Hey guys, I've read a couple of books so far on copywriting and direct marketing (both by Dan Kennedy) and just recently finished an online copywriting course on Udemy.
I'm just starting to apply my new skills but am wondering if you know any great sources or people to learn from when it comes to copy, sales and marketing and if you prefer books to online courses.
After reading the thread "Getting started is this simple..", my current goal is to learn copywriting skills and then find work that pays a little more (I'm that guy currently working minimum wage living paycheck to paycheck) which will give me a little more free time to work on a "fastlane" business. Learning these skills while working would also "kill 2 birds with one stone".
I first discovered the power of copywriting while posting a "room for rent" ad on Kijiji for my girlfriend. I literally went from getting 290 views a month to 300 views overnight. I thought that was badass, it's almost like a superpower or something lol.
Anyways, thanks for your time and if you have any suggestions let me know!
