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.

People will believe anything they read on the internet.  Don’t believe me?  Then you must not have email, Facebook or Twitter.

The latest and greatest is the endangered tree octopus — a hoax that’s been around since 1998.  It got new life this week and is being used to show that the interent is at fault for dumbing down our children.

Children?

And I would welcome a debate on whether the Internet is more insidious than Fox News at dumbing down our population.

Oh yeah — and CNN and ABC and NBC and CBS and MSNBC and …..

American media.
