8.) Another piece of advice I recently learned in a copywriter’s email is to drop “that” whenever possible. For instance, rather than saying, “The Godfather is a great movie that you should watch” you should say, “The Godfather is a great movie you should watch.”

Hi sean, Wonderful eye-opening video, I was doing youtube videos in the past then changed track and started doing reels related to copywriting, you made me to think about the future. Thank you for guidance!

Hey Sean, it looks like you've linked Everybody Writes twice in place of Copyhour!!

[wheelsnwarriors]

I’m a voracious reader. I love reading novels and anything that can improve my copywriting game. I need to use copyhour more.

[MrsAChery]

Hi! Signed up for the free 6 day writing course a few weeks ago. Still waiting for it. I signed up again just in case.
Excited to start!
I’ve read the suggested book as well.
🥳

Conversational is a very good tip. I really forgot that after going through uni 😅

[JamieMakin]

Excellent tips, and I can vouch for them since I have done every single one ... well except I'm sporadic with my "daily" journaling these days. #8 is a stellar tip, and one that doesn't come up often enough. I think many folks think they have to get more formal to be a "better writer" when it's really more about knowing your audience and writing accordingly. These days the audience is often on the internet which definitely calls for less formal writing.

Sean, this is so motivational.thanks a lot

[ChristianMusiol]

Hi Sean, thanks for the advices and how to put them into actions! 👍

[vapingfastbreak]

Does anybody have any recommendations on where to start a blog? Lol I have no idea, I thought all social media was video and pictures these days.

Thank you so much, Sean, for your inspiring video :-) I am an EL teacher (Teacher of English for English learners) and have faced so much racial discrimination for the last four years I have been teaching in public school. I want to make this my niche and let the world know what minority teachers go through in America's public schools. I wanted to know if my writing would be considered protected speech; I would write the truth. PS I have enough material for a lengthy book, but I do not want to start with fiction.

[charlierizor]

Great tips Sean. You really make it as simple as possible. I'm looking forward to starting a couple of these this week, starting with Doing it every day, and getting to the real why.

As an Indian, I am impressed more by your speaking skill than yet to see writing skill

[theepictale]

I write letters by hand still, no one replies but I write paper letters. My family doesn't care to read anything I write. They tell me I'm waisting my time and can't afford to pay someone to look over blog posts. Can't afford to pay a mentor, but I do watch your videos, read your emails and take free courses on marketing, but have to work on myself disapline.

Really? I still write letters and I don't send emails

Hi Sean, I am 18 years old and just graduated from high school, and I took gapyear 1 year before college. Can I become a freelance writer without a college degree?

[LilComputerBrainsLilComputerBr]

Why hire a human or buy a book when AI can do it better? Youve got 1 year, 2 tops before people can fill out a book style, character voice etc they want to read and its created in seconds. I guess will writing become an exercise for personal growth and exercise, like doing Yoga or hiking? There will be no gain beyond the immediate person performing it. It will be as interesting to others as people sharing pictures of a trip.
