[@027_manishdixit7]

Hey Alex! Thanks for sharing this amazing informative video for all of us. I just want to ask you that If I want to be a copywriter who writes email copy, homepage copy, about copy, and product description then will it look unprofessional to my clients? I mean I've heard a ton of time that you need to pick a niche and focus on that niche only, that's why I'm asking this question. And do you do only sales pages or mix-up of things for your clients? I'd really appreciate your reply!

[@AlexCattoni]

I don't think that looks bad at all! Sometimes it can be easier to "attract" clients to you when you have a very specific offer (i.e. I write emails for XYZ niche/business) BUT it's not necessary!

[@Rapindustry99]

Hey Alex! Thanks for this amazing video and I just have a quick question for you - How do you convience client and make them believe in your idea and opinions? I mean I was offering a service of about page copywriting. And when I looked my client website's about page, he had written everything about him and his qualifications but he didn't mentioned any benefits of hiring him as web developer, so I suggested him that I'll write another copy and you can use that one and can add your current content as a resume at the end of about page. But he said no and I know it will cause trouble in getting leads. So how do you handle such client who doesn't listen to you and they just want to get their job done. Even though you know that this thing that you're offering will work?

[@ataberdi2064]

Are you still doing copywriting? Learn to overcome their objections. Convince them that if they don't do they won't reach their dream state at all. Play with their deepest desires and emotions.😊

Hi Alex, I’m saving money from my unemployment benefits after my standard monthly bills are paid to purchase your program.

Hey Alex, thanks for all the helpypu are putting out from channel. Its helped me a lot for copywrting. And i had a question to ask as to learning copywriting. How can i tell if I'm making errors in my copy. Basically a feedback loop where i can identify any errors being made, and correcting them

Find a mentor, join a community, find a buddy, etc. These are all options to get someone's eyes on your copy

Anything worth pursuing is going to take some effort,but from what I heard about copywriting,even if you haven't been at this a while,you can make a few hundred or even a few grand each month.the veteran copywriters I'm told earn over a few million a year,but they did that 10 years or much longer.& This is without a college degree or any years of apprenticeship.
