Thread: Where To Begin

Lets get some opinions from everyone here. For someone brand new (not even basic knowledge) to copywriting, but they decide this is what they want to persue and the want to do it right, what 2 or 3 sources would you recommend to them. This could be books (modern or classics), e-books, courses etc. If they came to you and asked you right now, what would you suggest.....

you say "this is what you want to pursue" but what is IT??? Do you want to be a copywriter, a general writer, an internet marketer or what??
You really need to be specific when you ask questions.
There are plenty of great free ebooks available on many different topics.

I did specify copywriting here. Sorry if I wasnt totally clear, But this is basically meant as just a poll for opinions from different people on what they would suggest to someone brand new.

I dont know here maybe what Laurence was trying to get to grips with is in which topic you wanted to follow in your copy writing and seeing as you are doing a poll for suggestions a wee bit more information would help getting down to the answers you are looking for

so are you saying you want to learn about copy writing or you want to find work as a copywriter? If you don't have experience, then you should grab a few free ebooks and start reading to get some basic understanding but it's not something you will learn easily.

I don't know what your level of capability is with regards to writing.
I know I have a ton of copy writing books that may be of interest to you or you can simply search the net for free copy writing ebooks.

Hi,

If you are looking for some good resources to help you with your copywriting Scott Haines produces some fantastic material. It's practical and can be tweaked to your market. I really like his stuff.

I agree laurence..

The very first thing you need to do as of now is to know which among the specifics you wanted to really pursue..

From there you will discover your next step and from there the step after the next...;)

Do you have any examples of some free ebooks to learn some essentials of copywriting?

Amy,

If you pm me your email address I can give you a couple of free ebooks on copy writing basics.
