Q1. Where are you from?
UK but pretty much assimilated into Germany
Q2. How did you discover copywriting?
I was going through a mid-life crisis; marriage in tatters, self-esteem in the toilet, and started looking for a career change (from English teacher) to make more money and boost my self-esteem. I stumbled onto (or rather – I was targeted by) a make money online ad on YouTube and went down the affiliate marketing rabbit hole. Through that I discovered this thing called copywriting, realised I was already a decent writer so took some courses – thanks Alex Cattoni, Sean Ferres, Stefan Georgi – and the rest is history.
Q3. What forms of copy do you write?
Email, Facebook Ads, Websites, Short-form landing pages
Q4. What are your favorite niches to write in?
Personal development, make money online, leadership coaching, business coaching, marketing
Q5. What is the #1 lesson you've learned as a copywriter?
your copy isn’t your baby – don’t get too attached to your ideas – let the market speak for itself
Q6. Who is your favorite copywriter & why?
I don’t play favourites. I keep my eyes open for writers I can learn from – taking lessons wherever I find them.
Q7. Do you have any recent wins to share?
Sure. I just helped a client double the number of leads coming from her email list for a 3.5k coaching offer
Q8. What would you say to a prospective client who wants to hire you?
Cool. Let’s have a chat and figure out if I’m the guy to help you. I have a slot free on Tuesday afternoon if that works.
