Description

Imagine owning your own copywriting business

A business where you can charge $50 - $100+ an hour while working from (and living) anywhere you want. This is a lot easier than you think; let me tell you why.

Inside this course you're going to learn from two experts who walk the talk.

Myself (Dan) and Eric met while spending the summer in Prague. Eric had just left Spain and I had been living here for about six months.

I was really impressed by Eric's copywriting knowledge and he was blown away by the lifestyle I had created as a freelance copywriter.

I had used my copywriting business to live around the world including Costa Rica, New York, Germany, Italy, and Spain.

.

We combined our knowledge to make the most EPIC copywriting course on Udemy

P.S One last note. This course is very comprehensive and covers everything a complete beginner would need to know to become a paid copywriter, including the business side as well as all of the copywriting knowledge you need.

If you don't want to work as a copywriter, but want to learn how to write effectively and persuasively, you should still take this course. There are hours of valuable content on this.

And if you're already a great persuasive writer, but you haven't figured out how to get your first clients yet, or how to charge for writing, then you should also take this course. You'll have a chance to fine-tune your copywriting skills and then learn how to translate those skills into real paying clients.

Who this course is for:

  • Those seeking freedom
  • Writers who want to increase their income by offering copywriting
  • Those who want to learn copywriting, even if they don't want to be paid as a copywriter
  • Those who already know some copywriting, but haven't figured out how to translate their knowledge into well paid work

Eric and Dan know their stuff. Sage advice on whether portfolios, websites, and testimonials are necessary from the get-go. Enjoyed Eric's info on setting up a website for less than $20 a YEAR! I agree with Dan that setting up a writing ritual is necessary for success. Thanks guys.

John Campbell grew up surrounded by the energy of wise old trees in Northern California without realizing at the time how deep his connection is to them. It wasn't until the age of twenty-five that John sat inside an enormous tree with an open center and received the message: forget everything and write a book.


Since then, John has been deepening his connection with these wise trees and learning how to use their energy to ground his channeled writings.

I'm Dan Johnston. I'm a full-time writer, business trainer, and coach.

“That is seriously your life? You are literally living my dream. That’s insane. How can I do it?”

I’ve grown to expect hearing this every time I tell someone about my fairy-tale of a life. But trust me, it wasn’t always this way.

In 2010 I owned my own business and I worked like a dog with the dream of one day “making it”. I sacrificed friendships, health, family and travel opportunities all because I had to work harder for “just a little while longer.”

I just needed to “make it” and then I could I finally start enjoying life.

That was until my business imploded and left me completely, and I mean completely, broke.

At this point I could have taken a job, but it just didn't feel right. I had spent so much time trying to live my dreams, was now the time to quit?

So I decided to take one more risk, and in 2011 I started as a freelance writer.

The journey wasn't easy, but it sure paid off.

Using the same strategies I teach in my courses, I was able to generate a full time income writing within my first few months.

Then in early 2012 I decided to take another risk and see if I could continue freelance writing while travelling the world.

And it worked. It worked really, really, well.

Since 2012 I’ve lived in 7 places including Costa Rica, Manhattan, Barcelona, Italy, Germany and Prague. Each year I try to visit at least 6 new countries.

I’ve also crossed countless items from my bucket list including driving a Lamborghini on my birthday, learning Spanish, and driving a Hank Moody inspired Porsche 911 up Highway 101 in California.

When I was starting out and things got hard I had plenty of opportunities to raise the white flag and retreat...to turn my back on the life I really wanted.

I’m sure you’ll have the same opportunities. Ignore them.

Don’t ever, ever think going for it, going after what you really want, will be easy.

But it will always, always be worth it.

And I'm here to help in any way I can.
