Back when I was in 8th grade, I learned a lesson on the golf course that not only helped me make the varsity team as a freshman…but it also eventually turned me into a multi-millionaire copywriter.
Allow me to explain…
When I was younger, I was really into golf.
I played every single day over the summer…
And when I was heading into my freshman year, I knew there was gonna be an opening for the sixth spot on the varsity team.
The first five spots were all locked up…
But the sixth spot was up for grabs…
And I knew it was gonna come down to me and another guy named Billy Criscione, who was a year older than me.
So the summer before my freshman year, I started plotting out a plan to get better than Billy over the summer.
The only problem was that Billy had every single advantage over me that you could ask for.
He was like 6’4 and could hit the ball 300+ yards.
He had the newest Titleist driver every year…
And on top of that his family belonged to Plum Brook, which was the country club in our town, so he had 24/7 access to the driving range, the course and even weekly lessons from the teaching pro there.
Me on the other hand?
I didn’t have any of that.
I was 4’10 and 80 lbs soaking wet…
So I could barely hit the ball 190 yards on a good day.
And on top of that, I could barely afford to play at the dogshit public course near me.
So I was at a big disadvantage…
But the one thing I had that Billy didn’t have was committment.
Billy was one of those guys who was naturally good at golf.
So he didn’t practice a lot.
He just went out and played twice a week…
And just by doing that, he was better than most people.
But I knew that if I simply practiced more…
And I was more committed to practicing than him…
I could beat him.
So what did I do?
Every single day that summer, I’d drive out to Wousickett (our team’s course), and spend 2 hours on the practice green working on putting drills.
Literally every single day.
I’d start by practicing the little 3-foot putts…
And I’d force myself to make 50 of those in a row before I’d move on to the next drill.
Once I made 50 in a row, I’d move back a few feet and work on my 6-footers…
I’d force myself to make 15 of those in a row (from all different angles and breaks)…
Once I did that, I’d move back a little more to 9-feet and I’d force myself to make 8 of those in a row…
I did this every single day that summer.
Didn’t matter if it was 100 degrees out…
Or if I had just gotten done working for 8 hours…
I committed to practicing every single day.
And you know what?
That practice paid off in spades.
Cause that fall when tryouts came around…
I wound up smokin’ Billy by 7 strokes over our three day tryout!
I remember Coach Laudonia couldn’t believe it.
He just assumed Billy was gonna be the sixth man that year.
But it didn’t happen.
I wound up taking the sixth spot…
And I even took home “freshman of the year” for our conference later that year.
Which was an amazing feeling.
And something I’m still proud of to this day…
Point being…
The simple act of “practicing” something everyday is more powerful than you think it is.
And pracitcing everyday works in golf just like it works in copywriting…
Cause when I started copywriting I did the exact same thing.
I wrote every single day.
Didn’t matter if I didn’t feel like it…
I still found the time to write (even if it was for just 10 minutes).
That’s how I got my initial “copy chops”.
I wrote every single day.
And that’s something I still recommend today.
If you want to get good at copy…
You need to write every day.
Now the problem most people have when I tell them this is that they don’t know where to start.
They’re not sure what to write…
Or exactly what they should be doing each day…
Well that’s where Copyhour comes in.
If you’re not familiar with Copyhour, it’s a daily copywriting training program run by Derek Johanson.
The entire program lasts 90 days…
And it’s got a proven track record of launching the careers of some of the best copywriters today such as Ning Li, Dan Ferrari, Austin Lee, Randall Pruitt, Chris Orzechowski, Jamie Lynch and Ian Stanley.
And the reason the it works so well is because it’s based on daily practice.
Copyhour prompts you to write every day (even if it’s for only 15 minutes)…
And if you simply follow the prompts that Derek gives you…
You’ll notice that day-by-day your writing will get better.
Your copy will start to grab people’s attention…
It’ll tap into their deepest problems…
And it’ll eventually persuade a good chunk of people to buy whatever it is you’re selling.
That’s what the program is all about.
It’s about practicing writing each day (just like I practiced with my golf game)…
And by doing that…
It allows you to quickly get good at copy…
That’s the whole idea.
And like I said it works like gangbusters.
But here’s the thing…
As good as Copyhour is…
And as many lives as it has changed…
One of the best parts about it 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 have to pay $2500 or $3500…
Nope.
If you join today, it’ll be 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 freelance copywriter…
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 up.
Derek only runs this program twice a year…
And he is currently enrolling the first cohort right now…
So if being a part of that group appeals to you…
I suggest you give Copyhour a look right here…
