The $20 copywriting seminar that saved my business
Published: Thu, 09/03/20
Basically, it went down like this:
For better or worse, other than odd copywriting jobs here and there that paid little or no money, I got my real education taking on copywriting assignments only getting paid on commission.
No freelancing fees.
Nothing up front.
Either my ads made money... or I was out a bunch of time, energy, and resources on my end.
Kind of stressful, to say the least.
Especially since, I was dirt broke and only had a few copywriting resources. Plus, time for studying the craft was limited. I was working a job at the time, was also helping in a small office cleaning business, and my only time to study was in the car while driving to and from work and on my lunch breaks.
What did I listen to?
Was it the "usual suspect" crop of goo-roos?
Hardly.
I didn't have time for nonsense.
So I had to pick my "teacher" wisely.
Thus, I popped in a CD I had made of the legendary copywriter Eugene Schwartz giving a seminar to Phillips Publishing and listened to it over and over and over probably dozens of times per month.
This seminar is sort of a "legend" in itself.
I have seen A-list copywriters who were in attendance rave about this seminar, and about how it helped them compete against the highest paid copywriters in the world.
And I can see how, too.
This seminar gets deep not just into the "technique" of copywriting... but also the psychology of the craft.
Such as how to "think" like your customers.
How to structure your ads so people BELIEVE even your most outrageous claims.
And how one of history's greatest copywriters would sit down for just a few hours a day and hammer out one giant winner after another after another... without struggling with writers block, doubt, or insecurity — even though he was competing against the best writers on the planet (what he called “The Super Bowl of copy”) with enormous amounts of money & sometimes even entire businesses’ survival at stake.
Anyway, this seminar literally saved my business.
It’s easily one of my top 10 copywriting resources.
And frankly, I probably wouldn’t have made it without this seminar. There wasn't all that much advanced copywriting training around back then. And even fewer resources I could afford. But because of this seminar, I was able to survive writing ads on pure commission.
I was also able to pay off a LOT of debt, too.
(Including paying off my car — a huge deal at the time.)
But here’s the problem:
That seminar is not always easy to get anymore.
