Copywiriting skills is one of the greatest assets you can ever possess. It not only enables you to write good sales copy, but can improve your persuasive skills in anything you ever write or say.
A Word Of Warning About Copywriting…
Copywriting is also an art. It’s not something you would learn overnight. Actually, you never finish learning it. For example, I’m also a programmer, and most professional programmers claim they get to learn new stuff every now and then. The same thing happens in chess.
But… The Wrong Choice Can Be Disastrous
Many aspiring copywriters think that they can manage learning copywriting by reading online blogs and articles. You’re right. You can, IF AND ONLY IF you know copywriting already. Such articles post small nuggets of wisdom here and there, but they don’t teach copywriting right from the beginning.
If you’re serious about copywriting, get a book. I have a list of copywiriting books recommended by copywiritng geniuses, internet marketers, WarriorForum members etc… Don’t buy every single book. Buy one, read and understand it, and then go to the next. Each copywriting book author has his own style, so you get to learn new stuff from each of them. And by the way, you can click the book titles to see a detailed description of it, and if you want, buy it.
Copywriting Books – Some Of The Best Ones
- The Copywriter’s Handbook, Third Edition – By Robert W. Bly: I’ve seen this book recommended as the first an aspiring copywriter should buy.
- Scientific Advertising – By Claude Hopkins: A Great Classic
- The Robert Collier Letter Book – By Robert Collier
- How To Write A Good Advertisement – By Victor Schwab
- Tested Advertising Methods – By John Caples
Is That All….?
Unfortunately, no. But I didn’t want to overwhelm you with an endless list of copywriting books. As I said above, The Copywriter’s Handbook should be your first choice. You can read the rest of them once you finish at least on book. Remember, nothing is more important that learning and completely understanding the basics of copywriting. And you can do that only if you sit and read ONE book from start to finish.
Have a nice copywriting journey!
