Quick Quiz: Can YOU be successful as a copywriter?

Hi {NAME}, We answered a lot of questions about the [Comprehensive Copywriting Academy]( in the last email, but we may not have answered the most pressing one for you:  Is copywriting right for you?  Obviously, I don’t know you personally (yet) so I can’t answer that for you. The only person who’s actually qualified to answer that is, well, you. If you're saying to yourself, “This Comprehensive Copywriting Academy sounds great…But I don’t know for sure if I want to become a copywriter.”  Well...that makes sense. You’re asking yourself if copywriting is right for you—the one perfect career for you.  But you’re thinking that you have to be SURE it’s perfect in order to get something out of it…and that’s just not the case.  It’s not about being sure, it’s about being committed to getting something out of this program. Because if you just follow the steps that we give you, you WILL get something out of it, no matter what.  If you follow all the steps, there is absolutely no reason for it not to pay for itself many, many times over.  You may decide that you want to do it as a side hustle and have it in your back pocket to earn extra cash when you want to—or when you NEED it to.  Maybe you WILL discover that you love it and that you want to do it full time.  Or maybe you’ll discover that you don’t want to do it full-time, but that the skills you learn make you more marketable for the job you do want to do or you end up in a job that isn’t strictly copywriting, but you land it BECAUSE you’re able to apply for it with the marketing skills you learn in this course. (Which has happened for several of our students). [Image](  It’s not about this being the perfect job for you or not – perfect doesn’t exist.  And it’s not about deciding that this will be your lifelong career in this moment—nothing has to be set in stone!  It’s about whether you’re committed to finding a new and better path for yourself, committed to having options, and having a safety card to play if you want (or need) one.  It’s about valuing yourself enough to commit to finding something better and increasing your options. After all, the more options you have, the freer and easier your life gets.  Here’s a video from a few copywriting students who can offer their perspectives on it: [Image](  Okay, ready for that quick quiz? Here you go: Do you have a natural writing talent? Is writing something you enjoy? Do people regularly say to you, “Wow! You’re a good writer” or even ask, “Hey, can you write this for me? You’re so much better at it”? You don’t have to already know how to write copy (obviously—that’s what we’re here for) but you should have a way with words. And this isn’t the time to be humble: Is it in you? You may be so good at it that you don’t even realize that it’s hard for most people. If you already have a natural writing talent, this is the most basic, foundational element for copywriting success.  Can you follow instructions? In the Comprehensive Copywriting Academy, we’ve put together everything you need to do to become a successful copywriter, and we’ve given you the exact steps to take to do it. But…if you’re not someone who’s able to follow those steps, it’s not going to work. Anyone can assemble a 747 airplane if they have the right instructions—lots of instructions, I’d imagine!—but they can’t if they don’t follow them. If you can follow the steps we lay out, you can build a successful copywriting career.  Can you find 10-30 minutes at least 5 days a week? I wish I could tell you that there’s some magic pill for success, but there just isn’t. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: This isn’t a get-rich-quick scheme. It’s real career training. And that means that you need to take some time out of your schedule to do it. The good news is, though, that you don’t need hours and hours. Consistency is really the key. If you can even find just 10 or 15 minutes per day most of the week you can make progress and reach your goals.  Is doing creative, fulfilling work important to you? For some people, what they do for a living just isn’t important to them. They go in, they punch their card, and they go home. Those are the “live for the weekend” people. And best of luck to them. But are you different? Are you someone who’s not willing to spend 40+ a week for 40+ years of your life doing something that bores you or depresses you or frustrates you? Is doing work that fulfills you and challenges you creatively important to you?  Can you identify your Big Why? This is important because this is part of what helps carry you through on those days when you don’t feel like putting in the time. (We have a whole training about exactly what to do on those days to keep yourself moving forward in the CCA.) What’s your “Big Why”? What’s driving your desire to change? Is it to make more money? Is it to be in a career you love? Is it to do something where your writing is respected and appreciated? Is it to have more flexibility in your career? The Big Why is different from person to person, but if you can identify your own particular drive for success—and keep it in mind—it will carry you very far.  Are you open to being coached? This is a really important one. We have the tools and tactics, plus support and advice to get you where you want to go…but if you’re not open to them, then it’s just not going to work. Believe it or not, there are plenty of people who purchase courses and then immediately think, “I’m going to find a different way” and abandon the course completely. And guess what happens? They’re not successful. We are deeply invested in and committed to helping our students be successful, but you have to be willing to follow the (tried and true) steps we lay out instead of searching around for a different way to do it. Because you know what? That searching around is really just a form of procrastination. If you’re willing to be coached, we can help get you there.  Okay, so what were your answers? Did you answer “yes” to most—if not all—of the questions? If so, then I just have to ask…what are you waiting for?  [Your enrollment period in the Comprehensive Copywriting Academy is just about to close.Â](  This is your chance to learn how to build a successful copywriting career—a fulfilling, creative career that pays you well—step by step.  We take you through everything from learning to write copy to building your portfolio, finding clients, and ensuring that you always have work coming in.
