Our Favorite Note Taking Nerd has set himself a 90-Day-Challenge for self-improvement, the goal of which is to make him a better copywriter, lover, citizen, whatever.

Lewis LaLanne determined to exercise each day, study copywriting and marketing material, drinking lots of water and practicing his typing.

I’d exercised for the day, I’d studied some kind of marketing/copywriting material, I’d spent 30 minutes on Typing Master honing my typing skills, I’d downed 75 ounces of water… and then I forgot to do some release technique homework.

He’s gone through over half of his predetermined program.

Lewis will tell you all about it (beware, some of the language is adult and NSFW) at his terrific site MyNotetakingNerd.

He’s got a lot of valuable FREE material on his site and I strongly urge you to sign up for his mailing list if you are a serious marketer.

I’ve probably learned more about copywriting in the past two years than in my entire life.

When I started in journalism, I was given the conventional wisdom of the times (this was late 70s).

Unfortunately it was the conventional wisdom of earlier times and is still the same conventional wisdom.

It is amazing nobody ever gets discouraged because the “official rules” just don’t work.

Studying people who actually make money copywriting is eye-opening.  You realize how far off the path you were. It can be humbling.

So here is an essay by someone who is up and coming as a copywriter. And please don’t think that $ 100,000.00 is an ultimate goal.  It’s a milestone, and probably just the beginning of the journey.

You can make more money as a successful copywriter than you can as a novelist or screenwriter — if you do it right.
