What Was Your Copywriting Milestone In 2011?
The year 2011 was great for me…
1. This was the year I reached a level I was booked solid. In fact, I turned down a client not because he was a poor pick with little money but because I was not ready to disappoint him with late deliveries.
2. This was the year I discovered that in the in the land of the blind, the one-eyed man is king. It occurred to me that there are millions of people who have never heard of copywriting, direct response or internet marketing. And anyone who has just gone through John Caples Tested Advertising Methods once can make an enormous living guiding these ‘blind’ people.
3. This was the year I discovered that the biggest factor hindering career movement is confidence. The ability to step out in faith. To move away from the pack and provide leadership.
4. This was the year I discovered that the best way to master copywriting is to teach the craft. You teach by mentoring, giving courses, writing articles and forum comments.
5. This was the year I discovered the 10,000 hours rule which says that you must put in these many hours in whatever field to be an expert. I went ahead and opened an excel sheet where I monitor my progress towards this mark. I’m happy to report the progress so far is impressive.
Well, there are a few more days before the year ends. But...
What were your milestones in 2011? I would appreciate if you shared.
