If you are just starting out as a copywriter, but are afraid of writing “crap”, then here’s how to abolish that fear and start making money right away — no matter how poor your copy is.<\/p>\n
Look, here’s the whole secret to getting over your fear of writing bad copy:<\/p>\n
Just start writing.<\/p>\n
The more writing you do the better you’ll get.<\/p>\n
It’s like anything in life. Nobody starts out being great at everything. And all it usually takes is a little “push” to get your started.<\/p>\n
For example:<\/p>\n
When I was a little kid around five or six years old I sucked at swimming. I hated<\/em> it. I was afraid of the water and honestly thought I’d drown without those dorky little arm floaters on.<\/p>\n So my mom, God bless her, decided to make me take swimming lessons.<\/p>\n At first I resisted. I’d act like I was sick. I’d go away and hide. When it came time to jump off the diving board, I actually climbed the swimming area fence and ran away.<\/p>\n Thankfully my swimming teacher caught me, dragged me to the diving board and threw me in kicking and screaming.<\/p>\n What happened next was a miracle:<\/p>\n I didn’t drown, I didn’t flounder and I didn’t even cry.<\/p>\n Instead I actually enjoyed<\/em> it. <\/p>\n A few days later…I was even good at it and looked forward to swimming.<\/p>\n And writing copy is the exact same way.<\/p>\n When you’re just starting out and you have that fear your copy won’t be any good, just write an ad.<\/p>\n Better yet… create a product<\/a><\/strong> (or find a product to sell), even if it’s just a little cheap one.<\/p>\n
