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.
