Masterclass In Copywriting and Story-Driven Marketing
Better words get better results!
Take Your Business Writing to the Next Level
Copywriting is a critical element in your marketing strategy and a key ingredient for all areas of business success. You see, copywriting is not merely about getting words down on paper to convey a message, rather it’s the act of strategically delivering words that move people to action…
It’s about understanding fundamental principles of consumer psychology, digging out what’s unique about your offering, and crafting powerful copy that makes your reader crave the product or service you’re selling or promoting.
No matter what kind of copywriting you want to do – whether it’s web copy, traditional sales letters, email nurture campaigns, Business-to-Business, or anything else – you’ll find out everything you need to know in this Masterclass, including how to…
- Write website content that will make your phone ring
- Craft persuasive texts that leave a lasting impression
- Stand out in the content marketing jungle to attract more prospects
- Express your offer in a way your prospects can’t ignore
- Become a confident business writer, happy with your content
If you want to jump on the fast track to becoming a successful business writer, we invite you to attend this invigorating, inspirational, and eye-opening Copywriting Masterclass, where you will gain both the confidence and skills to write powerful sales and marketing copy.
You don’t have to be an experienced, accomplished, “natural”, or even keen writer to make these principles work for you!
See Immediate Results
This Masterclass is packed with copywriting how-tos that range from identifying your prospects’ core buying emotions… to finding your point of difference and using it to craft compelling offers… to applying proven sales pitch formulas to your own business writing… to the art of story-driven marketing… to writing powerful headlines that grab your prospect by the eyeballs… to writing email copy that can generate sales just like that.
In this hands-on workshop you will get the foundation you need to THINK differently about what your copywriting can do and how it should sound.
You will gain the skills to knock out your first draft and then “edit in the awesome”, and, best of all, you can do it all immediately with the right training and the help of handy templates and a proven process.
These valuable skills can pay off instantly. With a single email send or headline tweak, you could cover the full cost of the program with plenty left over (oh, and did I mention the repeat income from sending the email again?)
