    I'd say just look around the forum, pratice, and ask these kind people for feedback...or at least consider this method before spending cash.

    This guy is brilliant - the course alone is worth the money - then add in all the personal support and help he gives you, and I can't see the course being available at this price for long!

    I've just checked - you asked essentially the same questions on 7th November 2009 and on 24th Feb 2010. You also posted in the WSO I recommended - saying that you wanted to start the course as soon as you had the money.

    You have to actually take action - continually asking the same question, presumably hoping that someone will recommend a magic pill just won't work.

    My serious recommendation is that you find a way to get hold of $597 (borrow off a friend or relative?) and get the Paul Hancox course. He will hold your hand all the way through and if you work (not even hard - this man makes it easy) then you will easily earn back the course fee in less than six months.

    As far as I can tell that course is the the best value, easiest and quickest way to get a start at a copywriting career.

    but you have to take action

    You don't need to spend hundreds of dollars on any course at this point. Take a look at this thread and get some of these books from eBay or Amazon: http://www.warriorforum.com/copywriting-forum/52476-top-copywriting-books-ever.html Then, when you have a feel for what you're doing, start writing. That's all there is to it.

    And if you really want to be a writer, be one at all times. Look at your post. It looks more like a text message than a serious question. Start the sentence with a capital letter. Use proper punctuation. You've got the word there when it shoud be their. Do it right! Since it's a question, put a question mark at the end of the freekin thing. If you want to be a writer, be one at all times! Start developing the discipline it takes.

    One other thing, you need some talent. Without some intrinsic ability nothing you write will work. The talent thing has to be there. Books and courses can show you technique but you've got to have the spark. Good luck.
