“Becoming a copywriter is darn expensive. I’ll never have that $1,000!”
Okay, I’ll have to stop you right there.
Why do you think that the best things in life come only with spending ridiculous money?
Your mind is your sword. You can wage it in any war. All you need is to sharpen it at times — at no extra cost.
You can do it from your:
- cozy home
- office desk
- metro seat
- lush backyard
All you need is to practice your art and get it read by honest people.
Don’t know where to start?
Look out for creative ads on street billboards. Star all the good emails you had to read twice. Tom Cruise said something funny? Write it down.
Combine them and you’ll rack up a 5,000 word swipefile in no time.
Reading one till the end is better than reading 5 copywriting books that is taking time away from things you love. Don’t force yourself.
For you, the goal is creation, not consumption.
Swipefiles are good for the next time you draw a writer’s block.
You can never be a chessmaster unless you move your queen.
Tighten your white hachimaki headband to keep off sweat from your face and start writing!
