For people who've picked a niche and stuck with it, I want you to know from you guys...what made you commit, not just consider? I do copy + creative strategy, working mostly with web dev agencies (client project tickets) and direct B2B clients making high-stakes decisions. Been building on that for a few months but haven't formally 'declared' it. What I want to know: did you commit before or after you had proof it worked? And what almost made you switch that you're glad you didn't act on?

Hey Copywriting Launchpad! Recently, I gave everyone on the copywriting.org email list an opportunity to Ask Me Anything… As I went through the many replies, I realised so many copywriters right here in Launchpad share the same questions.Enjoy! ⤵️ “How do I get good at copywriting? “ If you want to get good enough to confidently offer your services and charge premium rates, you need to do three things. First, find good copy to study it. Break it down into structures that you can use again and again. And if you’re struggling, then ask yourself “what are they doing in this section, and why?” This way you will keep building a deep understanding of the craft. Focus less on research, and more on breaking down WHY copy works so you can replicate. (I’ve already built this for you in Copy Systems™ where hundreds of copywriters are enjoying clear systems to write every type of copy. But you can also just do it yourself.) Second, take action aggressively. Copywriting is like any other high-paid skill - it's not easy. Anyone who told you it’s easy, needed to sell you their course. You need to put the reps in. There's no shortcut around this. Also go out there and offer your services. The best way to get better is to do some actual work for a business. Third, get a mentor. Someone who can chief your copy, show you where to improve, and expose your blind spots. A good mentor can solve a problem for you in a single conversation which might take you months to figure out on your own. “How do I land my first client?” If you're asking this, you're right at the beginning of your copywriting career. The good news is you don't need to be a master to start landing clients. You just need to get good enough at one type of in-demand copy so you can deliver quality work consistently. So make sure you’re showing up like a pro with a clean CV & portfolio, professional looking profile pic, plus a clean appearance and audio when on calls. Then identify what sort of business owners you want to work with, figure out where they go to find copywriters, and reach out to them and their team directly (I share the best way to do this below.)
