Copywriting Courses for Beginners

Copywriting is a promising career path for writers in the digital age. Average salaries for copywriters range can from $40,000 to $70,000 annually, and demand is growing as more businesses require web content, social media marketing, and other promotional materials.

Copywriters can also negotiate royalty or profit sharing deals to significantly increase their income, or use their skills to promote their own or another’s products.

Many with copywriting skills work as affiliate marketers, letting others do the hard work of product creation and delivery, while they simply write compelling copy which leads the prospect to the sellers page – if the prospect buys, the writer receives a commission.

This article shares the top online courses you can use to launch a profitable copywriting career. Whether you want to work freelance or in-house, the courses listed below will build your skills in areas like headlines, branding, SEO, persuasion, and more.

25 Reasons to Write a Book Now

March 14, 2014 Robert Schwarztrauber Uncategorized No comments

National Geographic reports that prehistoric dots and crimson hand stencils on Spanish cave walls, specifically the Cave of El Castillo in northern Spain, are now the world’s oldest known cave art. According to new dating results, this is perhaps the best evidence yet that Neanderthals were the Earth’s first cave painters.

If that’s the case, then it seems pretty clear now that for over 40,000 years man has been trying to communicate with others. Trying to tell a story or relay some type of information. Way back then, before written language came into being, it was done through drawings. Now we have words as our modern means of communication.

And like our Neanderthal ancestors, we all still have something to share. Here at the club our favorite sharing method is stringing words together to create some emotion, some change, some enlightenment in our fellow humans.

Too often we think with tunnel vision though. We want to write a book. But that’s often not enough motivation to cause us to begin the writing process. It’s way too easy to remain an object at rest.

So as additional motivation, here are 25 reasons why you should finally get that book written and open wide the doors of opportunity for you and your family:

1. To influence millions around the world
2. To educate millions
3. To raise awareness for your cause
4. To earn respect as a published author
5. To stand out among your friends and peers
6. To demonstrate your expertise
7. To have others pay for your “advertising”
8. To entertain
9. To leave a lasting family history or legacy
10. To offer something better than a business card
11. To offer as a gift or premium
12. To raise funds for charity and non-profits
13. To create additional sales revenue
14. To create automated streams of recurring income
15. To give purpose to your retirement years
16. To attract like-minded friends and associates
17. To direct offline clients online
18. To offer as door prize at industry, association or club events
19. To create prestige and trust
20. To create media and speaking opportunities
21. For durability, biz cards get tossed while books remain on the shelf as a subtle, constant reminder of you.
22. For personal pride
23. Your book research will expand your expertise
24. Your shared knowledge generates leads and sales
25. TO MAKE MORE MONEY!!!
