Hot Takes that may make you hate me for life: “Creative Strategy” is stupid BS. Its just copywriting for ads. People who say it involves more than traditional copywriting have no idea what good copywriters do. Making Content > Outreach to get copywriting clients (both still work tho) Affiliate Marketing is extremely underrated and generally sick, lots of sauce to be found in that space A plain white background black text copy-heavy website will convert better for you than those obviously vibecoded websites with AI copy. I dont believe in hustle culture. Its extremely cringe and performative. Id rather do deep work a few hours a day and live a chill & balanced life, that still runs laps around 99% of people… People “building” an AI app without putting a single thought into distribution are cringe, especially first timers looking for partners to do their marketing. Emails / Newsletters wont die, be careful of anyone saying “XY is dead”, they’re probably super dogmatic. Newsletters are especially underrated… Agree or disagree with any of these? Lmk Cheers lol

AI is the BEST thing to ever happen to Copywriters! Imagine you have a machine, where you input your skills… …and they get multiplied by 10x Would be cool right? Not if your base skill was 0 before! AI is only as good as its user. And if you suck at manually writing copy, you’ll suck even harder now But if you’re actually good and can think for yourself… …then it has never been easier

Copywriting has been the No1 best thing Ive spent my time on Not only because of client money… …but also because I’m able to write pretty decent tweets… And I’m building my email list from those tweets. I could start other platforms and use copywriting for those scripts I could become a brand owner and run ads I could basically do anything with copywriting by my side That’s why you need to learn copy now.

How to find your niche for copywriting: (5 different methods to try) Method 1: Do your parents have a job? Do copy for that niche, you have an unfair advantage there and they can probably connect you to your first client Method 2: YT Search History People tell you to pick a niche you enjoy. But how do you find out what you enjoy? Your YT search history can tell you what youre interested in, great insights Method 3: Chad-niching (I totally didn’t make that up) you basically take any work you can get your hands on, especially great if you’re looking for tons of work and want to diversify your skills, only doable if youre able to adapt quickly! Method 4: Just make up some BS Instead of going for med-spas, gyms or info people like everyone and their grandma…pick a crazy niche: Funeral Homes Flower Shops Car Repair Shops Urologists Method 5: Countrymaxxing This is kind of a bonus add-on. Because everyone targets the US. You’ll have far less competition in your local area / country. And you can implement standards from american markets, you’d be surprised how far behind everyone else is. > Let me know what your niche is and how you picked it! Would be super interesting to hear Cheers :)

4 Copywriting-Realisations I wish I had sooner: 1. You’re not as good as you think you are 2. AI doesn’t replace copywriters, it makes them more powerful than ever 3. You don’t know enough about copy if you only know the AIDA & PAS 4. Adding a unique twist like “AI-Enabled” Copywriter doesn’t make you stand out in a good way Whats a painful realisation you guys had?

How to make people buy your stuff as a copywriter: (bookmark this so you dont lose it) If you want sales, you have to align people with the belief that they want to buy your stuff. To do so, you can pull 7 levers: 1.  Logic: “This makes sense for me to buy because…” usually involves logical argument or digging into benefits (like all good copy) 2.  Proof:
Buying something always risks money. But you can reduce that anxiety with testimonials, reviews and ratings from the same avatar.
 “This worked for X other people, It  will work for me too.” 3.  Authority: Involve doctors, lawyers, athletes, studies… or be the expert yourself (personal branding).
 “If THEY say that, it must be working well.” 4.  Identity: Link the product to the identity they want 
“Eat Salad now!” vs “Return to being the Energy-Mom, who always has time to play ball with the kids”  (not my best work but you get it, sell the identity) 5.  Transformation: Always apply this one 
Show why their current way wont get them the dream outcome, and how your solution does: l“If I buy this, the Pain stops and I finally get to…” 6.  Emotion: Paint pictures with words. Make it deep!  
Describe their emotions better than they can, then they trust you have the right solution.
 7.  Urgency: Urgenvy only works if it makes sense. 
Fake scarcity like limited copies on an ebook turns people off.
 But you can always use these real reasons: missing out on the result now, competition moving ahead, limited coaching spots.
 Finally, my mission is to put out more free value than paid courses.  If you want to help me in that, follow me and retweet this! Thanks Cheers friend P.S. Always open to connecting, dms are open

Copywriting-Masterclass: How to become a dangerously persuasive by manipulating beliefs… Beliefs are one thing determining if you make a sale or not (bookmark this so you don’t lose it) Because “buying” is someone agreeing with you step by step until they believe you can solve their problem So copywriting is basically belief-installation. and you need to understand there’s a difference between beliefs and facts… Facts state objective reality: 
“23-module course.” Beliefs are a state of mind someone holds as true: 
“Courses don’t work.” 
“I need to track every calorie.” You can’t get someone to stop believing in something by using logic when the reason for their belief is illogical. See, throwing more facts at a belief problem is like trying to shove a circle into a square hole. It doesn’t fit! “You should believe this model works, look how much money they made!” “No, this is a course and a scam” See? It doesn’t work. You have use a way to handle beliefs… …and there’s two ways to do it: Schwartz (old-school): Work INSIDE the EXISTING belief. Sultanic (modern): STACK a NEW belief on top of the old one. Weight-loss pill example: the market believes “calories in vs calories out” to be true, and a diet still didn’t work for them. Schwartz:
“Your tracking was off the whole time because those apps are trash.” -> You stay inside their current belief system and attach the reason for failure. Sultanic:
“Calorie intake doesn’t matter if your hormones are out of order.” -> You stack a new belief on top that trumps the old one (read that example section again, try to apply it elsewhere) Which method should you use (stacking vs. working within)? Want to introduce a new mechanism because the market is saturated? 
Go with Sultanic. A new mechanism needs to work with a new belief Or is someone else already trying to install fresh mechanisms / beliefs and bullshitting around? (eg. biz-op) 
Work with what they already believe.. (Schwartz) IMPORTANT: Both belief-handling methods can work, they’re just different tools! There’s different kinds of beliefs: Identity is a hard belief “Im someone that has a low metabolism” While opinions are a soft belief: “making money is unethical” 
You can usually turn around soft beliefs But not hard belief, because they’re tied to an identity. 
Attacking identity activates fight or flight mode… …but identity is also one of the strongest selling tools you can use. Just link what they admire to what you sell. Wanna sell horses? Show people how cool it is to be a cowboy. Wanna sell a Chair? Show people how cool a life without back pain is. That’s the magical sauce. —— My mission is to make free copywriting education better than paid courses. If you want to support me in that, just follow me. Really, that’s all I want in return for putting this together for you! Follow me 😵‍💫😵‍💫 (trying to hypnotise you) Cheers friend P.S. my dms are open, hit me up anytime for anything, would love to talk to you P.P.S. Did I say something you don’t agree with? Im always open to discussions!

Ranking every way to get Clients for Copywriters / Creative Strategy: 1. Referals: B Easy to close, but you need good work done for someone else first, so not for total beginners. 2. Dm-Outreach: C+ Works if you send samples and audits. Copypaste spam isnt the play lol 3. Fiverr / Upwork: D Youre competing against people charging 5 bucks a piece… And people browsing mostly compare you on that price…horrible 4. Email Outreach: B+ Its a simple numbers game But inboxes are full of bs and the tech (deliverability, sender rep, lead sourcing) is a pain in the butt… 5. Inboundmaxxing (Content Creation): A A few tweets a day, super easy After a few months, you can reach thousands with the same effort as 1 outreach…just gotta stick with it Which of these are you focusing on? Let me know whats your favourite method. And tell me where im wrong. Cheers
