Q1. Where are you from?
Philippines
Q2. How did you discover copywriting?
It was back in 2019 when I started my freelancing career, and one of my colleagues asked if I could work with them at their agency as a writer. Back then, I was not confident with my writing skills, and English was my second language. Furthermore, I always received bad critiques during English class in college, plus I stumbled every time I spoke the language, so I have to memorize all those words. And I took that personally. Hence, I developed a “no to writing” danger alert in mind. But she’s kinda different. She believes in my potential, which I think back then, was she okay or unaware to notice my incompetence? I took that opportunity and to return the favor, I studied as hard as possible and took loads of courses about writing to become better at it, and that’s where I met “copywriting” and the rest is history.
Q3. What forms of copy do you write?
Email, Sales Pages/Video Sales Page, Blogs, Social Media Copy
Q4. What are your favorite niches to write in?

Q5. What is the #1 lesson you've learned as a copywriter?

Q6. Who is your favorite copywriter & why?
Gary Bencivenga and Stefan Georgi because they are the best. (In my own opinion)
Q7. Do you have any recent wins to share?
