Become An ULTIMATE Copywriter: Master The Critical Skill Of Selling With Words - Here's How...

I do offer training myself but you just can't go wrong with the above offer.

Paul Hancox is a top pro copywriter in his own right and one or two here have been trained under his superb guidance.

Smoking hot,


Mark Andrews

What Mark said above, I'm currently taking that course from Paul. Once I get through and have enough "chops" to do some paid work, I'm going to take his personal mentoring program.

I'm very happy with my decision to take this course, but this is something I've been meaning to pursue seriously for years. Don't do what I did and put it off. If you really have a passion and feel a calling to this profession, I think you could do a lot worse than getting this training from Paul.

Good luck

Here's a few copywriters that mentor or have mentored. Mentoring comes with a fee--I say that because some people think mentoring is free.

I've got materials from both Paul Hancox and Ray Edwards/Raydal.

Both would be great mentors.

I'm currently doing the yearlong course from Paul linked above. $17/month, 1 new lesson a week. Great stuff. So great I wish I could speed it up and get a new one every other day. But that would be tedious so the pace is good.

I pointed another lawyer to Paul's presell mastery e-book and she loves it so much, she's asking for links to all of his stuff right way. Paul has a great way of breaking concepts down. They just make so much sense.

On this forum? I have no idea.

The people who taught me were/are Bob Bly and Frank Kern.

Dan Kennedy is also very good but I've never learned from him or studied him at all.

OK. This isn't someone on this forum but it's a valuable resource. Bit of an understatement. The link is for Drayton Bird's blog. This is a guy must be in his late 70's and still plying his trade. Worked with and much respected by David Ogilvy etc etc etc and if you follow the links you get a copy of Scientific Advertising by Claude Hopkins. Yes a classic work. Enough from me. Do check this out: The Drayton Bird Blog

I know Drayton Bird did a book for the legal field (someone here was reviewing it). I need to buy it. It's $200 here in the US, used from a shady seller though. And like $600 in the UK (or something).

67% positive ranking scares me!

Paul's was one of the first courses I ever took....and to this day, in the top 3 of the best courses I own. It's impel, step-by-step and you can learn at your own pace.

There's even material covered in the first few modules I've NEVER seen in ANY copywriting course...and I feel like I've taken them all.

Spent THOUSANDS of dollars on copywriting materials.

Another not mentioned here is Daniel Levis. You need to get his 5R Web Conversion course first (which is amazing by the way) then he offers a 350 a month email mentoring where you can send in work and he offers a critiques/ guidance.

I'd start with Paul and then, depending on your time and budget, try out different mentors.

Daniel Levis is a super sharp dude.

Another suggestion...

If there's a copywriter whose work you really like, drop them a line and ask them if they offer mentoring.

I know a lot of people who've gotten mentoring with people who don't offer mentoring that way.

-Daniel

P.S. Most of the help and advice I receive these days is pro-bono, from friends and contacts who are further along in their careers than I am and who know I'm serious about what I do and work my ass off to deliver results. I also help other people this way.

So even though it's not formal mentoring, it still helps build your skills and expand your horizons.

Hey leeannprice

I don't know a copywriter mentor here at WF...
However, after reading through seventeen posts - i can't believe no one mentioned the famous Mr Prince of PRINT...Yes the one and only...GARY HALBERT.

I have heaps of the late Gary Halberts materials, he was my mentor, sadly much missed.

Anyway...YOU can study a lot of his stuff for FREE..!

Here's the link buddy...

Robert,

I think Alex's point was that you were not personally mentored by Halbert. You followed him and his teachings and were inspired by them. That is not personal interaction, which mentoring is all about.

This isn't a mentor so much as it is a way to learn copywriting by people who mentor others. I highly recommend the AWAI course (Michael Masterson's Six Figure Copywriting). I think they have a web-based version now so you don't have to have all the big binders shipped to you. One caveat though - they LOVE to sell to you. And they're not bad at it. After all, they're copywriters.

Mark,
Thanks for the information. I signed up for Paul's course and I think it's going to be very helpful!

I would suggest reading as much material as possible from Dan Kennedy, He may be the king of all copy writing. Follow him, get on his list, read his blog as often as possible!
