    hi Sean I wanna say you are really a PEARL IN THE OYSTER! Despite little background noise you have brought so many secrets open that were deliberately kept secret by the people in the industry and I don't know why? your selfless and sincere effort is really praiseworthy.

      haha thank you! And yeah I knew there might be some issues with background noise on this one, but decided it was worth it for the change of scenery :)

    Hi, Sean! After watching your videos, I got beyond the starter insights based on my needs. I can feel how sincere you are for helping people to get their butts off of their sofas to make an exact action that seems so doable as well.
    Thank you! I wish you extra miles for all your good! 😊

    I honestly need to go back to the schedule for the dream work day that I wrote down forever and a half ago when I did the six day course and see if that's something I can work into my average work week NOW, even if it's just so I can wake up and start to transition out of fast food and into freelancing and possibly another job. Eating the food at work probably doesn't help either 😆

    Thanks so much for this. I would like to ask: Where should the writing samples be placed on the "writing website" or portfolio website? Is it at the Blog section, the About Me section, or the Samples section?

    Hi Sean, thank you for this very informative video!
    I was wondering your opinions on writing samples for "imaginary clients" in different niches and add those to my writing portfolio. Would that work in terms of providing related samples in a job application?

    Question though, I’m currently in the process of getting my freelance career started. How do I get writing samples when I haven’t written anything yet? Do I just make something up?

    I might be dumb but is there a difference between freelance copywriting and just copywriting? Or no

  • @assiahkramez4649
    @assiahkramez4649 ปีที่แล้ว

    I'm still confused about why clients wouldnt just cut out the middle man and use chatgpt directly? Or even if they dont do it themselves, wont that just devalue our work and make them less inclined to pay good rates, or just find someone that will do it for a lot cheaper with chatgpt? I dont know, I feel this doesnt bode well for us.

    • @d1ssolv3r
      @d1ssolv3r ปีที่แล้ว

      Because its writing isn't that great, at least yet. A good copywriter definitely has a more compelling style. They'd still need to hire an editor/proofreader which is basically what your writer is anyway. ChatGPT is great for brainstorming and vocabulary and some other things, but not a whole lot else. Content mills are banning people that use AI to generate articles.

  • @wheelsnwarriors7166
    @wheelsnwarriors7166 ปีที่แล้ว

    My samples are generally 500-700 words. I’m wondering how I get specific enough to write a 1500-3000 word article without getting boring and redundant.

    • @realreviews4017
      @realreviews4017 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      If it is something you are very interested in, by doing the research etc you might find it hard to not do more words. I did a course a few years ago, and some of the topics were really interesting to me and I found it much easier to find the right words etc if that helps. I realise coursework is not the same, however if something generally interests you, it will show in the way you write it............. that is my thoughts anyway.

    It seems to me the ultimate guide to do anything or the 10 steps to do something is basically all over TH-cam. Why would anybody want to pay for that kind of written content?
