Hey Neville, I've never seen anyone give so much value as you do.. the copywriting course was to me easily worth double what people pay As a step ahead from it, I've some strong ideas running in my head..I'd love if I could bounce a couple off you It's a bit long and I prefer to share by email Where could I email you?

Great video, thanks Neville! I've had a blog on luxury marketing for 10 years and now I write a weekly newsletter ( www.what-the-luxe.com ) and a RUclips Channel. I write regularly but I wonder what are the best ways to get better at copywriting?
I have never done ANY of what you just mentioned but what attracts me to Copywriting is that I know it is such a valuable skill that I can have and provide to the marketplace. I love Photography and Video but I also know it is not as valuable as copy and therefore I lose motivation to pursue photo and film. I would rather increase my own value by working on persuasion and influence cause I know these skills will get me much further in life in terms of success. What are your thoughts?
hey @kopywriting . I Create videos & i have no writing experience . Just a couple of blogs ! And this is of-course not a good sign but i have written creative scripts for my short form videos. (400+ scripts) and i enjoy writing them. do they count ?
Really loved the knowledge. I am not a copywriter, I do work as a freelance graphic designer and after seeing your 2-3 videos I was able to improve my proposal writing and in the first attempt, I boosted my response rate. So, thanks and keep posting good stuff
GOOD! Just make sure you have realistic expectations. Pickup some good skills in copywriting, and keep your options open to other types of freelancing. Go to Fiverr.com and checkout the crazy amount of gigs people offer online!
Lots of your stuff online is great and I like your content. Even tho this video can be misleading to some beginners. It's true that most people are not committed etc... Just like in anything, even at the gym. They've bad habits, they have "bad" social circle/friends, they watch "bad" and useless videos that makes them undisciplined etc... But that's the thing, is more habitual than anything else. Even "liking" something is a myth. it's scientific. It all comes down to dopamine. If you get dopamine from something then you "love it" because you want to get back to it and get some more dopamine. And you get dopamine only once it becomes a habit and/or when you get results. That's the problem with the info in this video. Plus copywriting is first selling and then writing (as you know better than me). But way much more selling than writing as Dan Kennedy, Hopkins etc... all thought. It all comes down to direct response. Direct response requires a deep understanding of people that you don't get with "creativity" but with research processes. Then crafting the messages and offers with that and again not from "creativity". Again Dan Kennedy said he uses formulas 80% of the times (Problem:Agitation:Solution) and research (prospects, product/service and competitors / past marketing already done). This seems easy but is the opposite. This is simple but it takes shitloads of discipline to do research, test new messages, offers and copy. The writing comes after all of this and is all based on the DRM research (you know better than me, just saying that for beginners who don't). Overall Neville gives good advices. Like getting paid $100 is the best way to get started etc...
Awesome video, Neville! After being in this industry for a while it's really refreshing to see a no-bs approach that highlights the skill itself, not the Madmen/Ogilvy copywriting career.
Hey Cristian, yeah I think that old school method is more Agency Copywriting: copywritingcourse.com/how-to-become-a-copywriter/#become-agency-copywriter The SKILL itself is the valuable thing! You don't always have to charge for copywriting as a career on it's own, but often times create your own business and apply copywriting to it.
Hi! I really enjoyed this video, and yes I plan to focus my previous life-skills and work experience on a copywriting career! Although I agree with you that copywriting is a skill that business owners should try to master, it can be very time-consuming, and as there are only 24 hours in a day, many business owners would prefer to hire copywriters full time or part time , even remotely, so that they, the business owners can focus their time on other tasks to grow their business. This comes from speaking with a number of owners in the restaurant, health-care, legal, dental and other fields...I look forward to working my a** off, to make it my new career! The cream rises to the top! Cheers, Julie.
I'm learning copywriting as a skill. The main reasons for learning are to land more gigs and communicate well with people. Yeah, some people overhype copywriting. Thanks, Neville. It's something to think about before making copywriting a full-time career.
That's awesome, it's an AMAZING skill, not always a great career (depending on who you are). I would suggest you learn copywriting but also keep your options open to other freelancing options. I have a whole series on this if you want (all free on RUclips): copywritingcourse.com/freelance-writing-course/
@@kopywriting Thanks, Neville. Bookmarked the blog post for reference. Yeah, learn copywriting to complement my other skills. And apply it in real life 👍
@@kopywriting Thank you Neville. I developed my career in journalism and a s a publicist by honing my writing skills and now am eager to learn copywriting to add to my skill list to help my clients.
Hi Neville, Your supper awesome, I want to share you a quick story, I was an application developer, turned web and now I'm a mobile front-end developer. I was never good when it comes to speaking, but once i got into copywriting, you were not the first person i met (being honest here...), I used to be impressed with the way he wrote, I started to decode him, more i decoded.. more i understood their was a pattern, and within months I got that skill inside me, Now whatever i write seems to impress people. I'm not the copywriting guy, But copywriting has become part of me. It helps me to understand people better. This is my first comment, And Your content does impress me bro... Fingers cross, i have no idea if you will read this, but i have some positive vibes, and i wrote this because I wanted to thank you. I'm still a shy guy...
You just enlightened me . Actually I love to write things in paper but I don't post it . Im gonna do it write on online and increase my online presence
Umm, sorry to say this but!!!! Before 2020, I used to hate writing, literally hate it! But, the turnaround time came when I started working as a content writer and by the god's grace, it made me discover my love for writing, now I'm learning Copywriting. So, I don't think this is a good sign to judge or test anyone on the basis of if they've ever written something! 🙄
This video is soo helpful! Thanks a lot! I'm 17(Indian), I love human psychology and selling. So I'm getting into copywriting. I've completed $200 worth of content writing. Can you give some advice to grow/start as an ONLINE copywriter?
Hey, Neville 👋 (Que : awaiting your response, thank you 😊) So, I have started learning copywriting and thankfully in the very beginning of the journey I got to know about you and your videos/newsletters etc 1. Would you help me know/understand more about niches? 2. What is your advice about getting clients while staying anonymous? 3. Which niche copywriting is in huge demand in current market?
Building yourself to reach copywriting skill is not easy. You have to go through those experiences in order to get there. English is not my native language and I find it more difficult, thus I am willing to learn, I am going to practice and apply those advice that you said. Its all worth it to spend time watching your videos.
Hi Neville, Thank you for the video. I like your emails. One piece of advice for filming. If you use a prompter, you should change something, so your eyes are directed to the camera. And keep up the good work!
Thanks AL! Copywriting seems to be promoted as WAYYYY too easy. It's definitely possible, we see people succeed all the time, but sometimes it's just way oversold to people who don't have much of a chance to make it.
Neville thx a million for this as I've been researching loads into all sorts of business models, freelancing, types of digital marketing and skills like copywriting, email copywriting looked good as it's only email. But after listening to you I'm going to take only a small step back, learn all the fundamentals and basic skills of digital marketing inside out as best as possible, including copywriting, then only specialise, they call this concept the T-Shaped Digital Marketer. Thank you
I’m learning marketing copywriting, and seo copywriting....I love writing long posts and wrote short stories since I was little. I love writing.......I’m just trying to figure out how to set up my copywriting formats.
“Have you written anything online?” Well yeah I write code 😂😂😂 My main focus for this year is learning how to code and make RUclips videos atleast hitting that 50k subs this year ( not with this youtube account) Anyways I’ve started learning coding on dec 2020 And I’ve already learned html and css, Now I’m gonna learn JavaScript easy to get started but hard to master Copywriting is not career for me, but I’ll learn it in the future as a skillset What are your main goals this year? I love to hear it !
Hey Adaz coding is an INCREDIBLY useful skill! Keep going with that and doing it online. I watch this one youtube show called Coding Rainbow all the time. My personal goals are listed here: www.nevblog.com/category/goals/ Hope you hit your goal this year!!!
I have recently written a poetry book and self published it. I also run a Instagram page for sharing my poetry with 5k+ followers with a great amount of engagement that gave me a opportunity to write for a online magazine. I also write songs but too scared to share. I Journal alot. Can I jump in copywriting too ? I want to explore more and more into writing.
For MOST people the answer is no. I"m ONLY here to learn how to write better book blurbs to sell more books I write. I'm a passionate writer, I LOVE writing I mean that truly. But I also think an effective copywriter MUST know 1) the market 2) the product. There are some products I know, but not most. I know even fewer markets. I can think of 10 reasons NOT to become or be appropriate for copy writing.
Curious: at some point it became popular to shoot talking heads with two cameras: one, looking directly into camera; one, looking off axis. Why is this being done? Or, more specifically, why did you do it in this video?

This content value Packed. Love it.❤ Thanks, Neville for putting so much effort to create such informative content. All this I can say it is a road map from A to Z for beginners. You are Awasome🙌🏻
Hi Neville What about going to school for communication and just having a goal to work for an advertising agency. I am not interested in becoming a freelancer.
Hi, I am very good at "Headlines", playing with key words that get stuck on your mind and I read a lot about our brain etc... In addition to that I am a visual artist with "big ideas" at all times lol and a seller since I remember. I have been thinking about offering Copywriting to my freelance work as an extra service... Any advice? I just bought the Boron Letters book, can't wait to start reading it.
I actually dont mind sitting down and writing the whole day for free as long as im learning something, but english is not my strong point and I havent wirtten something In my life except in school because otherwise why would I do it? I bought some books you have recommended, so what do you think should I become a "copywriter" ? (Im 21 years old if that will make a difference in anything)
Hey Omar, you're so young so you DEFINITELY should try a lot of options. If I were you I'd follow this post, try this out to make some income from freelancing: copywritingcourse.com/how-to-make-100-dollars/
The main point for me was: "View copywriting as a skill, not a career"
Are YOU trying to become a copywriter? Let me know your questions!
Hey Neville, I've never seen anyone give so much value as you do.. the copywriting course was to me
easily worth double what people pay
As a step ahead from it, I've some strong ideas running in my head..I'd love if I could bounce a couple off you
It's a bit long and I prefer to share by email
Where could I email you?

Perfect timing! I just bought a copywriting course yesterday on Udemy (sorry Neville) and this gives me a clear idea of what to expect.

Just like in anything, even at the gym.
They've bad habits, they have "bad" social circle/friends, they watch "bad" and useless videos that makes them undisciplined etc...
But that's the thing, is more habitual than anything else.
Even "liking" something is a myth.
it's scientific.
It all comes down to dopamine.
If you get dopamine from something then you "love it" because you want to get back to it and get some more dopamine.
And you get dopamine only once it becomes a habit and/or when you get results.
That's the problem with the info in this video.
Plus copywriting is first selling and then writing (as you know better than me).
But way much more selling than writing as Dan Kennedy, Hopkins etc... all thought.
It all comes down to direct response. Direct response requires a deep understanding of people that you don't get with "creativity" but with research processes.
Then crafting the messages and offers with that and again not from "creativity".
