Johnathan reminds me of a ginger Patrick Bateman. The loud hysterical laugh followed by the low, quiet, calming voice & demeanour just fits the bill perfectly.
Jonathan's laugh at the beginning already satisfied my curiosity. Also, Sean's reaction was priceless. Now, I have to stop smiling and focusing on learning how to build my portfolio lol

This video is valuable... Learned so much within this 30min video It's a big help for me as an aspiring copywriter Thank you for giving free game I am curious about the book now I will definitely have a copy of it... Thank you!
Hey Sean, I hope this comment finds you well. I wanted to ask, should I build my portfolio with some copywriting specs first and then look for clients or look for clients first while building a portfolio?
@@CopyThatI'm sorry to bother again, but I don't have any past experience with any client, so is it ok if I just put a spec email sequence and a sales page copy as samples for my portfolio, and then record myself how I did it ?
Hoping Jonathan recently moved into his appartemnt, because the state of it doesn't scream, "I'm a success, listen to me!". I kid.... excellent advice as always from the Copy That! team.
Hey Sean. I'm going to apply for copywriting agency and inhouse jobs. I have 0 experience, 0 stats, 0 testimonials. My questions are: Should I record a video of me breaking down my spec work copies and add it to my spec work portfolio? And if so, do I need to explain the customer journey, awareness and sophistication level of the copy, how big of an idea it is and how it COULD sell? Do I need to explain my research process for the copies I'm writing for? Can I just have 3 spec work pieces in my spec work portfolio? Appreciate all your work, Sean!
Of course you _can_. There are no rules here. You may omit or include anything you like, from spec pieces to an essay you wrote in the 3rd grade. The question you have to answer honestly is: Do you think that will help you stand out? Do you think that will adequately display your personality, knowledge, competence, and skillset to someone who wants to hire you based on your personality, knowledge, competence, and skillset? If you answer yes, I hope you are correct and wish you the absolute best of luck as you apply! If you answer no... well, then I'll just say that you shouldn't expect extraordinary results from ordinary inputs.
hey sean, I need your help! I Have a question: how can I go to a busniess and try to sell myself as a good copywriter while i have no portfolio and no testimonials but my self knowing and believing my copy work thank you for taking your time
We have a whole video about selling yourself: th-cam.com/video/0aoR6cFM66M/w-d-xo.html But why don't you have a portfolio? Write some spec and practice pieces. Turn your belief into reality and SHOW what you're capable of producing.
@@CopyThat thank you so much for replying. I intend to apply very soon. Btw, I used your videos from the 'Copywriting 101' playlist to get spec piece ideas. So thanks for that as well.
He ran a launch promotion for it, during which time it was priced iirc around $5. Amazon has a very elaborate subgenre and category system, and for a lot of categories you only need a few hundred or even only a few dozen sales to rise to the best seller rank in that category.
Building a portfolio--assembling your sample pieces in a coherent way to show off--is the subject of this video. Writing practice and sample pieces for your portfolio is the subject of another video.

Quick question, though: what mockup software/tool is being used for the funnel strategy at 17:22?
I believe that is Funnelytics, if I recall correctly!
Bro I literally was looking for this right now
Hey Sean, I hope this comment finds you well. I wanted to ask, should I build my portfolio with some copywriting specs first and then look for clients or look for clients first while building a portfolio?
Specs first! Get practice and make it easier for clients to hire you.
@@CopyThat Thanks Sean, I knew I could rely on you, have a good day man
@@CopyThatI'm sorry to bother again, but I don't have any past experience with any client, so is it ok if I just put a spec email sequence and a sales page copy as samples for my portfolio, and then record myself how I did it ?
Jonathan's laugh is hilarious 😂😂

Hey how did this work out
Very valuable video thanks! But his laugh is very scary haha
Between his laugh and my face I'm pretty sure we have the number 1 grossing horror movie of 2023 on our hands.
@@CopyThat lmao
A beginner may not have the stats and results?
How to convince the prospect in such case?
Hey Sean, thanks for the awesome content. But would you mind adding subtitles in your videos?? Thanks!! 😊😊
Do I need to learn to design a sales page as a copywriter or just focus on writing good copies?
You do not need to learn design as a copywriter. It helps, but you don't need it.
@@CopyThat , thanks alot mate🌞
hey sean, I need your help!
I Have a question: how can I go to a busniess and try to sell myself as a good copywriter
while i have no portfolio and no testimonials but my self knowing and believing my copy work
thank you for taking your time
We have a whole video about selling yourself: th-cam.com/video/0aoR6cFM66M/w-d-xo.html
But why don't you have a portfolio? Write some spec and practice pieces. Turn your belief into reality and SHOW what you're capable of producing.
bros laugh Is pure cash
Hey Sean, quick question. Can I apply to an agency with just spec pieces or do I HAVE to go freelance and get actual clients beforehand?
You absolutely can apply with just spec pieces
@@CopyThat thank you so much for replying. I intend to apply very soon. Btw, I used your videos from the 'Copywriting 101' playlist to get spec piece ideas. So thanks for that as well.
19:20
His laugh keeps making me jump.
i love his laugh so much
Why is his book not available anymore?
I just checked: it is still available. It might be a regional restriction.
7:42 he laughs exactly like jeff bezos lol
Can it be effective to make fake testimonials since I am a beginner and I have zero experience when it comes to having clients
We strongly suggest you do not do this.
Jonathan: 🤣🤣🤣🤣 also Jonathan 0.8 seconds later: 🗿🗿
Nice
I just had to ask. Why does he laugh that way though? Like a sort of coping mechanism for awkward silences? No hate.. Just curious.
This guy's book only has 39 ratings on amazon (plus, it's only an e-book, and he want's $50). How is it a "best seller"?
He ran a launch promotion for it, during which time it was priced iirc around $5. Amazon has a very elaborate subgenre and category system, and for a lot of categories you only need a few hundred or even only a few dozen sales to rise to the best seller rank in that category.
How is this relevant to beginners? How Can I begin with the actual work to PUT IN THE portfolio? It's just a 20 min long portfolio showoff.
Building a portfolio--assembling your sample pieces in a coherent way to show off--is the subject of this video.
Writing practice and sample pieces for your portfolio is the subject of another video.
Jonathan laugh is kinda creepy somehow 😅
th-cam.com/video/9ocQKrJIHfM/w-d-xo.html
He laughs like a billionaire
U guys confused me
When carrot top decides to write copy ....smh
