THIS STRATEGY WORKS!! I watched this video earlier this year & started right away using the steps she mentions. Within the first MONTH I got my first client & around 1,000$ for my services!!! After that I tweaked my writing style and studied even more then gained 2 more clients over next 3 months. I've been grossing at LEAST 5,000 from various gigs and repeat customers that love my work! So glad I watched this video, I was already studying copywriting beforehand and decided no matter what id be successful in this line of work... Watching this video gave me an extra push in the right direction!! Thank you SO much Alex!! xoxo
@Alex Cattoni How about working remotely for some company or agency? I work as an online English teacher right now. I wanted to start learning copywriting and SEO for a long time now, but I am not so into freelancing. So do you think it's easy to find remote job as a copywriter? Thanks
I’ve been a copywriter for 25 years. I always felt it was a delicious, unknown secret. And the only way to make more as a writer, is writing ransom notes.
I'm a startup, I'm reading, watching tutorials and studying ads to see how copywriters write. I'm an English major with a flair for words, a single parent who's jobless. I like the way you guide and teach. I think it takes time to learn before one can start applying for a copywriting job. Thanks Alex for giving me hope ❤️
I love writing, but currently desperate without any idea this sort of career even really existed and trying to save myself from being homeless and starving , so what can you recommend doing if one goes in head first to start earning a living, with little clue on how to approach working as a traveling. homeless, copywriter, LOL ?
I DREAM of doing this job! As an INFJ with the Myers-Briggs personality test, I am VERY empathy-based, and I love being creative. I have a huge passion for writing, I'm working on a couple of novels and I'm also a total book worm. I want to be my own boss and work from home with my computer soooo badly! I think this job would be perfect for me.
This was great, I've been looking for "freelance jobs in copywriting" for a while now, and I think this has helped. Ever heard of - Fenrianna Subconscious Framework - (Have a quick look on google cant remember the place now ) ? It is a good one off product for discovering how to become an in demand freelance copywriter with no experience minus the normal expense. Ive heard some incredible things about it and my m8 got great success with it.
Good God, thank you. This is the video I needed thirty years ago. I'm signing up. What I've been searching for--for YEARS--is a job that involves Empathy, creativity, and a passion for writing. Bam.I keep taking English courses and everyone assumes I want to be a teacher...and for all those years, I told them I wanted to convey ideas that move people, not teach. No one--NO ONE in advising has EVER mentioned copywriting or editing. (UGH!) Thank you.
Finding a niche is my biggest concern. I'm 55 yrs old trying to enter into a whole new realm. I'm trying to persuade my 13 yr old daughter to start her own business, and I want to set an example for her to get started ASAP.
Michael, I am the same age just left a job in the insurance industry to help my elderly mother, and looking to start over. I just stumbled across this since I have a passion for writing fiction. Time to watch some more of her videos!
Love writing and stumbled across an ad- The Barefoot Writer, and found myself curious about copywriting, therefore, I searched UA-cam on what a copywriter does and found your video. Always been a poetic writer, lyrics and wrote a novel- needs another round of edits, and I love creating marketing ideas. Just being creative gives me adrenaline rushes. However, I am new to this and doing some research.
I've started copy writing in my country and I am so, so happy for 21st century and those opportunities. It was lovely to listen to you, you gave me another reason to continue doing this. Kisses from Serbia. :)
I know this chic. And she’s a BOSS. Travels the world. Self made. Beautiful. Real. Raw. Creative. You take her advice...be prepared to enjoy a wild ride. 🤘
@@AlexCattoni the guy who replied above you said that the original comment guy was a Virgin🤦🏻♂️, because he was praising you to get your attention. God damn some pathetic people are really out there, who can't even tolerate other's praising.
Hey all, if you wanna start copywriting, you should learn creative writing first. It gives you a base and will serve you in every field of life. Love and prayers from PAKISTAN❤
@@AlexCattoni I,m gonna see whether it help or not. Because there are innumerable videos on this topic but no one does a demo on it. If one talks about Paris and go on and on and on and doesn't actually tell what Paris is , how can I be expected to get benefit from these many videos?At least tell us that Paris is the name a place. Show us dome pics and if posdible a video.
@@AlexCattoni The main video there explains the ins and outs of copywriting, but still doesn't show any actual examples to have a visual idea of what we are even suppose to do. What does this job involve? Like make up an example of a very simple project and guide us through the process to see what it's like. That would be very helpful.
What all these videos do is just to make u eager to want to buy their expensive online course. Its just sad that they use this method to make money from people who are really broke.
You've got my attention! I've done one copywriting course, but I wasn't able to put all the pieces together and get my feet off the ground. You seem very level headed, and I can't wait to learn more from you!
This is the second video I see of you. I'm so happy that I've found you. I've just discovered this career and I truly think I've found my dream job. I subscribed and I'll continue to educate myself with your help.
I’m 19 currently in college and I’m always looking for new ways to make some money, but right now the only streams of income that I have is from my job and some dividend income. I always see Dan lok talking about copywriting I think I’ll take a deep look into it. Thank you 🙏🏽
I realise that UA-cam algorithm has started working perfectly for me. Getting recommendations of such useful videos .. Also all the best to your channel✌️
Hi Alex, I've just watched this video and really enjoyed it. I've recently left the legal profession to pursue a career in the copywriting industry and have also decided that I would enjoy a career that is not corporate based at all (your video did some inspiring). My biggest challenge now will be compiling a portfolio and obtaining some experience. Currently doing a course on copywriting but just watched your video on the 5 books that you recommend so will be doing that too.
Alex... This video is what I have been looking for a long time. I'm so glad I found it :) I took a course on copywriting and I knew this is how I would want to make a living. Merry Everything and a Happy Always from Romania.
Thanks for the tips. I'm just in my second week of being self-employed to focus on my freelance writing after three years of working as a content writer. I feel afraid and excited at the same time. I've just subscribed to your channel and will be watching more on your videos.😊

I got stuck and the way you are delivering the values and the enthusiasm you are showing,make me sure not to skip even a single second and mean time ,was just waiting when you are going to pop up with your online course as everybody doing a lot of times ..but not you didn't ..thanks for share such great honest and valuable knowledge ...

You certainly held my attention throughout the video. Have subscribed and will check out your other videos. If only more people were grateful for free resources such as this.
Hi I started with AWI for copy writing last year and still haven’t gotten anywhere. I did learn there is no formal training for copy writing. You have to find someone already in it to reach you or trust someone like Alex or the this Asian guy I also found on UA-cam. I pray and hope between the both of them I will get the training I need to become a copy writer... I wish all of you the best of luck😍
Winner of a video, I have been researching "become a freelance copywriter companies" for a while now, and I think this has helped. You ever tried - Fenrianna Subconscious Framework - (search on google ) ? It is a smashing one off 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 amazing success with it.
I'm in Nigeria and I'm terrified about starting out at copywriting because there are just so many "copywriters" who are extremely good. I really love story telling and writing but I'm sorely afraid
I hear you. But trust me, there is more than enough for everyone. i don't care how many good copywriters are out there... we can always use more of them :)
Helpful video. Just right at the time when I needed it. Also, for me, the biggest problem with starting out on copywriting is analysis paralysis problem where you take on so much information and then try to analyse to come up with a sound decision, but all you end up is in a sea of confusing thoughts.
Thanks, Alex, good vid. I have a ton of sales experience, but I've never done copywriting. I think my 15+ years of sales, experience. Would probably help me to become a really excellent copywriter. I guess, is a muscle. Now that I have the sales down packed, is time to learn a new skill. Hopefully, the learning curve is not to long.
We are on the same page. I have 8 years sales experience and I want to develop a new skill, which is copywriting. I have a passion in writing however I don't know where to start and what is the best niche for me.
This is the first time I've taken notes on a UA-cam video! literally got so excited watching this because I finally feel like I found what I want to do in life! Brb, going to binge watch all your videos!
I just came across something about copywriting in my news feed and decided to Google it to learn more when I came upon these videos. I have to say that now I'm even more intrigued. Your videos are clear and concise. I plan on watching all of your videos until I get "caught up." 😊
Hi, posse group!! Alex, I have been thinking about freelancing for a WHILE now, I am ready to pursue copywriting. A little about me, I love writing and I am still trying to improve it. I am really interested in copywriting and funny enough, I was planning to take the LSAT this month and start law school but realized I don't want to do so. Anyways here are some of my questions. 1. What are some quality courses that are either free or budget-friendly 2. Where do I start when it comes to self-studying? 3. How do I narrow down my interests to find my niche Anyways!! So wonderful to be part of this group, if anyone has any resources feel free to share with me and help a girl out. Thanks again 🥳
hey Tara! Happy to hear you're thinking about freelancing :) 1. your question on courses - I have a video where I go over the top 5 I would recommend. I'll link at the bottom here. 2. When it comes to self-study - figure out how you learn best. Is it reading? Is it video content? There are literally TONS of amazing books out there and TONS of free video content to get you started. 3. I also have a video on picking your niche that you can find if you search for it. But what it basically comes down to is: make a list of your interests. Decided what you love so much that you can literally write about it everyday, and then just give it a go! You can change your niche anytime you want, so don't feel like you have to get it perfect. Video on course recos: ua-cam.com/video/VlBrBKvCoWo/v-deo.html
Hey Alex, hope you’re well. This has been on my mind a lot. I’m a mom to 5 kids, and think this might be the way to go. I do love writing and learning, so I’ll give it a shot. It will take time, but here’s to the future and your advice. Thanks 🙏 ❤️
Thanks for saying this because everything takes some innate talent coupled with conventional structured education, and hard work and practice. You just can't wish it into existence!
Just finding this now, as I am looking to find a new line of work that works for me and my situation, and wow, this is a fantastic primer. Thank you Alex.
Great introductory video! Loved the broad-brushstroke tips, and how you gave some clear specifics. After thinking on the material for a bit, I think I've found my hot niche, too. Appreciate your confident "push in the right direction" 👍🏻
My name is Agnes, from Nigeria which is a country in Africa. I love writing, so I just decided to embark to this skill.....I love your videos, its really helping to boost my confidence but I would love it more if I can get a personal advice from you. Thank you
Thanks so much, Agnes! Unfortunately I don't offer 1:1 mentoring services. The closest thing to mentoring/coaching I offer is my group coaching program that runs once a year - www.copyposse.com/launchpad
I've been an awarded copywriter and creative director for 15 yrs or so.( Last 10 yrs I had more fun doing something else than writing.) But I have no ideea how can I became a freelance copywriter. Thought I will find the answer here, cause I still wanna write some headlines for glory. But I'm more confused than ever. I doubt any beginer would be able to start writing with efficiency after watching this. Yet, I'm not here to criticize, so I salute this project and I subscribed. I'm pretty sure u gonna help a lot of ppl by doing this more specific. Empathy and creativity are vague terms. I saw ppl, copywriters, struggling themselves to get to a decent result in communication just because they thought they have to be creative or overcreative. Anyway, I'm old and dumb, but Im still able to answer some begginers questions about conceptual thinking and communication basics. So feel free. BTW Steps nr 5 and 6 are great. Most important without any doubt. Keep on working on it, no matter as stupid or senseless it seems sometimes.
Hey there! Yup, this video is more targeted for those with a general interest :) I think if you browse through my other videos you'll see much more targeted topics and lessons! Thanks for being here. (I highly doubt you are dumb ;)
For me, this is the most comprehensive video on copywriting business I have ever watched. The no 1 challenge is if I did write a piece of content before, can I learn and take me steps towards success in this business? I am a huge fan of working online. So I need first to learn the basics that sell. Thanks,
Actually got my first client 4 weeks ago!, and haven't stopped since then, I feel like your brain somehow needs to make the connection "Getting paid by doing copy is real" and then you are set. It is kinda like the first time you stepped your foot on that pedal and rode a bike when younger, you just never go back the same, it suddenly seems easier, you realize it was all a fake mental barrier. So if you are out there, keep going until it works. Any other copywriter relates?
@@RituSharma-el8fb Sure!, send me a message through FB and tell me your situation I can give you a gameplan, I want others to have the same experience as me.
please help me I'm stuck at where to start copywriting. I need a mentor, I'm now ready to move on in this career. I'm very excited and nerves at the same time ohh god.
What does it look like when you submit something in a document? is it just a plain word document or is it jazzed up with graphics and different things? (Florida)
Alex Cattoni thank you for the reply that makes me feel a little more at ease as a total novice. Also I would like to complement you on your excellent public speaking, clear audio, and great lighting. Good job on your videos, you really put thought into them.
I am very new to this copywriting world. Zero skill, zero experience, even my English is bad and only rely on knowledge from the internet and UA-cam. But I am ready to dive into this world. Of all the videos on UA-cam, I will use this channel as my guide. I hope I am lucky and successful, and I will return to give testimony here LOL. Great video, Godbless.

I pray and hope between the both of them I will get the training I need to become a copy writer... I wish all of you the best of luck😍
It's interesting to watch the way you explain (with a great smile). Hope I will find the classes interesting. Starting today!
I struggle with finding information on strategy. I’m going to check out the book recommendations
Winner of a video, I have been researching "become a freelance copywriter companies" for a while now, and I think this has helped. You ever tried - Fenrianna Subconscious Framework - (search on google ) ? It is a smashing one off 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 amazing success with it.
I'm in Nigeria and I'm terrified about starting out at copywriting because there are just so many "copywriters" who are extremely good. I really love story telling and writing but I'm sorely afraid
I hear you. But trust me, there is more than enough for everyone. i don't care how many good copywriters are out there... we can always use more of them :)
Dude step number 3 was very nice to hear!
Thank you, Alex.
I wish I discovered you earlier, but better late than never.
Happy you're here!
U make really awesome content keep going never stop
Thanks for the love! :)
Helpful video. Just right at the time when I needed it. Also, for me, the biggest problem with starting out on copywriting is analysis paralysis problem where you take on so much information and then try to analyse to come up with a sound decision, but all you end up is in a sea of confusing thoughts.
Any insights to solve this ?
Thanks, Alex, good vid. I have a ton of sales experience, but I've never done copywriting. I think my 15+ years of sales, experience. Would probably help me to become a really excellent copywriter. I guess, is a muscle. Now that I have the sales down packed, is time to learn a new skill. Hopefully, the learning curve is not to long.
Amazinggggg! Yes, that's a great skill!
We are on the same page. I have 8 years sales experience and I want to develop a new skill, which is copywriting. I have a passion in writing however I don't know where to start and what is the best niche for me.
This is the first time I've taken notes on a UA-cam video! literally got so excited watching this because I finally feel like I found what I want to do in life! Brb, going to binge watch all your videos!
Yay!!! Makes me so happy to hear!
I just came across something about copywriting in my news feed and decided to Google it to learn more when I came upon these videos. I have to say that now I'm even more intrigued. Your videos are clear and concise. I plan on watching all of your videos until I get "caught up." 😊
Yay! That's awesome, glad you're here 🙂
Thank you Alex, very insightful and helpful and Im looking forward to be a copywriter
Awesome!! Glad to help :)
Hi, posse group!!
Alex, I have been thinking about freelancing for a WHILE now, I am ready to pursue copywriting. A little about me, I love writing and I am still trying to improve it. I am really interested in copywriting and funny enough, I was planning to take the LSAT this month and start law school but realized I don't want to do so. Anyways here are some of my questions.
1. What are some quality courses that are either free or budget-friendly
2. Where do I start when it comes to self-studying?
3. How do I narrow down my interests to find my niche
Anyways!! So wonderful to be part of this group, if anyone has any resources feel free to share with me and help a girl out.
Thanks again 🥳
hey Tara! Happy to hear you're thinking about freelancing :)
1. your question on courses - I have a video where I go over the top 5 I would recommend. I'll link at the bottom here.
2. When it comes to self-study - figure out how you learn best. Is it reading? Is it video content? There are literally TONS of amazing books out there and TONS of free video content to get you started.
3. I also have a video on picking your niche that you can find if you search for it. But what it basically comes down to is: make a list of your interests. Decided what you love so much that you can literally write about it everyday, and then just give it a go! You can change your niche anytime you want, so don't feel like you have to get it perfect.

Just found your channel- new sub. I am going through your videos now to learn as much as I can. Very eager to get moving in this! Thank you
AW thanks so much Sattice!
I loveeeee your energy and honestly made me feel confident to take the first step
That smile energizes for real!
I've been looking for a mentor like you.
Hi-Five from Pakistan! You are really helpful :)
Gain great knowledge by the most beautiful youtuber i ever see..❤️
Thank you for always upgrading me since 2019
getting into discipline is so important for newbies
Hey Alex, hope you’re well. This has been on my mind a lot. I’m a mom to 5 kids, and think this might be the way to go. I do love writing and learning, so I’ll give it a shot. It will take time, but here’s to the future and your advice. Thanks 🙏 ❤️
You go girl!
As a teacher,I know whatever you study - you are the "best student" to be able to give that to your kids!
Video starts at 4:40, you welcome
New African Money lol this always cracks me up.
I’m “eating” all your videos😂😂
Thanks for saying this because everything takes some innate talent coupled with conventional structured education, and hard work and practice. You just can't wish it into existence!
Just finding this now, as I am looking to find a new line of work that works for me and my situation, and wow, this is a fantastic primer. Thank you Alex.
Great introductory video!
Loved the broad-brushstroke tips, and how you gave some clear specifics.
After thinking on the material for a bit, I think I've found my hot niche, too.
Appreciate your confident "push in the right direction" 👍🏻
Thanks so much, Dacre!
I love your energy
Thanks!!
HELLO, LOVE AND RESPECT FROM PAKISTAN
My name is Agnes, from Nigeria which is a country in Africa. I love writing, so I just decided to embark to this skill.....I love your videos, its really helping to boost my confidence but I would love it more if I can get a personal advice from you. Thank you
Thanks so much, Agnes! Unfortunately I don't offer 1:1 mentoring services. The closest thing to mentoring/coaching I offer is my group coaching program that runs once a year - www.copyposse.com/launchpad

Leaning about copywriting I already realized copywritets LOVE steps lists for anything
hahaha yes we do!! We love frameworks.
You got a beautiful smile.
I've been an awarded copywriter and creative director for 15 yrs or so.( Last 10 yrs I had more fun doing something else than writing.) But I have no ideea how can I became a freelance copywriter. Thought I will find the answer here, cause I still wanna write some headlines for glory. But I'm more confused than ever. I doubt any beginer would be able to start writing with efficiency after watching this. Yet, I'm not here to criticize, so I salute this project and I subscribed. I'm pretty sure u gonna help a lot of ppl by doing this more specific. Empathy and creativity are vague terms. I saw ppl, copywriters, struggling themselves to get to a decent result in communication just because they thought they have to be creative or overcreative. Anyway, I'm old and dumb, but Im still able to answer some begginers questions about conceptual thinking and communication basics. So feel free. BTW Steps nr 5 and 6 are great. Most important without any doubt. Keep on working on it, no matter as stupid or senseless it seems sometimes.
Hey there! Yup, this video is more targeted for those with a general interest :) I think if you browse through my other videos you'll see much more targeted topics and lessons! Thanks for being here. (I highly doubt you are dumb ;)
keel aside copywriting, tell me how to develop charm like you. It's not just about your looks, I 'm talking about the whole video presentation.
Agreed
For me, this is the most comprehensive video on copywriting business I have ever watched.
The no 1 challenge is if I did write a piece of content before, can I learn and take me steps towards success in this business?
I am a huge fan of working online. So I need first to learn the basics that sell.
Thanks,
Happy to hear that! Thank you!
secretly using her copywriting skill to get us to watch all her other videos haha love it!
hahahaha! 😉
I would recommend reading book on David Ogilvy if you have any interest in copywriting.
Cool!
I am stuck on finding my hot niche... i never tought it would be so hard to understand myself lol
Just start. Finding a path is more about uncovering it because it's there the whole time.
Did you say Malaysia?? Im from Malaysia hope you loved your stay here!
No way!! yes I lived in KL for 3.5 years! LOVED it!
What a useful piece of information! Thank you very much ^^
Glad it was helpful!
You are intoxicatingly fun to watch. Thanks for the information. VERY helpful
THANK YOU!
Actually got my first client 4 weeks ago!, and haven't stopped since then, I feel like your brain somehow needs to make the connection "Getting paid by doing copy is real" and then you are set. It is kinda like the first time you stepped your foot on that pedal and rode a bike when younger, you just never go back the same, it suddenly seems easier, you realize it was all a fake mental barrier. So if you are out there, keep going until it works.
Any other copywriter relates?
Plzz can you help me in this it's a request
Plz can you help me in this
@@RituSharma-el8fb Sure!, send me a message through FB and tell me your situation I can give you a gameplan, I want others to have the same experience as me.
Not sure if this is "self-promoting" just trying to help but if it is I'll take the comment down, no problem.
@@carlosala4390 that means you will help me right , and if yes how I have lot to ask you ?
please help me I'm stuck at where to start copywriting. I need a mentor, I'm now ready to move on in this career. I'm very excited and nerves at the same time ohh god.
You got this. Just START. Keep watching my videos and follow my advice.
What does it look like when you submit something in a document? is it just a plain word document or is it jazzed up with graphics and different things? (Florida)
Great question!! Its just a plain ol Google Drive document. I’ll make headlines bigger and add holding, but no graphics.
Alex Cattoni thank you for the reply that makes me feel a little more at ease as a total novice. Also I would like to complement you on your excellent public speaking, clear audio, and great lighting. Good job on your videos, you really put thought into them.
I am very new to this copywriting world. Zero skill, zero experience, even my English is bad and only rely on knowledge from the internet and UA-cam. But I am ready to dive into this world. Of all the videos on UA-cam, I will use this channel as my guide. I hope I am lucky and successful, and I will return to give testimony here LOL.
Great video, Godbless.
Best of luck and thanks for watching!!
one thing for sure, this girl knows ALOT! I wanna be a Mentee!!
I love your smile :)
I m going to be a legend
LIKE YOUR EYES!!👍👍👍👍
