Course Description

Learn the key principles of effective writing, excel in four different types of copywriting, and become a top-quality, highly-paid writer.

Meaningful and result-driven copywriting is both an art and science. It must intrigue and captivate the reader, and also be methodical and meticulously crafted to achieve certain goals and outcomes. This Masterclass is packed with hands-on, step-by-step advice, tips and tricks that I have learned over more than a decade of working with different companies and clients, across industries and countries.

The course starts off with a Primer module, which discusses the fundamentals of effective writing, and common mistakes copywriters often make. It is then divided into 4 distinct Lessons; each Lesson covers a specific type of copywriting (Social media copywriting, website copywriting, PR copywriting and Thought Leadership copywriting), and how to become a pro in it. Lessons include assignments or case studies to help you put your knowledge into practice, and observe your various strengths and weaknesses.

If you wish to zero in to a specific type of copywriting, you can even directly jump to that Lesson. However, it’s a must to take the Primer session, as it will help you align your content flow better, and have the basics of copywriting out of the way.

This Masterclass is for copywriters and aspiring copywriters who want to write copy that generates results, and wish to make themselves invaluable for their employer, clients or customers. If you write for a living, and want to earn top money for your expertise, this course is for you.
