Hi Alex, thanks for sharing the useful tips to be a copywriter as a beginner. I am a newbie in coptwriting and starting a conversion from 9 to 5 job to freedom of working in everywhere, anywhere. It is also a big challenge for me to convert myself in a technical field into copywriting. Wish me luck on this conversion! Cheers!
Hi Alex, thanks for this wonderful video. I have a question, will the approach of a copywriter(beginner) be different in the AI era. If yes, can you make a separate video for this!
I am no writer or someone who is planning to write. I just come to hear to listen to this woman and man it feels like to just keep listening and listening to her like a melody.
I am 42 looking for a whole new thing in my life to feel motivated to and I been starting my research about Copywriting because I am interested in pursuing a career on it. Loved this info and this video.
This was such a great informative video. I generally skip a video if it doesn't catch my attention within the first two minutes and Woahhh I just watched a video of 12 mins. It definitely didn't feel that way. This is an example of quality content delivered at its best. Thank you Alex for all your UA-cam videos. Your smile always brightens up my day. 🥰
I am 4 months late to this video, thank God I found it now. I was impressed by the way you deliver about the detailed tips, I've been thinking of starting career to be a copywriter as a beginner with no clue what to do. Thank you so much, Alex!!
Is there literally *ANY* self-led job that *DOESN'T* require networking? I freaking hate it so much. SO MUCH. I literally have not started any of the projects I've been interested in because the experts are always saying "yOu GoTTa NeTwoRk" and that is the one thing I am trying to get away from. I've tried it before. It's literally hell for me. I don't want to socialize. I don't want to get involved with people's lives or ambitions and I don't want them involved in mine. I just want to do a job or create a product, put it out there with some marketing, and exist off of that. Why is that so hard to find? ;^;
If that's not for you - then don't do it! There are not hard and fast "musts" or "rules". Make up your own rules as you go, and find your own best practices. Good luck!
I completely agree. It’s so draining- i really felt like screaming the other day. Everyone always say to network And those who are saying get into tech- that’s a lie , because even the YT techs are talking about networking
Great advice and I think the point about niching down is absolutely key. When I first started, 10 years ago, I definitely had FOMO (Fear of Missing Out). I was way too broadly niched. Once I (eventually) niched down very specifically, my career took off. I see lots of new writers agonize about choosing a niche, some don't even get started because of it! You can always pivot - 100%!!
I've been writing since childhood but never knew I could make a career on doing something I love for free in my down time. Where do you recommend I start creating and learning how to make a business out of my writing?
Girl, you could post a link to a potato and I’d buy it. And you’re not even trying to sell me something 🤯 I can see your pretty incredible sale skills has contributed to your success. I’m super inspired rn!
‘You gotta write crappy before you write copy’ - I love it! Alex, you’re are amazing! I still study copywriting and I’m overwhelmed with the knowledge. It’s so hard to know what you want to write about and find clients, especially when you’re starting out. I’m lost :(
I hear you! It is overwhelming in the beginning. I would suggest you ease off with taking in "new" information and take some time to simply apply and practice what you've already learned. Good luck!!
starting is the hardest part for me. I want to learn more about freelance copywriting. If you are also interested in learning reply to this. i’m thinking about starting a discord server for any “like minded people” who want to start making money online and need a community to start with cause i don’t have one either.
Sooo, this is going to sound more cynical than I intend it to, but what if I dislike networking because a part of me finds it really fake/disingenuous? Like, I'm just going to strike up a conversation with this stranger over LinkedIn? Not putting my most normal foot forward (the side of me people are actually going to interact with), but my most marketable foot forward, _"No ulterior motives here, just two friendly strangers having a friendly conversation."_ It's a mindset that I genuinely want to overcome because I know it's not doing me any favors, but I have no idea how to actually take steps towards accomplishing that. Does anyone have tips or advice?
this whole world or "game" is like that. Everyone is fake and only out for money. Its either play along and join in, or be a walking matt and resource to others. It sucks but eventually society will collapse and the luxury and status driven mindset will be diminished.
Alex, I wanna be your mentee, I got your channel pinned in my bookmarks, i just stumbled in your videos and i actually first watch the 2019 version, Your really awesome, i love the way teach!
Thank you so much for this video, I’ve been focusing quite a lot on learning digital marketing and it’s been going well but I want to start learning how to actually make money from the audience I built, by using copywriting and maybe try freelance copywriting together with social media management which I’m already doing. I wanted to find out if my offer makes sense, I want to offer my copywriting service to online coaches and consultants by creating and managing their blog and email newsletter as a way to nurture their audience and increase conversion rate through sealed emails
You're very energetic when you do videos and I appreciate that. Just a small critique, could you please reduce the time of the intro? I think people could exit your videos because you don't start talking about the content of the video shortly
This mostly becomes white noise about half way through the video. Classic case of, "Its not Alex' fault, its mine", although its not a fault, I just need to accept that working on line, is not my forté. Thanks for clarifying this, at least, Alex...back to the drawing board for me. You have great energy btw, but you already know that. 👍
Your a good, speaker straight forward and easy to understand. Hope that i can land a job as a copy writer someday ☺️ thanks for the this very informative video ☺️
Hi Alex! Thank you for your videos. Im a newbie, an aspirant in the field of copywriting but realized through your videos that Im actually doing something similar to this path. I found some clarity and sense of direction in what I'm doing right now. I just created a personal website - wrote blogs and created images for my content. What's next? How do I find clients? What online community can you suggest for persons like me who badly needs support in this field? I really appreciate the work you do!
There are lots of ways to find clients. Check out this interview I did with Jay Clouse (tons of great takeaways!) ➡️ ua-cam.com/video/Jx982LVN3t4/v-deo.html

Thank you for this video! Love the energy and clarity! I am looking into getting started for the year 2023. Do you have any books that you recommend? I'd like to get as much knowledge as I can before I go full force with confidence.
Hi! I'm new to this channel (and to writing for copy) and I have a question based on something I was told. This question is for Alex, or anyone else with a lot of experience in writing copy successfully. I've heard that if I get into writing copy, I will be competing with people that have a degree in Marketing and/or Advertising. Is this true, and if so, why would a client hire me instead of someone with a degree?
Not necessarily true. Although sometimes, yes maybe you will be. Some copywriters do have advanced degrees but I would say the majority don't. Just because someone has a degree doesn't mean they are talented or fully grasp the psychological triggers that make copywriting successful. The best advice is to practice. Skill speaks louder than degrees.
It can help to give you access to more opportunities! But don't forget that there are businesses in your home country that will need copywriting services as well. :)
You're doing an excellent job ma'am I just loved it.❤️ (it would be much better if you speak a little bit slower for those, who are not native speakers like me😅 )

Alex is full of energy when she speaks. She is not just a copywriter but a very good public speaker.
True 😀
And bubbly.
For sure real live Legend
More like speaking so much to get the extra £ coming in.
And she's beautiful. Let's not ignore that fact. A breath of fresh air to watch.
Crappy to copy, shit to profit. As David Ogilvy said, "Tell the truth, but make it fascinating!"
Thanks Alex ❤️
Love that! Lol

amen brother. Kissing asses is exhausting.
your network is your net worth is unfortunately a saying for a reason.
You know what? you just made me realize good copywriting can not be copyrighted, it's damn original yo.

Hi! I'm new to this channel (and to writing for copy) and I have a question based on something I was told. This question is for Alex, or anyone else with a lot of experience in writing copy successfully. I've heard that if I get into writing copy, I will be competing with people that have a degree in Marketing and/or Advertising. Is this true, and if so, why would a client hire me instead of someone with a degree?
Not necessarily true. Although sometimes, yes maybe you will be. Some copywriters do have advanced degrees but I would say the majority don't. Just because someone has a degree doesn't mean they are talented or fully grasp the psychological triggers that make copywriting successful. The best advice is to practice. Skill speaks louder than degrees.
