Learn Copywriting Fast Tip #1: Know What You’re Getting Yourself Into

 

Know all the facts. Understand what you’ll be doing as a copywriter and start practicing those skills. Here’s a quick list of some projects a typical copywriter works on:

Learn Copywriting Fast Tip #2: Hire a Copywriter Mentor

 

The best way to learn copywriting fast is to find a personal copywriting mentor who can work directly with you. Not only can a copywriter mentor get you up to speed quickly, but they can also serve as your own personal sounding board. A copywriter mentor can read, review, correct and critique your copywriting work and teach you throughout the entire process. It’s like having your own private tutor.

 

 

Learn Copywriting Fast Tip #3: Take Copywriting Courses

 

If you don’t have the resources or money to hire a personal copywriting mentor, then sign up for the myriad of copywriting courses that are available online. Many are free. Some may charge a fee, but it’s an investment that will help you learn copywriting fast and jump start your copywriting career. Take notes so you can apply what you learn and always have a point of reference to build upon.

 

Learn Copywriting Fast Tip #4: Find Copywriting Resources

 

In addition to numerous courses online, there are other copywriting resources everywhere. A quick google search will yield thousands and thousands of articles and websites filled with helpful information and tools. Good old-fashioned book reading is another great way to learn copywriting fast. Learn from the experts and read as many books as you can and as quickly as you can. Here is a quick list of helpful books that can help you learn copywriting fast:

Learn Copywriting Fast Tip #5: Create a Plan

 

If you want to learn copywriting fast, then you need a solid plan and timeline. You can say you’re going to do something, but unless you set clear and measurable goals, schedules and deadlines, it won’t get done. Remember that a to-do without a when will never get done, and it will stay on the list forever. Plus, sometimes it’s just hard to know how to get started which is why having a plan is a necessity.

Decide how much time you will devote to fulfilling your copywriting dream each day. Block out time and assign tasks to turn your copywriting dream into a reality. For example, I will read The Copywriter’s Handbook from 8 am to 9am every morning this week.

 

 

Learn Copywriting Fast Tip #6: Just Start Writing

 

Sometimes, it takes drastic measures and the only way to start is to jump right in. Just do it and start writing! Stop saying you’re going to start your copywriting career and just take the plunge and make a commitment to start. Copywriter Brain is here to give you the push you need.

 

Learn Copywriting Fast Tip #7: Practice Makes Perfect

 

The more you copywrite the better you will become. Start writing anything – journal about your day, write a radio spot for your favorite company, update a potential client’s website. There are also multiple freelancing websites, like Upwork and Fiverr, that allow you to gain experience and get your feet wet. They take a percentage of your earnings, but freelancing websites allow you to start writing fast and build your portfolio. Exerting your expertise quickly allows you to learn copywriting fast, gain copywriting projects and helps to multiply success.

 

Learn Copywriting Fast Tip #8: Get Feedback

 

Feedback is a valuable teaching tool, and it’s free. Ask friends, co-workers, colleagues, fellow copywriters or even strangers to read your copywriting work and offer opinions. What do they like? What would they change? How can you improve? Criticism may be hard to hear, but constructive criticism allows you to improve. You can also join a copywriting community with fellow copywriters and get feedback from them as well. Checkout the Copywriter Brain Facebook community – a great forum for advice and sharing.

 

Learn Copywriting Fast Tip #9: Multi-task

 

To learn copywriting fast, you must be an excellent multi-tasker and juggle many tasks at once. A copywriter researches, studies, writes, edits, prospects, manages, markets and performs a host of other functions. The quicker you can perform these functions then the faster you will learn copywriting.
