This is Jesse from <a href=\"\/\/startcopywriting.com\/\\&quot;\" target=\"\\&quot;_blank\\&quot;\" rel=\"noopener\">StartCopywriting.com<\/a> and in today\u2019s video; I\u2019m going to tell you all about how you can become a copywriter.\r\n\r\nSo in this episode of StartCopywriting.com, I\u2019m going to share with you my own personal journey of how I went from being totally unknown, complete beginner to becoming a highly paid copywriter.\r\n<p dir=\"\\&quot;ltr\\&quot;\"><strong>5 Simple Steps To Become A Copywriter<\/strong><\/p>\r\nSo, there are 5 simple steps that you need to follow if you want to become a copywriter.\r\n<p dir=\"\\&quot;ltr\\&quot;\"><strong>Step 1: Study Copywriting<\/strong><\/p>\r\nStep number 1 is you want to study copywriting. You can\u2019t really become the master of anything unless you actually study what is it that you\u2019re doing. So read lots of books on copywriting, you also want to check out my website, I have loads of free videos and resources that are going to train you into becoming a copywriter as well. So, that\u2019s step number 1: Study Copywriting.\r\n<p dir=\"\\&quot;ltr\\&quot;\"><strong>Step 2: Practise Writing Every Day<\/strong><\/p>\r\nStep number 2 is you need to practise writing every day. Now, you don\u2019t need to spend hours and hours writing in the beginning, you may work at a job right now and not have a lot of time. What I recommend is just 10-15 minutes a day practise writing. No one learned how to ride a bike by reading books on riding a bike, you have to actually go out there and do it and that\u2019s what practising writing will do for you.\r\n\r\nSo if you spend just 10-15 minutes a day writing out winning or successful ads by hand, that\u2019s going to help you internalize the process of copywriting. You\u2019ll even pick up some of the techniques of copywriting just by writing out some of the existing ads that you find either on the internet or in printed media.\r\n<p dir=\"\\&quot;ltr\\&quot;\"><strong>Step 3: Build Your Portfolio<\/strong><\/p>\r\nStep number 3 is to build your portfolio. Nobody is going to take you seriously as a copywriter if you don\u2019t have any work to show them what you\u2019re capable of.\r\n\r\nSo the way you build your portfolio, there are really 2 ways:\r\n\r\nThe first way is to <a href=\"\/\/startcopywriting.com\/how-to-get-copywriting-experience-2-5\/\\&quot;\" target=\"\\&quot;_blank\\&quot;\" rel=\"noopener\">write for friends for free<\/a>. By doing that, you are going to get an example that you can now use on your website in your portfolio. And there\u2019s no pressure to perform and create blockbuster results because you\u2019re writing for a friend and you are not getting paid to write that example.\r\n\r\nAnother way is you can just start writing ads. Now, what I mean by that is you can take existing product or services, it might be the local hairdressing salon, it might be a restaurant, and you can write an ad for that restaurant or that hair salon and then you can use that in your marketing. Now, of course you don\u2019t want to say that you actually were hired to write that copy, it\u2019s just an example of what you\u2019re capable of.\r\n<p dir=\"\\&quot;ltr\\&quot;\"><strong>Step 4: Build Your Website<\/strong><\/p>\r\nStep number 4 is build your website. The way the internet is going nowadays, you need a website if you\u2019re going to attract global clients. So having a website really is a must. The good news is with all the advancements in technology, it\u2019s so much easier nowadays to create a website than it was when I first started copywriting 10 years ago. So definitely build that website and have your portfolio examples and your contact details on your website.\r\n<p dir=\"\\&quot;ltr\\&quot;\"><strong>Step 5: Go Out There And Get Clients<\/strong><\/p>\r\nStep numbers 5 is go out there and get clients. There are so many ways to get copywriting clients. Some of the best ways are in another video I have over at StartCopywriting.com but I\u2019ll give you one of my favourite ways right now and that is to attend and network at business seminars and events.\r\n\r\nBusiness owners are people that are most likely to hire you as a copywriter so you want to go and meet those people by shaking hands and handing out business cards at any of your local chamber of commerce or business events.\r\n<p dir=\"\\&quot;ltr\\&quot;\">I hope you\u2019ve enjoyed this episode; I\u2019m Jesse Forrest from <a
