"How soon can I start earning money?" CCA answers inside!

Hi {NAME}, We’ve gotten a lot of questions about the [Comprehensive Copywriting Academy]( and, since you haven’t joined us yet, we thought you’d be especially interested in the answers! :) We've written out answers below (feel free to skim for your particular question) but we've also put together video and audio answers to some top questions like "How do I know if copywriting is for me?" and "How soon can I start earning?" ***[Check out our audio and video answers right here!](***  What makes the Comprehensive Copywriting Academy different from other copywriting trainings?  First, we're based in real-world copywriting work and experience. As you've probably seen, there are a lot out there that are focused on "online sales letters" and other things like that that no one really does anymore. You'll never land a job or some freelance work with an ad agency with a portfolio full of online sales letters. :) They also tend to make a lot of promises like, “Make six figures working from home in your pajamas in your first year.” I’m going to go ahead and call BS on that. It’s perfectly possible to make six figures, but it’s likely not going to happen in your first year. If it sounds too good to be true…it is.  Our students get the benefit of my 20 years of experience, plus the years of experience of the other copywriting pros on our team. This isn’t a program from someone who’s been writing copy for a few years and has seen a little success. We’ve been through it all—recessions, crazy clients, insane economies, and, now, a pandemic! And we just keep thriving. :) Also, we call the training the Comprehensive Copywriting Academy “comprehensive” for a reason: We cover the fundamentals of copywriting, the advanced tactics, and how to build your skills, but also how to build a portfolio, how to build your online portfolio site, how to land your first clients, how to parlay those into bigger and better-paying clients, how to land ad agency work and much more.  And, finally, we offer a high level of support. All of our students get monthly access to us via our live, twice-a-month Coaching Calls, plus additional support in our private, students-only Facebook group. You’re never on your own.  How can I be sure it’ll pay for itself? Great question! The first part of the answer is that the whole Comprehensive Copywriting Academy was *designed* to pay for itself over and over again—for you to be wildly successful. After all, we’re only successful if you’re successful, so we’ve given you all of the resources we can to get you there.  That said, though, this isn’t a get-rich-quick scheme. If that’s what you’re looking for, you’re in the wrong place. This is real career training for people who want to create a real career (whether full-time or part-time, on-staff or freelance). And that means that while we give you all of the resources and support, you do have to put in the time to learn it and practice it.  But if you do the work—if you watch the videos, do the action sheets, take the steps, join the Coaching Calls—there’s no reason you shouldn’t succeed and cover the cost of the course many, many times over. That’s why we offer our [30-day "It Works If You Work It" guarantee](. If you do all of the work within 30 days, you watch the trainings and do the action sheets and attend the coaching calls, and you’re not seeing results, then we'll happily return your purchase price.  [Image]( Is this for me if I want to write copy full-time/part-time/on-staff/freelance? One of the great things about copywriting (among many great things) is how flexible it can be. If your goal is to get a full-time, on-staff job writing copy, we can help you do that. If you want a part-time, side gig writing copy to bring in a little extra cash, we can help you do that. If you want to write copy for clients all over as you travel around the world, we can help you with that, too.  What does the CCA cover? This is already a long email, and there’s a whole TON that we cover, so we’ve put it up on a webpage for you to refer to. [Check it out here](.  Do I get lifetime access? Yep! You get lifetime access to all of the course materials, plus access to any additional trainings we add. You can go through it all now, and come back to refresh any time you want to.  How long will it take me to get through the CCA? The whole Comprehensive Copywriting Academy program is self-paced and you get instant access. There are 30+ hours of videos (plus action sheets and Coaching Call recordings) so, conceivably, you could get through it all in a month, but we wouldn’t recommend that. :) You’ll need some time to practice and let all of the information sink in, as well as apply the tactics and steps we give you.  We’ve also made it self-paced since, well, sometimes life gets in the way. If a family vacation comes up or somebody gets sick or something else takes over your schedule, you can take that time and come back to the CCA when you’re ready. The courses will always be ready and waiting for you, your fellow students in the private Facebook group will always be ready and waiting for you, and the Coaching Calls (live and past recordings) will always be waiting for you.  How much help and support do I get? Great question. You’re learning a new career, so you can—and should—have questions. We have twice-monthly, live Coaching Calls with our team where we answer questions, review your portfolio site, help you with client projects—anything! And you can ask your questions live, or you can send them to us in advance. And if you can’t make any of the calls, don’t worry—we have recordings up within about 24 hours after the call is over.  You also have full access to our students-only, private Facebook group where you can share experiences, ask questions, and get support from your fellow students. And, of course, my team and I hop in all the time to offer our two cents, too.  (Also…If you’re interested in more one-on-one support you’ll have the option to purchase calls after you join.)  Can’t I just figure all of this out by myself? Sure! I did—it just took me several years and I wasted a lot of time and money. If you have time and money to waste, that’s absolutely a way you could go. I will say, though, that a lot of people go that route…and never figure it out. (Those people who tell you that, “Copywriting is really hard to get into” are almost always people who tried to go it on their own…and were never able to make it work.)  But, when I was getting started, there weren’t any copywriting courses like this. I had to figure it out on my own. (And I was lucky I managed to do it.) You can build a house from scratch with zero skills and plans, or you can build a house with a blueprint from a master builder who also teaches you how to do all of the work. Which makes more sense to you?  Can I write for a country if I’m not a native speaker of the language? We don’t actually recommend that you try to write copy for a country if you don’t speak that language natively. There are too many idiosyncrasies of a language that you can’t fully master, even if you’re fluent. Plus, slang changes on a monthly—if not daily—basis. It’s your career and you can do what you want, but we want to be completely clear upfront. ​Does the CCA include [fill in the blank]? We couldn't possibly list out all of the topics we cover in the Comprehensive Copywriting Academy and you couldn't possibly think of all of the things you'll need help with. (You can't tell the future, after all!) That's why we have twice-monthly coaching calls, and why those coaching calls are so important: We can cover *whatever* is on your mind, whatever you have questions about, and whatever you need more help with. You're never going this alone or trying to make this work in a vacuum; you have our help and support, plus the support of your fellow students in our private Facebook group.  Got any more questions? Then ask! Just reply to this email and we’ll be in touch.  If you’re ready to join the Comprehensive Copywriting Academy, now’s the time. (The clock is ticking!) Literally!
