Resources for learning (newbie)

6 replies
I'm interested in getting into digital marketing, specifically as a copywriter, and I'm wondering about what I should be learning and where I can learn it.

I'm out of university so I can't go to school for anything, but if you could suggest online resources, free and paid ones.

    So what would an agency look at in terms of qualifications if I showed up looking for a copywriting job.

    I presume they want to look at your previous work, given that I don't have it, would I have a shot, what kind of qualifications would they look for?

    Would they expect any technical knowledge?

      They might give you a Topic to write a persuasive Copy and test whether you are up to the mark or not.Start Blogging where you can write; implement what you have read in books.Pick the topic that interests you and start Writing 2 posts daily.You can show your blog to the agents.

      If you are dumb stuck which strategy to use then at a critical time you can go with PAS(Problem Agitate Solve) Method it works always.

      Cheers!
      Keep Going.

        Would they expect any kind of technical knowledge from a copywriter?
