Copywriting Course Review
The Comprehensive Copywriting Academy
For many aspiring copywriters, it's their dream to be able to quit the 9-5 and dedicate all their time to copywriting. I was no different. But there never seemed to be a good time. I had bills to pay and food to put on the table. And while that regular pay cheque sorted all that for me, it wasn't what I wanted to do with my life. My aim was to become a freelance copywriter.
I spent my days wistfully staring out of the window, thinking of sitting on the terrace of a French villa with a cappuccino in hand, gazing enthusiastically at a laptop screen and making enough money to support that perfect lifestyle as a freelance copywriter.
I decided to take the leap. There must be more to life than the standard eat, sleep, work, repeat that I was living. That was when I found the Comprehensive Copywriting Academy.
The course, hosted by Nicki Krawczyk, is an all-inclusive creative copywriter course that can push you from ground zero, right up to that ideal salary, all while you're gaining valuable writing experience, writing content and doing the thing you love most – copywriting.
Nicki hosts insightful online copywriting videos all with tips from experienced copywriters, provides helpful tools and practice content, and talks you through the journey she took herself, so you can put your faith in her proven methodology to start gaining potential clients. Nicki herself has spent the last 15 years working with numerous high-profile clients such as Adidas, Reebok and Trustpilot. She's an accomplished copywriter and coach and is just itching to share her knowledge and expertise with the next generation of Comprehensive Copywriters.
Before I found the CCA, I started from a place where I knew I had decent writing skills. I'd even tried my hand at some creative writing and ad copy before, but never professionally. But how hard could becoming a copywriter be? I had joined a couple of writing groups casually and met some fantastic freelance copywriters but with no formal training, nothing ever really came of it. It turned out that becoming a freelance copywriter is a lot more than just throwing some random Google AdWords at a page and hoping someone will click on a link.
Then one day, I saw Google ads for CCA. After watching a 5-minute video and scanning some online writing reviews, I was hooked. That says a lot about the course's worth in itself! They’ve really got their advertising techniques mastered if they can convince me, someone usually totally immune to advertising, to join their cause. I've never looked back.
