Don't be fooled by the young "gurus" on TH-cam promising easy riches as a copywriter. As a 20-year veteran of the copywriting industry who has worked with major brands, I can tell you that their get-rich-quick claims are complete nonsense designed to sell you their courses. Becoming a successful, well-paid copywriter takes significant time and effort to develop your skills. There are no shortcuts or secrets - just hard work and persistence. While you can eventually earn a great living with the freedom to work on your own terms, it won't happen overnight no matter what the gurus claim. Focus on honing your craft and ignore the hype. Copywriting is a fantastic career, but one that requires patience and dedication. The only thing you can control is how much effort you put in.
If i work on copywriting part time (eg 10 hours a week), but using knowledge from these videos and the books you recommended, what is a realistic monthly income i can make from copywriting with six months?
@@marcusali1783 It really depends on many factors, most of which are out of your control. In the beginning, your focus should be on improving your skills and providing a high quality service, not how much money you can make. It's the wrong question to ask. If you want a guaranteed salary, then get an in-house copywriting job.
Thank you so much I was having a lot of anxiety that I am not able to get a client doing a day job and they are earning millions from copywriting. Love from India Mumbai 🇮🇳
Hello sir , Iam 15 year old boy from India, I came to know about copywriting few days ago and I have literally watched a dozen of courses on TH-cam and none of them were valuable. I wasted many hours but I think I can learn copywriting from you for free .... Cause you know it wouldn't be possible for a young boy to ask money from his parents to learn a skill that they don't know about.
So how do I know if *any* "copywriting guru" is legit or not? I take the point that most of the young gurus are probably lying. But older ones can also lie too, right? So how am I supposed to know if they can be trusted?
That’s why I make videos calling them out every once in a while. My favorite “you can make 10k a month with no experience”. Or “I made 40k in one month”. Found out when they say that it really means they made 40k for the client based on their emails and even that I have to question because they were so shady about making us think it was what they made themselves. Heres another one they say “come take my free course click the link below” and it’s nothing but a sales pitch for their paid course but to be fair even legit gurus do that. Aaahhh it just rubs me the wrong way. I make $500 a month as of right now copywriting on the side and my goal is 1k a month. I love copywriting and marketing and everything there is to do with it. I’m a creative and see everything through a creative/ marketing lens. And what these “gurus never tell you is when your writing copy your not writing to make money for yourself or your clients, your writing copy for the customers, that should be our core value as copywriters, to help people.
Hey, I'm from a 3rd world country and pretty young. So I started learning copywriting recently and have been enjoying the experience since then. Do you think I can get some potential clients even if I put extra 6 month honing this skill?
@@NukaEatsPepeni Who do they recommend instead? Who is legit? I found Tyson's YT videos leave out vital information, and they don't live up to the titles that he himself gives them, and they don't provide enough information for me to know how to get clients as a beginner freelancer with no experience.
Hes a grifter with an overpriced course that’s rips off from other copywriters don’t waste your time. Listen to Jesse and “proven” copywriters in the industry.
Is it true that copywriting industry is dead a lot of gurus on youtube is saying copywriting is dead and you should quit or you shouldn't even try because you're too late for this and they said it wouldn't work in 2024. I'm a complete beginner, I know barely know anything about copywriting and I'm lost and I don't know what to do now. Is it too late to start now.
He is a liar. I got into copywriting because of his 4-hour Course. People like his beginner-friendly videos. His presentation is good, but many people have exposed him with evidence. If you want to learn about copywriting, copy that or Kyle Milligan (copy squad) is better.
Can I succeed in this field if I do not speak English? Because I am a beginner and it is not my native language, I want to reach only 2k/month Can I or not?
Hey Jesse ! I loved this video . I work with entrepreneurs like you who have around 10k subscribers to help them to grow to 100k subscribers in under 6 months with Proven Strategies and systems which includes all the services from like helping you with viral content ideas , high quality editing in your videos , high ctr thumbnails to Growing to TH-cam Channel . I actually helped Chirag to achieve 92k subscribers in under 11 months . Could I do a free audit to see if I can help you do the same ? I just think it's really important that more people see your content and want to help you on that mission

This reads like a summary of my video
@@JesseForrest could the dead internet theory be true....? Are gurus on youtube bots?
@@nexusknight7 Well, I'm certainly not a bot! But there are definitely a lot of bots on the platform which is sad.

Hello good sir. If I watch your Playlist about copywriting, where should I start?
Thanks.

I am currently watching TYSON 4D's course. What you think about him. That dude comes with a ton of value.
I think he is legit
People on Reddit actually are against recommending him.

Nah. They are just trying to reduce the competition as much as possible.
Best knowledge
I just recently started watching Tyson4D so I don't know if he is lying or what
He is a liar. I got into copywriting because of his 4-hour Course. People like his beginner-friendly videos. His presentation is good, but many people have exposed him with evidence. If you want to learn about copywriting, copy that or Kyle Milligan (copy squad) is better.
@@jishnucopywriting
How is he a liar?
I see some people in his discord posting their achievements
@@jishnucopywriting
Did he lie about being a carpenter.
Can I succeed in this field if I do not speak English? Because I am a beginner and it is not my native language, I want to reach only 2k/month
