Join Me Doing Sam Parrs 14 day "Copy That" Challenge

[MitchC]

So if you've been on these forums a while you may remember the 30 day Gary Halbert challenge that was a thing here for a while

An insane 30 day challenge that really would probably take a lifetime to complete

Anyway

Sam Parr has something similar but it's only 14 days

And I imagine the copy is way more up to date than 50's long form sales letters in Halberts

I've been meaning to do it for a while now, as you can probably tell, my writing skills have gone back to being terrible, and I have to write copy a lot so it will be good to freshen up my skill

He sent an email today saying that the price is increasing tomorrow so I decide now is the time and purchased it

What is it?

Every day for 14 days he will send you a different piece of copy to hand copy

By hand copying it you will get better at writing copy, kind of like learning guitar by playing other artists songs

You get an understanding and a feel for the writing and how it comes together

Eventually you get a good enough feel that you can start putting your own spin on it and writing your own

Hand copying is the best way to get better at writing, but it's not the most enjoyable or stimulating thing to do, so I figured I'd start this thread to keep myself accountable and also see if anyone else was interested in doing it

Here's the link if you want to buy it

CopyThat

The copywriting challenge that will actually make your writing better in 14 days. Is it that easy? Yeah, it is.

trycopythat.com

This thread will be weird if I don't share what the pieces I am copying are so I'm thinking it will be possible to follow along without buying it

Once you sign up you get an email saying the first piece will be sent on Monday, so I guess I/we start Monday
