EP08: How To Raise A Bloodthirsty Copywriter

High level copywriters aren’t born. They’re made. Consciously, level-by-level of building on a love of writing, a rigorous study of classic salesmanship, and a deep desire to earn the Big Bucks without ever digging a real ditch. It’s never been a brainless way to make a living, and the people who have sold copywriting as a get-rich-quick scheme are lying their ass off to you. (Same with the idiots trying to convince you that AI will replace all writers soon.) Still, it ain’t rocket science, either. In this episode, you’ll hear 3 generations of writers share how they arrived at writing copy as a career... plus how they broke through the initial challenges and setbacks. Probably the very same challenges and setbacks you experienced yourself, or soon will as you launch into the world of professional writing. Oh, you’re about to be regaled by the horror stories these writers tell, and you’ll see dollar signs in the tricks and secrets they learned while blundering their way through the early years. (Saving you the need to do your own blundering, so you can shortcut your success arc.) They also cover how to literally raise a young copywriter from knowing zilch about the craft... through the lessons offered at every turn growing up in this bizarre, wonked-out civilization we all live and raise kids in... and ultimately into a career where they’ll never need to have a soul-grinding J O B, slaving away to make someone else rich. If you’re a working copywriter, you’ll learn things the top writers have been hiding from you. If you’re still a wet-nosed rookie, you’ll discover tactics and insight that will zoom you ahead of even veteran writers. And no – AI will never replace writers who learn how to think critically and work the angles only humans are devious enough to know. In case you were wondering...
