    Wow, my insecurities don't seem so insecure anymore. I swear Alex, with the way you break things down to the my.....nute, you make this whole copywriting thing seem easier and easier with every video. Thanks a million.

    Eric, my friend who got a Bachelor's degree in Business Administration - and ended up as VP of the company at 29 - would love this.
    He had no fancy life growing up, he didn't go to a fancy school (he went to a state school on a scholarship) but he made his own life anyway.

      Without him here, I have no idea where to begin. We both lived in NYC. He told me about schedule C. He used to love talking about this stuff. I was totally bored because I thought it had nothing to do with me then. The 1040 form was hard enough.

    Thanks for the video ! Your notebook tool is basically agile project management method by hand. I do it digitally and even though I procrastinated to get started … now I’m so glad that I’m using it… it’s the best way to get work done and stay organized 💪🏼

    Hey Alex.
    Great video. It's about time too.
    When I started my freelance career, I was carried away by thoughts of working for myself and making great money (and all the other freelancing perks) ... and it wasn't yet REAL to me that I'd be running an actual business.
    As you move forward, you realize that there are critical things you CAN'T ignore.
    You have to establish clear and effective processes, systems, and documentation that ensure your business runs smoothly-- and is every bit as rewarding as you need it to be.
    Yep, it can hamper your excitement a little bit, but it's all for the best.
    Or else, you'll suffer.
    QUESTION: Alex, where do you get your GIFS and mini footages from, if you don't mind me asking?

    The moment you begin business, is the moment you're exposed to being potentially sued as a business. Even if you're losing money, you want to separate yourself as a person from your business by legal entity. If there's no barrier, all your assets (home, investments, wages, etc...) are exposed if you are chased down.

      What I would say is 1.) put a little money aside with every invoice to go towards taxes, and 2.) STAY ORGANIZED

    Is email marketing the same as email copywriting?

    • @AlexCattoni
      @AlexCattoni  3 роки тому +1

      Yes and no... Email marketing is much more broad - and typically includes the strategy, planning, etc. that goes into a particular campaign. Whereas email copywriting is JUST the words included in each email
