Description

Writing is your passion. Why not make it your day job, too?

Whether you’re an aspiring screenwriter, novelist or playwright, or even just an avid reader, you can turn your love for words into a lucrative career as a professional copywriter.

With the explosion of the Internet, the need for creative copywriters who can craft compelling advertising has skyrocketed. And because most companies across all sectors need marketing content, copywriting is a virtually recession-proof career choice.

Freelance copywriters work from home and set their own schedules, giving them the time they need to pursue their personal creative projects. Imagine what you could do with those extra hours, not to mention extra cash!

Find out how you can become a part of this rising industry with the Breaking into Copywriting course from Writers University. In just 4 short weeks, you’ll learn how to:

• Utilize copywriting theory to produce high-quality advertising
• Generate a professional Creative Brief
• Write Headlines and Taglines that sell
• Apply emotional techniques to persuade an audience
• Create a killer sample ad for your portfolio
• Find and secure work as a copywriter
• And much more!

Plus, unlike other copywriting courses that only offer content without guidance, you’ll have access to a professional copywriter who will coach you through the course, offer insightful feedback on your work, and provide answers to all your copywriting questions.

You could continue to toil away at a mind-numbing office job, or you could be calling the shots as a freelance copywriter. Enroll in Breaking into Copywriting today and get started on your copywriting career.
