Only one member will be upgraded per week. This week's winner is @Nishat Fatima who gets upgraded to our Premium tier.

What Nishat gets with her Premium membership: - Everything in our Standard tier - Call-free coaching in the community (business questions, copy feedback) - Instant access to all courses, workshops, and call recordings - New course, guest lecture or workshop every month What Wes gets with his VIP membership (because he was already paying for Premium): - Everything in Premium - Highest priority for answers to questions in discussion forum - WhatsApp access to Nabeel for coaching and copy feedback - One 1:1 coaching call per month - Complimentary tickets to any in-person events @Matthew Volkwyn and I host How to Win the Weekly Leaderboard Competition It's simple. Just show up and engage in the community. The easiest way is to “learn in public.” Go through the courses in the classroom and share how you are implementing what you learn. For example, if you're doing Copy Translation which @Alicia Joseph teaches in Copywriter Starter Kit, post your marked up copy with your notes. If you are hand-copying ads from our Legendary Ads Vault, post the photos of your work and write up what copywriting principles you learned from the ad. How NOT to Win the Weekly Leaderboard Competition Low-quality posts, engagement farming, and stupid questions. I actively delete posts like this.

My friend Joshua Lisec launched a new system for editing AI-generated copy. And it's one of the most important products in the “AI for marketing” niche ever created. David Ogilvy said, “I am a lousy copywriter, but I am a good editor.” But he's being self-deprecating here. MOST copywriters never get it right in their first draft. Several rounds of editing are required before a piece of copy is A, good enough to show the client and B, good enough to show the market. So if editing has ALWAYS been part of the copywriter's workflow, how is writing with AI any different? To every copywriter who uses it, AI is the first draft. They will always edit it before publishing. THAT is where Joshua Lisec comes in. He's a ghostwriter, not a copywriter. He's written 110+ nonfiction books. And he makes over a million dollars a year in this profession. His SIDE BUSINESS, selling courses and coaching, makes over $200,000 per year. I want to be like Joshua when I grow up. What I love about Joshua is he thinks in systems. He had to have done so, otherwise he'd never have been so prolific. His method for writing books is now a machine. In that machine is a system for editing. And this editing system is perfect for turning AI SLOP in to moneymaking copy. The other thing I love about Joshua is his practicality. As far as writing professions go, the ghostwriting industry has been the most, if not one of the most affected by AI. So he's matter-of-fact about it. He explains why in the video I've attached. He is The Last Ghostwriter™. That's why I bought a copy of The Best Way® to Edit AI & Re-Human Your Writing. I own several of his products. And I'll keep buying what he puts out. If you use AI to write copy, I recommend you get it too: https://gumroad.com/a/163724179/sopjqa Note: This is an affiliate link. Despite that, every word I've written here is true.

So I was telling him that if Nabeel doesn't package this course and sell for much higher later it's going to be a big loss. Because this isn't email marketing. This is email strategy. This is high level strategy to be honest, that's what it is. You know, because I would take some of the lessons and I would say, bro this is what we did today. And he'll be like, what? Nabeel is telling you all this for $50? And I'll say yeah. So after these live classes, I think it should be packaged and sold for $300, $350, $400, whatever.” – Richard Ottih “It destroys other courses. Other courses I've taken are either only tech or only copy. None of them really talk about operations, which is huge. And also as we're entering like the AI era or whatever, this becomes 10 times more important. Because that's your biggest lever for efficiency. It's not the copy.” – Keith Howard Note: I won't post any more reminders about List Boss. BUT… You can join our live sessions at any point during the week. So just have to upgrade before Sunday May 10th and you'll catch at least one live session. PLUS…

I no longer trade time for money.” – Keith Howard Hey, My name is Keith Howard, and I've been a copywriter since 2020 but I'm not anymore. I no longer trade time for money. And this is my testimonial for List Boss, which was the number one thing that changed my career. Why did I join List Boss? About a year ago, I read a book by a guy named Robert Greene, the book was called Mastery and it talks a lot about the importance of having one master. So a year ago I just picked Nabeel (Azeez, creator of List Boss.) I ignored everybody else. I didn't listen to anybody else's other stuff. I didn't care. I only did stuff that Nabeel talked about, and I actually did what he recommended. Including like hand copying ads, his style of outreach, I did all that stuff.

I put out this testimonial supercut a while ago. I need to do a new one because we got a few new testimonials since then. I've included them here and I recommend you watch them all before making a decision. FYI, these are all testimonials for our Copyskills community. But I moved all our resources and coaching to Copywriting Launchpad as of March 2026. If you have any questions about our Premium and VIP membership before upgrading, feel free to ask in the comments. What People are Saying About Copyskills (Copywriting Launchpad): “That's a lot of valuable stuff and the price you offer that for, and the fact that a lot of that's as well for almost free, you're adding a lot of value to the industry by doing that. I think that's very cool actually 'cause I think you could easily charge a lot more for this. That's a lot of content that a lot of people would charge a crap ton for.” – Matthew Volkwyn “ Copyskills is leveling the playing field with the education, the knowledge, and the resources you need to turn this into a real career. To find the clients you need to get paid a proper wage, so that you can take care of your family, so that you can make your dreams come true. And seriously, I love what he is doing and you're gonna love it too.” – Ryan Hunter “ I've paid five thousand dollars in courses I've paid five hundred dollar a month memberships And really the level of access that Nabeel gives is very similar to those. He even critiques your copy which a regular copy critique from a good copywriter would take you all the way from $500 to $1,500 per hour in my experience.” – Alejandro Martinez “He is so generous with his time and his advice. He wants you to get better. So if you can take a little bit of hard but needed feedback to improve your game and to get you more deals, if you want to learn how to write faster and better without necessarily having to become the best copywriter in the world, if you want to join a group of people who are just, just goddamn yummy, delicious human beings, just join Copyskills.” – Caroline Betz
