Course Description
Just imagine, earning your living - a good living - without the hassle of commuting. Be your own boss. All you really need is a PC or Mac and a broadband connection - plus a desire to write and a bit of flair. Three months from now that could all become a reality. You will be a copywriter!"After just a few months I am writing sales copy for a huge experiential company, as well as technical copy for a well-respected tech-industry publication and building websites for small businesses." Martin Brennan.
Unlike so many guides on the subject, it's not a jumped-up list of 'useful phrases'. It won't tell you 'how to make a million dollars overnight'. Instead it is a unique, detailed step-by-step guide to becoming a successful freelance copywriter working from home, from scratch. Step by step Follow each step and you can make between 300 ($450) a day and - with more experience - 500 ($750) a day. Not exactly a get rich quick formula, but a very respectable income. Especially for someone who is their own boss, has few overheads, doesn't have to commute to work, and chooses exactly how much or how little work they want to take on. Because my website has been live for some time now, I get more than I need and have to turn work away. Is it possible? Sure, and in this guide I will show you in detail everything you need to know. Things like: How to begin from scratch and quickly build a portfolio How to find clients - fast How to market yourself How to build a copywriter website in just five days - for free How to find the most profitable projects and drop the rest How much to charge In fact, I will even share my killer 'terms and conditions' that enable me to close more business at higher prices. I will: Introduce you to the jargon no getting caught out as a beginner Show how to walk your clients through a brief, how to research topics, how to write for print and how to write for the web We will look at different writing styles (or 'tone of voice' as the marketing people call it). I will teach you questioning techniques for telephone interviews (I do all my work over the net and by phone) and show you some clever, low cost phone recording kit and transcription software so that you won't even have to take notes Plus lots of tricks of the trade that save valuable time and mark you out as a real pro And give you stacks of links to real samples of different types of copy, templates, tick lists and so on, plus more detailed descriptions of some of the topics covered in this book (build your own free library). In fact, everything you need to get you started with confidence.

He works from home, writing copy for organisations around the world - and lots of them have become personal friends.
With forty years' experience in marketing, he spent three years in Paris responsible for IBM product marketing in 14 countries across EMEA.
His biggest market is the USA, followed by the UK, the Arab states and the Netherlands. His business comes via the web and his website attracts more than 1,000 visits a day.

Married for more than 50 years (a world record?) he has three sons.
He lives in a rambling old vicarage in Yorkshire that has the distinction of having been built by the Brnte sisters Uncle Fennel. Charlottes earliest recorded letter was written from the vicarage during one of the childrens brief holidays there.
His interests have included competitive rallying (including an attempt at the Monte Carlo Rally and the Paris Marrakesh), and paragliding. These days he is content with art and opera.
Vacation time aside, Len aims to answer student queries within hours.
