    Nick,

    I won't lie to you... it's pretty bad.

    You've got grammar and flow issues all over the place which immediately bring your abilities as a copywriter into question.

    For example... no one uses the word "copywrite". Copywriter, yes. Copywriting, yes. Copywriters write copy, though.

    That aside... no one who wants a copywriter wants a copywriter. They want to increase sales... dominate their market-place... or bring in more customers.

    I'm only saying this to help you... but you're nowhere near ready to offer your services as a writer yet.

    You need to read a lot more books. Not necessarily copywriting books - books in general.

    You need to practise writing a lot more... developing your phrasing and style.

    Once you've done that... you need to read the copywriting classics. Schwab... Sandler... Kennedy... Cialdini... etc.

    In short... you've got a very long road ahead of you before you're ready.

    Even as a first draft what you wrote is of pretty poor quality.

    I'm sorry to be so harsh... but this is a competitive business.

    If you want clients... you need to be damn good at what you do.

    -Dan

      He didn't mean books to formally educate you. He meant popular fiction so you can immerse yourself in "real world" English - so you can pick up the subtleties of the written word.

      At the moment that's FAR more important for you than studying copy.
