Hi Alex, my contract for my job is ending soon and they offered me something that I can not take. I’m going to start my copywriting business instead...I will be watching all of your videos to help guide me along the way. Thank you for sharing your knowledge. Cheers to getting out of the rat race.
Many thanks, I've been looking for "freelance copywriting blog" for a while now, and I think this has helped. Have you heard people talk about - Fenrianna Subconscious Framework - (do a search on google ) ? It is a smashing one of a kind product for discovering how to become an in demand freelance copywriter with no experience minus the normal expense. Ive heard some unbelievable things about it and my colleague got excellent success with it.
English was one of my strongest subjects in school, however I fn hated writing 5 page essays. Such a waste of time and boy was it time consuming. But copywriting is different because I can do simple things like Social media post, emailing, etc.
This video was great. I am a freelance content writer from India and I do watch your videos. 2 months back, I got an Indian client and offered me copywriting. Though I had never done copywriting and didn't even mentioned in my LinkedIn. It was my first copy I had ever written and it took me 1 and half day of research and 2 hours of writing.
tell us your stories please! How did you get in? Where did you travel? (I left toronto in 2001 to teach abroad, taiwan, and have had a great time, but teaching, well, it's over for me. I"m studying copywriting and marketing in general.)
I've heard that it is best to use your name as your business name when starting a copywriting business. Do you think it is better to use your name or come up with some creative business name? My name is more common than I thought it would be and when I Google my name, another person who also happens to be a writer comes up so I am wondering what I should do. Thanks and Happy Holidays!
Hmm. I don't have a strong opinion about either or. But using your name makes it a lot easier to pivot to something different in the future, if you decide to. With that being said, if you use a pen name, or a brand name that's more universal, that allows you to pivot as well as differentiate. If another writer has you name I'd definitely do something different. Happy Holidays!!
PLEASE make a video discussing your training course. I wanna know when it will become available, the features of the course, etc. Of all the training courses out there, I’d rather take yours, but I am losing patience 😬😫❤️
Thanks!! I’ll do a video in the future on my recommended program! I’m also launching a coaching program in January. You can get on the list here AlexCattoni.com/posse
Yeah, copywriting is a good business but it needs language so fluently, according to you said that language is not necessary but it is my special attention in English language, So I am not able to convey my whole idea 💡 but I as well as possible I am trying to understand what I listened, what next my reaction, how to delever on the 🧱🪨 spot as what I heard back 🔙 to you in response it may negative or positive.I accept it can be done ✅ in many languages but it is not possible at the 🧱🪨 same time now, it takes too much time. Copy writing is a one type of thoughts that we convert into words, So how much our relentless in that way it is depend on us. it may also in many styles, how to make it interesting that is the skills of copy writing Blog. thanks 🫂😊 for all your 🎁 experiment 🧪 to deal with me in differient way and focusing by me is well learning lessons for me.

Hey Alex. i've been learning allot of cool information about copywriting through you! I wanted to get into copywriting myself but i'm not sure if I should focus on content or copy? I am currently trying to start up a personal training business and want to learn how to copywrite for myself and to show proof of concept to others in the fitness community, but I also wanted to branch out to content writing related to traveling. What style of writing would you suggest I focus on? Thanks for your input!
Hi Alex Yeah, all the ten that you unrolled herein fits to fist away the myth on copywriting - Cheers 😊 To self say of my writing, I keep open my mind on various verticals and sleeve the thought waves on the subject at focus, unveil the beauty of unknown dimensions , be it hot or cold,its my dine, to make sensible appeal. Alex, where am I, onto my offer to you 🙃😊
Hi Alex i appreciate your content n admire your passion. 🤗 I learned a lot from you regarding copy writing., and still perusing! Have already subscribed for your copy posse course and dying to go through it! Just a quick question want to know would it be taught in that how to get clients! Or I'd more than happy if you share the index of the course in next video! Bye for now. ✌🏻 😀
So thanks for your support ❤️☺️ to give me a feedback after my practice regarding about the product and little bit know about the copy writing business strategy Some of your message 🤠😊❤️ and interest in this group is helpful for me and for the next time I am able to make it more pleasurable So in my opinion it is perfect for copy writing group author and little bit know about it that in copy writing we can't say at the same time about whole story theme 🤣😅 is but as a part of some of in it of course your suggestion is helpful for me and access to make it easy for me. Thanks for all the best wishes for your support and family members 🤠😊❤️🤠 development of this business strategy which is always there for me.
Hey Alex, Can you tell me you had niches like spirituality and entrepreneurship but how can this topics promotes a product or service ? My niche is Health and fitness as my interest.shall I start making blogs on this to people see and then I can attract clients towards me ????? Or can I start with upwork to reaching out for clients showing my own creative samples ?? ( plz reply like I will take all my answers ❤️)
I would start by networking with brands and business that are in your niche, as you build relationships with them you may find that a job naturally falls into place.
Informative. I just finished my first fundamentals Udemy Copywriting course. I enjoyed it. Now I'm tasked with finding a way to practice writing copy. Aside from some copy exercises in my course I have no experience and am searching for copy workshops or maybe a mentorship. I can't say at this point what kind of writing I think I'd like (email, blogging sales letters etc) because I haven't done any. Sooo, I'm at that, what next? stage.
Great video! I see that a lot of copywriters on Fiverr charge based on word count. You mentioned that's not recommended. What is the best place to find a copywriter for hire?
@@AlexCattoni Maybe check into him. He's a copywriter and a rather unorthodox email marketer. This video made me think of him. BTW, new subscriber, thanks for replying.
@@calebradford1642 Ohhhh that. hehe. You may want to watch this video where I share a bit more. But great feedback and I'll remember that for a future video! th-cam.com/video/B4jVhgiWFBY/w-d-xo.html
Hey there! I don’t ever consider SEO when writing copy. If it ranks thanks a bonus, but SEO applies more for content. Good questions! Also, you can join the launch list for my program AlexCattoni.com/posse
I'm in a pickle and can't seem to find a good answer anywhere. Hope you can help.... You mentioned that good copy is not filler copy and i totally agree with that. But the Google Ads algorithm seems to disagree. The quality score i get for a full of filler copy landing page goes around 8/10 and has 11% ctr, but my LP following every good practice goes around 5/10 with 3,5% ctr The conversion rates are about the same, so i should keep both online, right? Problem is that the filler page gives me A LOT of bad leads, like, my receptionist was receiving calls that had very different objectives, but those contacts made sense, when looking at the copy. I'm a psychologist and have LP's for keywords like anxiety, for example, and people started calling wanting free therapy sessions by phone. NO intention of scheduling an appointment and getting pissed when informed that they shoud schedule an appointment. TL;DR: how to create a high score LP but not filling it just for the sake of maximizing keyword relevance?
Hey there! Well, what you’re talking about is SEO and ranking pages, which is different from direct response copywriting. If both are getting you leads, I’d keep them both up but perhaps you can see where people are getting confused on the long page and update the messaging to try to improve the quality of your leads. At the end of the day, you need to optimize your site for actual conversions, not dud leads. Hope that helps!
Hi Alex in India they have only one job ie content writing.. I used to write reviews for Amazon products earlier, now I am working as a content writer, writing content for websites, blogs, product descriptions, sales letters... don't u think things are messed up? I am learning copy writing from you, I read Neil Patel's blogs... I really feel I am gonna lose my original style of writing. The more I read about it or watch ur videos... the more my writing becomes like that.... any suggestions?
Yes - remember to use what you're learning a baseline! It's not gospel, and not meant to be followed exactly or copied. You take the frameworks and expand upon them using your own tone and style :)
@Hafiz Umar divide the problem into smaller steps and figure each of them out individually. If they can't be figured out individually that means you gotta divide them into even smaller steps.
@Hafiz Umar I'm a freelance copywriter. I started as an intern in a shitty, small tech company where I worked as the media/PR/community/content writing guy. There I made myself indispensable and gained expertise. I used that expertise and experience to change job when the opportunity arose. Now I make around 4k euros a month working for a few clients. I started 8 years ago. You don't need to pay anyone anything, just study and practice.
Hey Alex, I have a question. What programs do you use to create copy in? Like creating a homepage or landing page with more accuracy than developing it in word after finishing creating it on paper.
I use Google Drive to write copy in. Then I use lead pages to build landing pages, and WordPress for my homepage. Although I’ve heard great things about square space too! And click funnels is great too for full funnels.
@@AlexCattoni Thank you Alex! I will try it out! Keep posting great videos, I learned a lot from you and I appreciate your dedication to teach us, your follwers, about this amazing skill. Again, Thank you very much!
Maybe that just means you need to STOP watching *more* videos and instead start practicing what you've already learned :) there is such a thing as information overload -- so take it easy on yourself!
I enjoyed the content of your video very much. You're an engaging presenter and the video is high quality. I'm excited to see what else your channel has to offer. The discordant music was very distracting and hard to listen to, however. I'm hoping it's not in all your videos.
I love your videos. But the background music is sooooooooooooo....... Distracting! It's hard to listen. And believe me I'm a keen listener. Please get some feedback to see how others feel. Videos with music are @%$%%^& frustrating. Otherwise your content is great! Thank you
Alex.... Do you think it is alright to offer Content first and then add on Copywriting as you learn? Or do you believe that isn't as lucrative? I have experience all over the board- Spiritual, Alternative Therapies, Personal Training & Weight loss, along with Expert Healthcare IT Applications Support/ Training and Project Management. Oh!!! add.. BOY. MOM.
Robos cannot write "yet" may be in the next couple of years something like blackbox comes out.. 😝 ? Is copy writing gonna die 😱 ? Shld you learn copy writing ?🕵 Alex people wanna knw the answrr?
As someone with a formal writing and english degree, I don't completely agree with your statement that in order to be a good copywriter, we have to "unlearn" what we spent four years perfecting. A writing or english degree is not just learning grammar and spelling. Something that I really relate to and understand on a deep level is the importance of research to create good copy--it's the exact same concept when you're writing a paper on a shakespearean play. You have to research your source material, research your audience, and research outside sources in order to build your argument, which is essentially the "call to action." Furthermore, the idea that writing short, concise, and effective copy taking a much longer time than writing long-form content is the EXACT same thing I learned studying my degree. Learning to communicate effectively through the written word emphasized the importance of writing as concisely as possible because that is the most effective way to gain your audience's attention--which takes a hell of a long time, just as you said. That is what rhetoric is all about. It's about linking together persuasive strategies to create compelling and effective rhetoric for your audience.
Hey there! Wow, thank you so much for the thoughtful comment! I love your feedback. And you're right. Maybe "unlearn' was the wrong word. Maybe "re-calibrate" is more appropriate. I'm speaking only from my experience. Many writers I've worked with who come from a formal writing background have found it hard to really nail the informal/conversational and, frankly, painfully simple tone of copywriting. With that being said, there is a TON of overlap, as you pointed out, and your experience absolutely does put you at an advantage. It's just not necessary in order to be a copywriter :) Thank you again for your thoughtful comment. I deeply respect your opinion and insight.
@@AlexCattoni well yeah but for some of us it's too frustrating to listen the whole backstory. i didn't clicked on the video to listen that story i just want what the title of this video says so please go straight to the point, It really bothers a lot of us and it's not just you thousand of others creators do this also but now some creators are starting to understand this like MRWHOSETHEBOSS who just tell us what we want to listen. i like you and your content a lot but this ...
Hi Alex, my contract for my job is ending soon and they offered me something that I can not take. I’m going to start my copywriting business instead...I will be watching all of your videos to help guide me along the way. Thank you for sharing your knowledge. Cheers to getting out of the rat race.

Bonus points for using Bubbles in the video!
English was one of my strongest subjects in school, however I fn hated writing 5 page essays. Such a waste of time and boy was it time consuming. But copywriting is different because I can do simple things like Social media post, emailing, etc.
Totally! And make money doing it lol.
Amen on the Editing thing. Oh wow, I have spent so much time trying to give suggestions to someone's copy without just totally re-writing.
If I ever get clients that believes any of these myths, i'll slap them right in the face with this video. Thanks Alex!
😂😂😂 you’re welcome!
Hey Alex ,
Are you planning to launch a copywriting bootcamp , your videos are very helpful and it may help us to fully learn copywriting .
your videos are amazing and your eyes too.
Thanks for sharing your experience and lots more stuff which is really new to me.
Yes be not afraid to make mistakes, to improve our craft.
This video was great.
I am a freelance content writer from India and I do watch your videos.
2 months back, I got an Indian client and offered me copywriting. Though I had never done copywriting and didn't even mentioned in my LinkedIn.
It was my first copy I had ever written and it took me 1 and half day of research and 2 hours of writing.

I am watching your video because I am learning english and I am practicing my listening.
I like your video
Cool!! Thanks :D
Hey Alex! You explain everything really very well. I am on my way to watch all of your videos.

Awesome! Thanks for being here ⚡️
Thanks Alex. Your presentation is very good.
Very helpful video ❤️
Very Nice
N.D Commerce thanks!
tell us your stories please! How did you get in? Where did you travel? (I left toronto in 2001 to teach abroad, taiwan, and have had a great time, but teaching, well, it's over for me. I"m studying copywriting and marketing in general.)
Haha I lived in Vienna for a year, then Malaysia for 3.5 years!
I've heard that it is best to use your name as your business name when starting a copywriting business. Do you think it is better to use your name or come up with some creative business name? My name is more common than I thought it would be and when I Google my name, another person who also happens to be a writer comes up so I am wondering what I should do. Thanks and Happy Holidays!
Hmm. I don't have a strong opinion about either or. But using your name makes it a lot easier to pivot to something different in the future, if you decide to. With that being said, if you use a pen name, or a brand name that's more universal, that allows you to pivot as well as differentiate. If another writer has you name I'd definitely do something different. Happy Holidays!!
Thanks Alex.

@Hafiz Umar divide the problem into smaller steps and figure each of them out individually. If they can't be figured out individually that means you gotta divide them into even smaller steps.
@Hafiz Umar I'm a freelance copywriter. I started as an intern in a shitty, small tech company where I worked as the media/PR/community/content writing guy. There I made myself indispensable and gained expertise. I used that expertise and experience to change job when the opportunity arose. Now I make around 4k euros a month working for a few clients. I started 8 years ago. You don't need to pay anyone anything, just study and practice.
@Hafiz Umar No, I wouldn't. By the way, you don't need me. You don't need 'networking' at this stage.
Hey Alex, I have a question. What programs do you use to create copy in? Like creating a homepage or landing page with more accuracy than developing it in word after finishing creating it on paper.
I use Google Drive to write copy in. Then I use lead pages to build landing pages, and WordPress for my homepage. Although I’ve heard great things about square space too! And click funnels is great too for full funnels.
@@AlexCattoni Thank you Alex! I will try it out! Keep posting great videos, I learned a lot from you and I appreciate your dedication to teach us, your follwers, about this amazing skill. Again, Thank you very much!
The more videos I watch about copywriting the more confused I get. I think I won't quit my daytime job after all....
Maybe that just means you need to STOP watching *more* videos and instead start practicing what you've already learned :) there is such a thing as information overload -- so take it easy on yourself!
I enjoyed the content of your video very much. You're an engaging presenter and the video is high quality. I'm excited to see what else your channel has to offer. The discordant music was very distracting and hard to listen to, however. I'm hoping it's not in all your videos.
Good feedback, thank you Meg!!
With due respect, should I watch you or listen to your words??Because you are so beautiful. Its very difficult to focus on your words.
Clearly you should listen!! Appreciate the compliment though :)
I love your videos. But the background music is sooooooooooooo....... Distracting! It's hard to listen. And believe me I'm a keen listener. Please get some feedback to see how others feel. Videos with music are @%$%%^& frustrating. Otherwise your content is great! Thank you
Thanks for the feedback!
Alex.... Do you think it is alright to offer Content first and then add on Copywriting as you learn? Or do you believe that isn't as lucrative? I have experience all over the board- Spiritual, Alternative Therapies, Personal Training & Weight loss, along with Expert Healthcare IT Applications Support/ Training and Project Management. Oh!!! add.. BOY. MOM.
Oh and thank you so much for all of this valuable content!
Hey girl! I definitely think you can start in content first, then pivot to copywriting for sure!

@@AlexCattoni ✌✌✌😁
editing is a nightmare.
As someone with a formal writing and english degree, I don't completely agree with your statement that in order to be a good copywriter, we have to "unlearn" what we spent four years perfecting. A writing or english degree is not just learning grammar and spelling. Something that I really relate to and understand on a deep level is the importance of research to create good copy--it's the exact same concept when you're writing a paper on a shakespearean play. You have to research your source material, research your audience, and research outside sources in order to build your argument, which is essentially the "call to action." Furthermore, the idea that writing short, concise, and effective copy taking a much longer time than writing long-form content is the EXACT same thing I learned studying my degree. Learning to communicate effectively through the written word emphasized the importance of writing as concisely as possible because that is the most effective way to gain your audience's attention--which takes a hell of a long time, just as you said. That is what rhetoric is all about. It's about linking together persuasive strategies to create compelling and effective rhetoric for your audience.
Hey there! Wow, thank you so much for the thoughtful comment! I love your feedback. And you're right. Maybe "unlearn' was the wrong word. Maybe "re-calibrate" is more appropriate. I'm speaking only from my experience. Many writers I've worked with who come from a formal writing background have found it hard to really nail the informal/conversational and, frankly, painfully simple tone of copywriting. With that being said, there is a TON of overlap, as you pointed out, and your experience absolutely does put you at an advantage. It's just not necessary in order to be a copywriter :) Thank you again for your thoughtful comment. I deeply respect your opinion and insight.
Mmm you're such a beautiful lady..

Thank me later
For what?
Only a 2 minute intro. Damn that’s tight!
@@AlexCattoni well yeah but for some of us it's too frustrating to listen the whole backstory. i didn't clicked on the video to listen that story i just want what the title of this video says so please go straight to the point, It really bothers a lot of us and it's not just you thousand of others creators do this also but now some creators are starting to understand this like MRWHOSETHEBOSS who just tell us what we want to listen.
i like you and your content a lot but this ...
I do my best.
Get to the point... please
I did my best.
