Win a Scholarship to The Copy Cure

Riddle me this.

What if you could sit down with your coffee and pour out words that spark an aha, a revolution, or thousands and thousands of clicks to your “buy” button?

Guess what: you can.

Those words — the words in your blog posts, your emails, your sales pages, your headlines, your business tweets, and all over your website — those are called copywriting. Or, “copy.”

They’re the words that sell.

And if you’ve been having trouble writing them so they sound like you and make people want what you have…

A few key changes to how you think about copy will change your business forever.

Good copy gives you the power to make more (impact, money, etc.) from doing what you love. It makes you stand out from competitors, and makes your message resonate with buyers. And it gives you more confidence to share what you’ve got with the people who need it.

And, I’m here to help.

The Copy Cure is brand new program that’s been in the works for years. I’ve developed it with one of the funniest and talented writers I know, Laura Belgray. It’s a self-study program that you can take at your own pace and it’s jam packed with practical tools to help you find your voice, sell with heart and write amazing, original copy — that actually sounds like you.

And, to celebrate its release, we’re holding one of our now legendary scholarship contests. If you’re familiar with my work, you know that I believe that talent is universal, opportunity is not.

That means that we make sure that everyone has the opportunity to learn and benefit from what we create, regardless of economics.

So yep, here’s a chance to join us for free. Check out the details below, and get to it. (Fast, because the deadline is THIS WEEK :).
