What was your favorite part of Reem's story?? Let me know! If you want to learn more about the program that helped her start her copywriting business, check out the Launch Files: copyposse.com/launchfiles

[@valeriepasserini9416]

So inspired by this interview. I still have never been able to answer a question like "What kind of results justify a blog post that costs 1k? X amount in sales?

[@JDP88-j4h]

I liked when she overcomed her insecurities with a quantifiable solution/ goal.

Congratulations! This a heartening story for other non-native English speakers who are aspiring copywriters :) Thank you!

[@reemabouemera]

Thank you so so much Nenssy! This is so sweet❤

[@ceausurazvan5733]

​@@reemabouemeraIf you are not a native English speaker, the odds of you succeeding as a copywriter in English, while not zero, are very low. Write copy in your native language!

[@reemabouemera]

@@ceausurazvan5733 I respectfully hold a different opinion. :) I know plenty of non-native English speakers who've succeeded (including myself). Of course, you need to be at a certain level of English fluency, but once you're at that point, the odds aren't low at all - in fact, they're very promising.

[@fashionandfrags]

I just found out about you over the last four days and have been soaking up so many of your videos. I’ve been studying E-commerce and the term copywriting kept coming up so I went investigating. I wish I could afford the three thousand price tag. I really do! I’m sure it’s worth it. Sadly, I don’t have time to lessen that blow with only three days until launch. Wish you did this more than once a year. I guess I’ll take a skill share course, or a dozen, and see if I can do this next year. Hopefully, I’ll already be a copywriter, but I’m sure you will have more to teach me.

This is so inspirational. Thank you both! I’ve been on the fence so long… My husband and I have 4 kids, mostly young or very young - so financial decisions and risks are considered as carefully as time commitments which have to stay flexible for potty training and special needs kidaroo. But we’ve had changes closing last year that made me realize some risks you can’t afford *not* to take. I’ve learned from other content and copywriters, and taken less expensive courses from a few other writers but to learn from Alex And the Posse has been on the top of my list of courses to save up for for too long. Learning from the best - from a copywriter on the Forbes List - May catapult success into new stratospheres. I’ve just been scared of that I think, and have been holding off until all kids are in school at least a few hours… coming up soon. So, thinking more about it now to ensure we can secure the budget for it early.

[@AlexCattoni]

I fully disagree :)

[@nataliethome198]

When I see this type of discouragement. I just think. A person has to utilize ChatGPT. ChatGPT isn’t going to just DO the copy. Therefore the jobs and need of copywriters is still there. People act like these AI programs can run them self 100%. No people can use ChatGPT to help with copy. I don’t see how it would take away from the job, just make it more accessible to everyone.

[@dogegamer3288]

@@nataliethome198 What it will do is drive down the exuberant prices for copy. Instead of ridiculous payments of $300 an hour, you'll see things popup like unlimited copy $19.95/month subscription. Thus killing of the traditional models. It's a disruptor like uber was to the taxi. Can you still hail a cab, yes, but profit margins went down dramatically and so did demand. Similar to what this disruptor is highly likely to do.
