The One Top Copywriting Skill For The Fu...

David Garfinkel
About this episode
With the rapid spread of AI, will there even be a future for copywriters? Both new and experienced copywriters are plagued by that same question. And it’s a good question. Because there are plenty of solid arguments that go like this: With the rapid growth of AI, soon there won’t be any need for human copywriters. And in some cases, that’s 100% true. The good news is, there are also some powerful counter-arguments that say there will definitely be a need for copywriters, and still some great opportunities to make a lot of money. But there’s a catch: If you want to survive, you’re going to have to learn some important new skills that only the top-of-the-crop copywriters needed in the past. Culminating in one top skill that no AI will ever be able to attain. I’ve figured out what they are - the lead-up skills, and the one top skill - and I’m going to share them with you, in detail, today. Now I’ll spend a lot of time mentioning my mentoring, and I just want to say it’s not for everybody. You need to be more advanced than a beginner in your freelance copywriting career, or in your business. Most of my new clients are already at the six-figure level. I’ve found those are the people I can help the most, and they’re also the people who can get an immediate return on their investment. So if you’re interested, I do have one or two spots coming open by the fall. Please visit my website to read about the mentoring and then apply if this is something you really want to do.
