Back in 2013 before Ian Stanley was a famous copy guru, he was just a broke 22 year-old who was trying to make a buck online.
At the time he was living with his parents in California…
And he was teaching private tennis lessons for $60 an hour to make ends meet.
But deep down he knew this wasn’t his path…
He wanted to make money on his own terms…
And he didn’t want to wake up at 7 AM to teach a bunch of rich kids how to hit a better forehand…
So what did he do?
Well he started with buying a bunch of “make money” products on Clickbank.
And like most people who buy “make money” products, he didn’t do anything with them.
They just collected dust.
However…
Through a series of events…
Ian eventually stumbled onto copywriting…
And that led him to a copy training program called Copyhour.
He had no idea if the program was legit…
Or if it would help him…
But there was something intriguing about the idea of “hand-copying ads everyday”.
It made logical sense to him.
“If I hand copy these ads everyday, my writing will get better” he thought.
So that’s what he did.
He joined Copyhour and went all-in on it.
And for the first 60 days of the program, he followed it to a “t”.
He didn’t waiver…
He didn’t make excuses.
He simply hand-copied the ads that they said to hand-copy every single day.
And after doing that for 60 days, something interesting happened…
Around that time, Ian started applying for copywriting jobs.
Keep in mind, he had no experience writing copy for clients…
And he didn’t know how to even talk to clients…
But Ian was a go-getter…
And he was eager to make some dough…
So he applied to a bunch of copywriting jobs…
And one of those job posts eventually led to him getting on the phone with a guy named Mike Collella who ran a company called Credit Solutions.
Mike was looking for an email writer…
And despite Ian having no experience with this…
And being nervous as hell…
He got on a Skype call with Mike…
And simply told him the truth…
“I don’t have any experience writing for clients, but I’ve been doing this program called Copyhour for the last 60 days where I hand copy ads for an hour each day” Ian said…
“For real?” Mike shot back.
“Yeh, they give you prompts and then you follow the prompts each day and hand copy them” Ian responded
Mike was impressed.
He had been in the game a long time…
And he knew most copywriters were lazy and unwilling to do the work.
So when Ian said he’d been hand copying ads everyday for an hour, he knew Ian had what it took to be a good copywriter.
So he decided to take a chance on him…
And he hired Ian to write emails for him for $20 an hour.
Obviously, this isn’t a ton of money…
And it didn’t make Ian rich…
But it was a huge moment for him.
Cause Mike was his first real client.
And it was the first time in his copywriting career that he thought “I can do this”.
Everything he had been dreaming about…
And all the stories he saw online of people getting clients…
It finally felt real.
Anyways…
I’ve always loved that story about Ian…
Cause it’s a good example of what’s possible when you simply hand-write ads every single day like Ian did.
Now, maybe you found Ian’s story inspiring as well.
And if you did…
And you want to follow in his foot steps…
I highly suggest following the path Ian followed…
And signing up for Copyhour.
If you’re not familiar with Copyhour, it’s a 90-day copy training program run by Derek Johanson.
Copyhour has launched the careers of some of the most successful copywriters today such as Ian, Ning Li, Dan Ferrari, Chris Orzechowski, Randall Pruitt, Jamie Lynch and Austin Lee.
And the reason the program works so well is because it prompts you to write every day (even if it’s for only 15 minutes)…
And if you simply write everyday…
And you follow the prompts that Derek gives you, your copy skills will start to compound.
Your words will start to grab people’s attention…
It’ll tap into their deepest problems…
And it’ll eventually persuade a good chunk of the people reading to buy whatever you’re selling.
That’s what the program is all about.
It’s about compounding your copy skills day after day.
And it flat out works.
But here’s the thing…
As good as Copyhour is…
And as many lives as it’s changed…
One of the best parts about the program is the price.
Cause most programs like Copyhour that train you over 2 or 3 months usually cost upwards of $2500 or $3500.
So they’re not cheap.
But with Copyhour, you don’t have to pay anything near that.
Why?
Cause Derek who runs the program is set on helping as many people as possible to get good at copy…
So if you join Copyhour today…
You won’t pay $2500 or $3500…
Instead it’s just $297.
And you can even break that up into three monthly payments of $99 if you want.
So anyway you look at it, it’s a hell of a deal.
And if you’re serious about getting good at copy…
Whether that’s cause you want to be a highly-paid freelancer…
Or because you want to write better copy for your own business…
Or because you’re a marketer or media buyer and you know getting better at copy will help you to make more moolah…
Whatever the reason, if you want the simplest, most effective way to get good at copy in the next 90 days…
Then I highly suggest you snag a spot in the first 2024 cohort of Copyhour that just opened.
Derek (who runs Copyhour) only runs this program twice a year…
And he is currently enrolling the January cohort right now until Sunday…
So if getting really good at copy in the next 90 days appeals to you…
I suggest you give Copyhour a look right here…
This program is proven to change lives (as you saw with Ian’s story).
So if you want to level-up your copy skills like he did…
I suggest you read all about Copyhour and see if it’s a fit for you at the link below…
