Copywriting at No Charge - THIS Time :)

Hello.
I have a project for you, if you want.
Do you do one article, or more?

I definitely have articles/reviews that need to be written, and need your help. When can you get started ?

I"ll email you the topics..

thanks,
Liz

I want to clarify on what I meant by my use of the term 'copywriting'.

I have been doing article writing for a year now along with also copy for websites and similar written content. I'm not looking for that right now as my destination is sales copy.

The people I idolize are the ones that get ME fascinated: Frank Kern, Harlan Kilstein, Eban Pagan, Travis Sago. The guys that make me click and *have* to know more.

That's where I want to be and the type of writing I am looking to do - I want to get a *response* from the reader with my writing.

I hope this clarifies things

Thank you!

PS - To mllnsgrl & Americano and all those who have sent me PM's, I appreciate your offers and I'll consider everything as promised, but so far it seems to be articles that most of you guys are after right now. I appreciate that, but I would like to go more in the sales copy / direct response marketing direction.

Hey bro,

I would warn you that article writing, etc. is NOTHING like copywriting-- at all.

You might want to read up on copywriting, etc before you take on clients, paid or not.

Sounds to me like he knows the difference, which is why he's offering his service for free -- to see if he can do it.

Doesn't seem that difficult to understand.

I think what Wolf is looking for is pure sales writing - ie copywriting rather than content writing.

Thanks to those of you who have spoken up about the important distinction between copywriting as defined in the sticky thread in this forum versus article writing.

I've altered my original post to try and clarify since I know a lot of people may not want to scroll through all of the replies here.

I appreciate it!

I still think you should study up on copywriting before you actually do it... Free or not, you will do nothing for your name if your copy bombs miserably (which, frankly, there is a 99.99% chance it will)...

Wolf, I have a suggestion for you.

If you want to practice copywriting an excellent way you can test yourself out is to go to ClickBank and find a product with a sales letter you feel you could improve on.

Write up your copy and then format it as an html page. You can grab a free minisite template here to present your copy: MiniSiteGallery.com Free Mini-Site Templates & Design

On the "Add To Cart" button you can then direct link to the ClickBank checkout using your own afffiliate ID - like this: ClickBank Affiliate Tip: Direct Link To Checkout

Then you can send some traffic to both the main sales page and your own sales page and see which one converts best for you. You can keep tweaking and testing your own copy until you find your own unique way of generating sales.

Regarding traffic generation methods, just have a quick search around this forum (particularly the war room) and you'll get a tonne of ideas.

If you use this approach to test your skills you'll have rock solid stats to measure your performance and you'll get paid along the way.

I hope that helps and good luck with your learning process.

Kezz, I seriously owe you for that advice! I have been wondering if that was even possible, but I hadn't uncovered anything about trying our own sales copy.

I am beyond grateful for your tips (especially since you included the links to more info) thank you SO much!

You're totally welcome Wolf. If you have a natural flair for writing I'm sure you're going to have a blast.

By the way you can also get NVU / Kompozer to edit the minisite. It's free and easy to use.

Good luck!

Let me give you a piece of business advice, creepy picture with your shirt off is not going to help sales.

Well not having seen the first original post as it was originally written, I read through it now and then read some people's replies that mistakenly assumed that MisterWolf was offering his 'content writing' services. Well I definitely did not make that mistake when I read through his offer and I am surprised that people are so quick to jump on him to write articles.

This is a copywriting forum last I checked. Sure article writing may form a part of it, but pure copy will either be in the form of a Sales Letter, Direct Marketing Response Letters and other marketing communications media.

I don't look down on article writers, because I write myself. But there is a distinct difference between a writer and a copywriter. A copywriter is there to promote a person, idea or opinion and it can be in any form, but it won't be a simple article.

I disagree with the notion that article writing and copywriting are two different things.

I think a more clear way of putting this is SEO article writing and copywriting are two different things. That is, writing that is not meant for human consumption. It's just for the search engines.

Because articles, reports, and so can be vital ingredients to complement your salesletter or sales page. This is because QUALITY content does 3 things:

1. It builds relationships
2. It captures attention
3. It educates

In other words, it presells. So, when you finally do send the sales pitch... response goes way up. In addition, this content may have a lot of the same ingredients as a direct-response pitch...

You've got to capture attention, keep attention, build credibility, simplify the complicated, and you MAY even have a call-to-action to get more information. So, when you have a content writer who gets direct-response... these are pretty darn valuable folks.

With this said, I am not sure anybody is disagreeing with this. I just think folks are missing the distinction between SEO article writing and real, quality content.

Hey, I have exactly what you're looking for.
I'm going to start a big project very soon on: MAD AFFILIATES
Also I have a lot of other projects hat I can use copy writing. We can collaborate.

Eventually if things go well I would even partner with a copy writer because it's the most important part in creating a product.

I know that you are still learning, but I definitely can run the test and see what happens because I have a lot of products starting up.

First, I want to thank everyone on this forum who has been MORE than generous towards me with their time, insight, information & concern - I am deeply grateful that you guys have absolutely lived up to the reputation you have here. So thank you very much, I sincerely appreciate it!

Second, I realize I should have set a time limit on this 'offer' so I am doing that now. Within 24 hours I will pick some to work with. There are far too many good choices so it will be roulette for me. I may end up doing more than one project simply because SEVERAL of you who contacted me are jaw-droppingly skilled at what you do!

Thanks again, guys, I've been here only a handful of days and I'm learning more than I have in months on similar forums.

I realized I should probably point out that I actually can't respond to any of my PM's until I've posted 50 posts. I didn't catch that little note the first time through...

I feel much newer now. If you have sent me any sort of offer, I will respond to you. I simply need to make more posts first and I am trying to find a way to do this while contributing something of value instead of merely for post count's sake.

Hey Wolf

I wish you all the best with you future in copying writing, and if you are interested I do need a sale page for my new social community site to get my free members to upgrade to monthly paid memberships. PM me
