Course Description
The words you write for your business are directly tied to the overall success of your marketing efforts.
On top of that, choosing the right words can make the difference between your launch hitting 5 figures or 7 figures ...
… your clickthrough rates hovering at 15% or 70%
… your Facebook posts being shared 20 times or 2,000 times
… your landing pages converting at 5% or 65%
And most important …
The right words can make the difference between your business fighting to keep the lights on vs. your business breaking sales records every time you launch a new promotion.
All because of the words you chose to put on the page.
The best part?
You don’t have to guess what to write.
You can learn exactly what words will increase the level of your success … Every. Single. Time. No guesswork, no finger crossing, no hoping and praying the words you write will do what you need them to do.
When you hit send or publish, you can feel comfortable knowing the words you’ve chosen have the best chance to get you more engagement, more subscribers, more conversions, more sales, or more of whatever it is you’re looking to accomplish.
And you can do this by learning how to effectively apply copywriting best practices to everything you write.
Whether you’re aware of it or not, copywriting is one of the most essential elements of effective marketing.
It’s the art and science of strategically delivering words that get people to take some form of action.
Need more subscribers? Copywriting can help.
Need more opens, more engagement, more conversions? You’ve got it. Copywriting can help there, too.
How about more sales? Of course!
Becoming good at copywriting gives you one of the most powerful and predictable tools to transform the success of your business.
Sound too good to be true?
Well, imagine this …
You’re sitting at your computer, coffee in hand, writing an email to your list of subscribers.
You’re excited because you know - based on the copywriting techniques you’ve used in both the subject line and body of your email - there’s a high likelihood your subscribers will not only open your email, but also read what’s inside and be motivated to click on your call to action.
You’re even more excited because those very same users are going to click-through to a landing page with proven persuasion tactics baked into the copy on the page … almost guaranteeing a flood of conversions and sales for your business.
You wrap up the email, hit send, take a deep breath, and start watching the orders roll in.
Sounds pretty amazing, don’t you think?
Well, that’s exactly what you’re going to learn how to do in this course.
Let’s take a look at what’s covered inside:
Section 1
Still unsure what copywriting is? You won’t be after this section. In addition to the basics, you’ll also learn the importance of having a thorough understanding of your audience, products, competition, and your brand’s unique voice. Once you’ve got this down, then you can start writing.
Section 2
You’re ready to start crafting your copy. But first, you need to understand the techniques and tactics copywriters use to put it all together. How do you use persuasion tactics or stir up emotion in your reader? What power words get people to take action? This is the section where you find out.
Section 3
Ahh, good ol’ formulas - making life easier for everyone since the dawn of time. Well, maybe not that long … but you get the idea. In this section, you’ll learn classic copywriting formulas that nearly eliminate writer’s block. Applying them to your own work will make writing a breeze once you’re done.
Section 4
Plan on writing for a B2B audience? It’s going to require something a little different. Here you’ll learn the strategies you need to hit the right tone and messaging when targeting other businesses. So pay attention, because understanding these nuances will dramatically improve your results.
Section 5
If copywriting had an MVP, it would likely be headlines. If you don’t create an excellent one, your reader will move on to something else in the blink of an eye. In this section, you’ll learn how to craft captivating headlines that draw people in and keep them moving down the page. Oh, and more formulas? Yes, please!
In sections 6 through 11, you’re going to learn the know-how of nailing copywriting for specific types of projects, including:
- Landing pages and Calls to Action (CTAs)
- Social Media
- Video
- Press Releases
- & Content Marketing
Each of these sections will dig into what kind of copywriting works best, and the methodologies and techniques you can use to get the results you want each time you sit down to write.
To top it all off, you’ll get access to worksheets and handouts for each section, hours of instructional videos guiding you through the topics, and a high-level breakdown of relevant case studies to support your learning and make sure your new copywriting skills are able to shine.
By the end of this course, you’ll have everything you need to take your business to the next level through the art and science of Copywriting.

Hi, I'm Evan Kimbrell. Thanks for checking out my course.
**My courses have been featured in Forbes, CNN, Entrepreneur Magazine, BusinessInsider, BuzzFeed, Mashable, TheNextWeb, The Daily Beast, & Techcrunch**
Currently, I'm the Founder and Director of Sprintkick, a full-service, referral-only digital agency based out of San Francisco. Over the past four years I've overseen the development and launch of over 100 web and mobile apps. Clients range from two-man bootstrapping startups to multibillion dollar Fortune 100s like Wal-Mart, Dick's Sporting Goods, and GNC.
Prior to Sprintkick I worked as a VC for a new firm called Juvo Capital, based out of L.A. I spearheaded the firm's expansion into Silicon Valley and into the Consumer Web tech category.
In the long long ago, I was a co-founder for an educational software startup called ScholarPRO that raised a ton of money and then spectacularly blew up (in the bad way). Before it exploded like the Death Star, I went through five tech incubators (yes, five): Tech Stars, Excelerate Labs, MassChallenge, Babson Venture Program, and Sparkseed.
Hope you enjoy my courses!

I will be very honest this course was good, it started just by telling you what is copywriting and giving you an overall view on diff types of copy. then it went to dig deep in specific types of copies mainly i loved the way they gave those practices. it was very amazing to do those practices. good work was done to give recap of those lectures in those PDFs lastly i would recommend a very beginner copywriter to go on youtube and just see some videos on copywriting and just learn something, write some emails and then come to this course. it will help you but you can start from this course as well without seeing any free YouTube videos

This guy's so chill... Love his straightforward, direct, monotonous yet kinda funny tone of communication. Love it. XD This course will help me personally to get into the right mindset of copywriting. If I get lost in the technicalities, I know I will comeback to this. So Thank you Evan!

This course teaches you everything you need to know about marketing your business online. Perfect for entrepreneurs who start from zero but the content is so rich that is goes way beyond a beginner course. Thank you so much Evan, there is so much value in every course you make! You have the ability to turn even the most horrible subject fun to lean! Wish you all the success, you are the best ✨

It's the complete course, you got the theory, you got the example, study case and even exercise. The material is complete and the instructor is easy to understand. I have some basic understanding about copywriting and this course answer all my question.
By Stephane Fonteyne on 2/16/2021
I found the course very interesting. I have learned a lot. Good explanation of all topics of copywriting. I met my expectations perfectly, but I have to slow down the teacher's voice otherwise I couldn't understand anything. Maybe save the text scripts of each lesson in pdf
By Leigh Brady on 11/8/2020
Really enjoyed the course, the lecturer was engaging and offered some good storytelling to explain the features of the course. Extra resources were good but they could have a lot more information rather than mainly blank work sheets. Overall very informative and immersive.

I am enthralled. I have already learnt so much. I cannot wait to move onto more. Thank you Evan Kimbrell.

so far so good
By Harsh on 10/10/2020
The Course was more of downloading lectures and restricts the thinking and imagination. Could have included some hand on experience on show how.
