It’s simple, succinct and amazing to begin writing things up. I am going to try it on my website for sure. Thank you Jessefor sharing your wisdom!

This class not only simplified copy writing, it made me think about the essentials of my business and why my offer matters to my customer. I gained a lot of clarity about both copy and the purpose of my business through this class!
– Wendy Arnott
Jesse explains concepts well, especially for beginners. The course outline is clear and follows a logical sequence. This use of examples definitely helps to get the point across. A great introduction to web copywriting
– Gareth
This is one of the best copywriting courses I took. The tips are simple but super effective for any copywriter. It’s not just for web copywriting but copywriting in general. The teacher is also very engaging. I can tell that he has a lot of experience in copywriting.
– Kevin Pinili
The lessons are well-structured, short and easy to digest. Plus full of very clear and good real life examples that makes the art of storytelling very easy to understand. Thank you!
– Nicole Fhors
I am SO glad I found this course. I watched a few other courses on landing pages but none of them come close to Jesse’s. A bit of backstory, I am constantly trying to improve website conversions and my landing page fall- off has been a bit high. I’ve already begun implementing some of the principles Jesse discusses and I’m excited to see the outcome. Specifically loved all the examples Jesse went through. It made the course incredibly practical and engaging. Shoutout to Jesses teaching ability as well. Looking forward to watching more of Jesses courses, thank you!
– Sean Dalton
This was such a helpful course! I’m an absolute beginner but everything was very easy to follow and practical like you said, which I love. All the resources, tools and tips on researching about your target audience were all very new to me. They opened my eyes to a whole new world! I will definitely use all these newly learned skills for my new business! Thank you so much Jesse 😀
– Anli Liu
I love how clear the instructions are. Jesse also gives many great practical examples and tools on how to research for ideas. This is a very hands-on course. I am now creating my own schedule and looking forward to implementing it to have a more consistent and engaging content strategy. Thanks Jesse! You did it again!

Watch live copywriting critiques on video
You’ll get to watch me review and critique websites, landing pages, sales pages, and more right before your eyes on screencam video! It’s like you’re looking over my shoulder as I break down existing copy and put it back together for maximum effectiveness.
These critique videos are incredibly valuable. Just read the results one of my clients reported after implementing what they learned from watching a critique…
Hi this is Kevin Tuck from the Fun Music Company. I don’t hire lots of copywriters, but I had Jesse do a video critique of one of our sales letters. This site had been performing alright, averaging about $1,000 every month. However, with a few improvements Jesse suggested to the headline, opening body text and the guarantee, our website now turns over double what it was doing before, or about $2,000 a month. Therefore, with a 100% improvement of our website, I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Jesse for any copywriting project.

Hey, I’m Jesse Forrest, founder of Copy Academy
I’m Jesse Forrest, a seasoned copywriter with 20 years of experience and a coach who’s had the privilege of training marketing teams at Chanel, Disney, Sony, and J.P. Morgan, as well as 35,500 students through my online courses.
