How have *you* personally studied copywriting?
There are a ton of different things I feel like I need to be doing, like:
– Handwriting ads (did this for a while, and it was really useful but time consuming)
– Analyzing/studying great ads
– Studying the market(s) I’m involved in
– Reading/rereading classics like Breakthrough Advertising (on my second time through, awesome stuff), Scientific Advertising, etc.
– Taking courses
– Actually writing and testing copy 🙂I only have a few hours a week, so I’m trying to come up with a small set of things I can do regularly to improve, like a musician practicing scales.
As you can probably tell, I tend to be analytical/systematic about this stuff. 🙂
I’d love to hear about what you did when you were getting started, and what you do now.
Thy request has been received, processed and…. accepted.
But, with a “twist.”
Here is what I mean:
On tomorrow’s “Ben Settle Show” podcast I will show you how to master the art and craft of copywriting 10 times faster than you would otherwise. But, I’m going to “rebuke” your question’s premise and generic-ize the info so it applies to learning ANY skill quickly.
(Not just copywriting.)
It’ll be up on iTunes tomorrow.
Watch for my signal.
