This is a great course for those who want to improve their copywriting skills,especially if you’re a beginner.
Alan will talk you through the most important parts of writing good headlines. You will not be disappointed.
If you decided to get this course, make sure you get part 1 and 3 as well. It’s an awesome series!
Rodney Ronquillo –
I learned quite a lot form this course. Many of the lessons do clear up some practices that I am aware about but haven’t any sort of an idea how they worked in the real world. I’ve currently landed a new job in Marketing Communications and copywriting is one of the skills that is desired. This course has helped me with how to get inspiration, ideas, how to structure copy and so forth that I will be applying both at my new job and also my businesses as well. A highly recommended course!
Constance –
Very informative, right-paced and easy-to-follow. Like having the examples that are given to illustrate each concept.
John Dole –
I already made quite a bit with copywriting. But my heads sucks. No matter how hard I tried, it never grabs the readers attention and I lost a ton of sales.
This course is everything that I needed. Or it has enough golden nuggets to mixed with existing other courses. This is also the only headlines course I can find. Its my biggest weakness.

What brought you here? (fill in the blank____)
I was looking for a new skill, I’ve no prior experience in copy at all, none. Yet once I took this course it gave me the knowledge I needed to start doing copy-writing, now I go onto research other people’s websites for practice and to gain another income.

Willie Chavis –
I love this series as it is very basic for someone like me who likes to write but has never thought about copywriting. I love his relaxed conversational tone and easy going nature. I have a better understanding of what copywriting is and am looking forward to the third part in this series.

It’s a great introductory course, at times it’s a bit too introductory for me, but it says it in the title, so that’s sort of just my view, I suppose.
