Looking on the internet for a copywriting course can be a nightmare.
There are too many to know where to start. One way to approach it is to list the criteria you want to get from the course and just look at websites. This takes time but can be done.
I have researched various courses and what they have to offer. Before you make a decision on what course, think about what you want from the course.
What suits you might not be what someone else is looking for. It is more about what do you want to do after the course.
To learn copy writing skills and make it your new career as a free lance copywriter you are going to have to make sure you learn from the best and complete full hands on course where you have a tutor marking your work.
If you want to create one sales page for your own site there are plenty of books that are available and you could get enough information from them and by going on to forums.
Criteria for copywriting courses:
• The person producing the course must have had experience and proven themselves in the field of copywriting. It is easy enough to Google their name and it is worth doing the research. A good reputation is very important.
• Do they provide a work book or PDF files that you can print off; it is handy to have a hard copy that you can refer to easily. If you prefer learning with videos are they available?
• Do you have access to a swipe file that you can use?
• Have you any way of communicating with other people, is there a forum that you can ask questions and become part of. The opportunity to become part of a community is a huge benefit
• Is there any ongoing support if you need help?
• Can you do the course at your own pace, is there plenty of time? You do not want to feel under any pressure.
• Is there any form of guarantee if you find that the course is not for you?
Courses vary greatly in price, often it comes down to getting what you pay for so if you want to become a full time copywriter learn from the best.
