    The best point I got is that your search is almost completed if you find the same stuff/points you already know on further searching....
    Good Point MashaaAllah

    Copy that! For real!
    This video should be teached in the high school. It touches so many different deep and abstract themes, solving them in an awesome combination between pragmatism and mindset.
    Just have to elaborate it for a while.
    Best thanks from Italy!

    Here’s my dilemma. I don’t have a reliable computer. I want/need to get one but don’t know what I should be looking for when shopping for one. This will be a big purchase and an investment in (hopefully) my new successful career. So where do I begin? Financially I only have one shot at getting this right. There isn’t any room for error. So I can’t even contemplate dipping my toes into the copywriting pool until I get this taken care of. Sigh…. I would appreciate it immensely if you (any or all of “you”) shared your suggestions with me. I am anxious to start but need to get my cart before the horse. (Have I used enough metaphors and run on sentences here?😊) I am slightly nervous and very excited! And very interested in what you will recommend. Thank you in advance for any advice!

      We know a copywriter from Nigeria who launched his career and got clients with nothing but an Android phone. We know another copywriter who launched his career from a second-hand, 12 year old laptop. Save yourself the stress and money: you really do not need a super good or expensive computer to do this. Just something that can reliably access the internet and word processing software. Good luck! We're rooting for you!

    • @conmart02
      @conmart02 Год назад +1

      Thank you for the timely advice and the positivity! It’s definitely contagious! And because of it I am even more jazzed about starting!
      But……As far as word processing software goes, can you get that on a phone too? (I DO have an SE third generation iPhone with a variety of apps and lots of storage space available). Pardon my ignorance-I am embarrassed by it, but am willing to expose it here because I can tell that you are good, non-judgmental folks. 😊 Being non-savvy about word processing as well, should I just put this dream on hold? I keep on finding blocks in the road and wonder if I should take them as a sign.
      And since I am here writing you….🥹What are your thoughts on AWAI? I found them online and they seem gung-ho about signing me up☺️. I just wondered if you have an opinion that you would like to share?
      Thank you again for taking the time to answer my first questions. I am SO HAPPY that I found your channel here on RUclips!!!! 🎉

      On your phone, open up a web browser and go to docs.google.com. I think you can also download the Google Docs app. It is totally free, easy to use, and should be more than enough to get you started!
      AWAI is technically a competitor of ours, but we're friendly with them. We recommend only paying for a course or program AFTER you do work for and get paid by your first client or job. That way you know what this business is like before you start spending money on it!

      Your channel and its content are a godsend for anyone lacking copywriting skills and the necessary confidence required to pursue it as a career.
      You’re both our willing teachers AND our enthusiastic cheerleaders! THANK YOU!❤
      I promise to revisit this video after I have embarked on this journey, so I can share any successes that may have come my way, thanks to your advice and direction. But until then, I am grateful for the giddy up as I head off to the races!😂

    • @CopyThat
      @CopyThat  2 года назад

      Contracts: doable but tricky. Technically if you're not a lawyer, you can get in trouble for writing or advising on a contract.
      Proposals: we have ample stuff about that in the Patreon.
      Deliberables: What do you mean?

    Hello, I just want to ask you one question: If the target is already solution/product aware then how do you write an email for them? I usually build a desire and then reveal the product/ solution. But I think that's for the cold audience. I just become totally black when it comes to writing for product-aware audiences. BTW I am a newbie and this one thing is stopping me to search for clients. I just feel that, if I am not able to write for a hot audience then if a project of this kind comes then what would I do? Please do answer this.

    • @CopyThat
      @CopyThat  2 года назад +5

      We did a whole series, in the early days of the show, on writing for different stages of awareness.
      This is the episode we did on problem aware folks: ruclips.net/video/G7dRJjM4tLc/видео.html
      And this is the one we did on more product aware folks: ruclips.net/video/9Jkg81ZyFA8/видео.html
      But more importantly: this shouldn't be a thing that stops you. Your approach to writing to product aware folks will be something you discover along the way, through trial and error.

    Each video's a quick dopamine hit for copywriters ... you guys save a lot of people from imposter syndrome & overall anxiety for newbies like me.🥲
    Thank you for taking time after your working hours to create content.
    Hope Rod, Luke & Lindsey doing well.
