    I started running this journey, not because of the 6-figures as most gurus imply ... but because it was said copywriting is the only way to sell as an introvert.

    Bro this video is saying exactly all the things I've been telling other copywriters! These copywriting gurus are just out here to sell their course. It's how they make $100k/month.
    These gurus like cardinal mason, tyson 4d, ben bader etc are starting to piss me off fr. All these mfers do is sell their course now. And every "free" advice they give you is to put you in their funnel so they can try and sell to you🤦🏾‍♂️
    If you're reading this rn, understand that you're alone in this copywriting thing. You have to figure out everything on your own with the free advice you get. It's gonna be hard, but as long as you promise not to give up you'll surely get it. There's money to be made on copywriting. You don't need to buy a frickin $4k course to help you out💀
    Edit: been like 5 months I made this comment. Came back because I got a notification about it. I would just like to say that I got my first client 4 months later since this comment was made. And I didn't buy no course whatsoever. So keep grinding guys, it's gonna take a lot longer but I promise you'll achieve that goal u aiming for. Peace ✌🏾

    Much needed video in this community guys, thank you so much for the honesty and this video. I'm 20 now and I started copywriting on october of 2023 and went down tysons copywriting rabbit hole. Luckily I didn't buy any courses cause I was literally broke (I'm from Sri Lanka and 500 usd was more than what make parents make per month combined.) Did over 1000 DMs over 3 months while learning copy and getting better. Sadly, got on a few calls and landed 0 clients because of that I gave up on copywriting for a few months since it felt hopeless. now I'm getting back to it again having understood the reality of the situation and I really wish this video was there 5 months ago. Again thank you guys for shedding light on this issue.

Sure you might learn a few things but you can learn much more for the same amount of money. I recommend buying Derek Johanson Copyhour instead of his course. derek's course is $497.
      Tyson charges $497 entry fee and $97 every month after that. Considering it is a 90 day program. You will end up paying around $690 for three months. Which is DEFINITELY NOT WORTH IT for the value in that course. Instead Spend money on something worth while. The new Copy That marketing course is really good because i went through sean's offer course and some other videos that were offered for free once during live stream. It costs $200 right now. So that is why don't pay that scammer any money. And also for your information he stole all the sean ferres course material that he now teaches inside his community

    I think what’s even worse is copywriters who are just getting in the game, who write for clients that sell “how to make money” * insert vehicle * courses. It’s basically circular marketing.
    I also don’t think there’s anything wrong with people who do sell those courses IF AND ONLY IF a few things.
    1. They actually have a lot of knowledge and past experience on the vehicle they’re selling. And they have good intentions/morals.
    2. The course / program they’re selling has everything students need to succeed. And by everything I mean EVERYTHING. Copywriting for example, that’s how to write, how to set up your business properly, prospecting, closing clients, client relationships, etc.
    The problem is that most gurus have none of these. All they focus on is Marketing and Sales, but not the Product. They sell the dream, but the products themselves are crap. And it’d be a very different story if they hype up the product, and the product turns out to actually be very good. (Hence why I like guys like Daniel Throssell.)
    IMO A scam is defined by:
    When the perceived value of a product purchased by the buyer, does not match up with the created value of a product marketed by the seller.”

    Although i am above 40, worked in agencies and knew copywriters who had average earnings, i was thinking about the credibility of those videos. I came to your video then after someone who looks like a scammer named Tyson with a 4 hour course, which had like 30 minutes of shallow talk, nothing serious, the names of people he referred to were just their first names, and they were mostly for teenagers. It looked fishy.
    Thank you for exposing them and yes you are right, they do say it is totally free bla bla, but when i looked in the description, they had other Premium paid courses. So they do tempt people with the free course, and then sell some ppl the paid course.
    Another point is they do make money from advertising, because those long hour videos are being watched, and there is an ROI on advertising, so they also make money this way here besides scamming people.
    I wonder why UA-cam isnt taking action with such content? where is their responsibility towards this content?

      Sure. Possible. Just improbable. There are a lot of hurdles between newbie copywriters and a consistent high income. Most fall short of that.
      > "with a course it's more easy to scale and less time consuming"
      Have you found that to be true for yourself? If so, more power to you. We hope our own courses provide this, but it's not a promise that we make because... we don't promise results.
      > "there are many fake gurus but I don't think all of them are fake."
      At what point did we say every guru is fake?

      Selling coaching is a way better business model for scaling.
      To get to more than a $100k a month, you need to think bigger.
      You need build leverage and sell a product - whether it's a course, software, or e-commerce. Service-based businesses can only take you so far.
      Selling courses can get you to $100 million like Iman Gadzhi.
      But to get to $1 billion, you need even more leverage and a new business model.
      And to get to $100 billion, you need to build the next Facebook or Google.
      PS: The market for courses and info is increasing by $40 billion a year in the USA (thats JUST the USA)... there would be a lotta millionares created in these market across the next 10-12years and as copywriters we can leverage that to partner with clients selling info...

      Alex I just got my 1st clinet for 1200/month (wothout a mentor, But i plan to invest in one now that i have money), this is my take... would love ur feedback 🙏:
      Making $10k a month with copywriting isn't some crazy, unattainable goal. It's actually pretty simple. You just need 5 clients paying you $2k a month each. That's it.
      "And let's be honest, if you're helping these clients with any of the following:
      long-form VSLs,
      funnel setup,
      sales page copy and headlines,
      email copy,
      email marketing,
      You're providing them with a ton of value. You're literally helping them make more money. Charging $2k plus a small 3-5% rev share is more than fair. It's a steal for your client.
      Plus, delivering all these services would take max 24-48 hours. So, I don't think making $10k a month or more with copywriting is that difficult.
      And that's what professional copywriters like Cardinal Mason, Ben Bader, and Tyson 4D teach you...
      And yeah, you could figure it out on your own, but why bother? (Its really stupid of you, especially if u have the capitalmto invest)
      Why waste your time and energy trying to reinvent the wheel when someone way more experienced can guide you?
      Investing $4k in coaching is a no-brainer compared to the ROI you'd get from investing the same amount in school/college.
      I mean, even Alex Hormozi took Tyson 4D's course back in 2019!
      My point is, if someone's free content has helped you, buying their program isn't a bad thing.
      It's a way to learn more.
      It's a way to invest in yourself and your future.
      So, no matter what Alex says don't be afraid to take the leap. If you wanna make a 100k you gotta learn to risk at least 10k. Don't be afraid to invest in yourself.

    And if there’s a goal I want to end up doing like the people that have been part of the Copy That community, is the first one you mentioned, being comfortable with that 20-40 hours a week with that 2k-8k $/ month, and also focus on working with the travel/ tourism industry, God willing.

      Hey, yeah it's almost one month since I joined the copywriting course.
      To my surprise, I am not as afraid as I was during the initial days of my course.
      Sir (I think I will call him mentor in a few days) is really putting his blood and sweat to make us learn copywriting.
      But still there is one thing I am sure of that I could have learned copywriting on my own but it would have taken a lot and lot of time and there are not many teachers in the market who really invest their time and energy for their students. And second thing is without a course you do 100% of the work and with a course also you do 100% yes 100% work. The only difference is now you get all the material from A to Z so no time is wasted in research and you have a support with you that helps you knowing where you are going wrong.
      Thank God, I am not scammed and today I am going to pay my 2nd installment.
      Tips before enrolling in any course
      Make sure the mentor is genuinely kind.( it tells a lot because people who don't know what they are teaching usually get offended with questions)
      Thoroughly stalk the mentor - his work, his profiles on LinkedIn, Fiverr,or any other freelance website, talk to his students (at least 3 to 4) if possible
      Pay fees in installments if you are still not sure.
      Trust your instincts.
      And

      And I don't think I have wasted my money. I can feel it.

      Few tips for any of your future courses
      1. Make sure the mentor is genuinely kind ( people who don't know what they are teaching usually get offended easily)
      2. Look at mentor's profile on each and every site.

    The irony of watching these gurus write is their copy is so bad literally anybody can write it in the time they take. Some of the stuff is so bad I could probably do it in 10 minutes. Oh, and they can't format or write proper paragraphs either. It always looks like this:
    "What if I told you,
    You can get RICH
    FAST and EASY
    from HOME".
    It's full of one line paragraphs and sencence fragements broken up with commas. A copy of _Hey Whipple, Squeeze This!_ will cost the same as one month of a cheaper course and provide way more information.
    This is why your channel is so good. I see real testimonials where people are saying things "After 3 months I'm finally making enough to replace my day job," and $2-3K after a few months is realistic. $10-20K like gurus suggest isn't.

(Big for us is 10k contracted retainers, he needs a lot of work) His referrals are the same size with the same budget so it's exciting to have the hard work pay off. There is a lot of ups and downs. I've had negative checking account balances, worked crappy jobs while trying to learn the skill, failed with outreach, had bad clients, and so on.

You need talent, marketing competency, and you NEED connections. (A referral system) Alex is correct.

      Well... have you gone through our free materials?

If you're in the rut of "I open word documents but I just don't know what to write!" then the patreon is not for you.
      So don't join the patreon until you're ready to go deeper on a certain topic--storytelling, for example, or cold email, or email sequences. You can just browse through the posts and see all the content we've put out so you can see for yourself what's relevant. But perhaps the only other reason to get the patreon is if you want one of the members of Copy That to review your copy (or outreach) live on stream and give you some professional feedback. (By the way, your copy is probably not ready for feedback until you've revised it a few times on your own.)
