups are a great way to find editors or other copywriters. You can also check out LinkedIn or use Google to find some to reach out to.

As Jim Edwards says, AI saves you the time arriving at a first draft... you can then save your energy to humanizing it with the fine tuning
