Finding a "real" job isn't easy. But more copywriters and content writers are interested in trying. In this episode of The Copywriter Club Podcast, I spoke with Copy Chief Matt Snyder who has hired lots of copywriters over the past couple of years. He shared the mistakes copywriters are making and what it takes to get the attention of a hiring manager. Even if you don't want a "real" job, what Matt shares in this episode will help you connect with high-paying clients and land more work. Click the play button below, or scroll down for a full transcript.   Stuff to check out: Matt's newsletter Matt's LinkedIn The Copywriter Club Facebook Group The Copywriter Underground   Full Transcript: Rob Marsh:  Want to land a real job as a copywriter or content writer? It's not easy. But help is on the way. This is The Copywriter Club Podcast. Most of the listeners to this podcast are freelancers or contract writers. If you're like them, you generally work on projects or retainers for a variety of clients. And you're good at it. But some writers crave the stability that comes with a regular job—either part-time or full-time—with an actual employer paying wages and maybe even providing benefits. A handful of freelancers I've worked with over the years have dipped their toes into the corporate world to work primarily for a single client, or for those who are looking for part-time jobs, have landed work that provides some security and regular income to go along with the unpredictabilty of freelancing.  But finding those jobs isn't easy. They're out there for sure, but within hours of a copywriting or content writing job posting on LinkedIn or any other job board, the hiring managers receive hundreds of applications. Getting found in that slush pile isn't easy—even for the very best writers. Recently in The Copywriter Underground, I invited a friend of mine who worked for decades as a job placement specialist for creatives, to share her best advice for copywriters looking for “real” jobs. That training is inside The Underground now. When I announced we would be hosting that training, another copywriter, Matt Snyder, reached out to offer his advice. Matt is the Head Copywriter at a digital agency and works with a team of five or six writers. He hires a lot. And he sees a ton of applications, resumés and other creative attempts to get his attention. So when he offered, I suggested we record our discussion and share it here on the podcast. That's what this episode is. Now, I know I said this is about getting hired to real job with a company. But everything Matt shares is applicable to getting hired by freelance clients as well. I think every copywriter, every content writer, and every freelancer writer who listens to this episode will get a lot from what Matt has to say. So stay tuned. As usual, this episode is brought to you by The Copywriter Underground. We're talking about getting work today, so I should probably mention the resources available in The Underground that will help you do that. Starting with the workshop with my friend, Jessica, the placement specialist. Her advice will make a difference if you're applying for what we tend to refer to as “real” jobs. We also have workshops from experts like Laura Belgray who shares how you can stop waiting in line and “duck under” the velvet ropes holding you back. And Parris Lampropoulos who shared the exact pitch he used to get his first five clients, then how he went on to double his income every year for the next five years—do the math, that's a lot. There's also our in-house training about ways to find clients and an entire course on sales. Plus dozens of other workshops, templates, copy critiques, monthly coaching, and more.

I was checking our back episodes because I swear we've had you on the podcast before and turns out we haven't.

Writing Video Sales Letters is an art. It's not enough to simply record someone reading a regular sales page. They depend more on stories and keeping listeners engaged because you can't afford to lose your viewer's attention. In the 436th episode of The Copywriter Club Podcast, I spoke with Svet Dimitrov about this challenge and he shared why you need to take a different approach when writing VSLs. We covered a lot more than that, so click the play button below, or scroll down for a full transcript.   Stuff to check out: Svet's LinkedIn Svet's Facebook The Copywriter Club Facebook Group The Copywriter Underground   Full Transcript: Rob Marsh:  If you applied for 200 different projects or jobs, each time sending a new cover letter with your pitch, I imagine you would learn a thing or two about what works and what doesn't work in the application process. That's what Svet Dimitrov, my guest on this episode of the podcast, did. But that's not even the reason I asked Svet to join me on the podcast. I heard another copywriter talking about how Svet is one of the best VSL copywriters in the world today—VSLs are video sales letters and they're different from regular sales letters because you can't afford to lose your viewer's attention ever. We talk about that in this episode and what you can do to improve your own VSL writing skills. If you want to write VSLs, don't skip this episode. We also talked about Svet's contrarian advice that copywriters—especially copywriters who are just starting out—should not have a website. Obviously, that's not the way most of us think. Websites are there to build credibility and help clients see the various ways we can help them. But Svet argues, and I think I agree, that there is a better approach that connects personally with your prospects. You may want to stick around to here what Svet does. As you might expect, this episode is brought to you by The Copywriter Underground. I've completely rebuilt the content vault to make it more useable and useful and in the process I've added more than 70 differnt  workshops to it. And there are even more coming.  Workshops taught by expert copywriters like Parris Lampropoulos, Joanna Weibe, Stefan Georgi, Jack Forde, Chanti Zak, Laura Belgray and dozens of others. And it's not just copywriters, we've got marketing experts teaching how to build funnels, how to market using tools like Linkedin and Pinterest, how to put yourself in the right mindset to succeed and so much more. And that's just the workshops. There are dozens of templates, a community of like-minded writers holding each other accountable, and monthly coaching with me. It's time you joined us inside. Learn more at thecopywriterclub.com/tcu And now, my interview with Svet Dimitrov… Svet, I'm thrilled to be able to chat with you. I'd love to start just by hearing how you got where you are. How did you become a copywriter? Before we started recording, I mentioned that I've heard your name because people have said you are one of the best VSL copywriters in the world right now. So how'd you get there? Svet Dimitrov: Thank you first for inviting me, Rob. It's a pleasure to be here. And yeah, my story goes back, I would say, probably Probably by the time I was doing my master's degree actually, I was really struggling. That was 2009-2010 to finish my master's thesis. And I did read, so this was in the era when you couldn't find a lot of stuff on Google. So I had to sift through a ton of pages, I think I went to like the 10th page of Google, which probably nobody goes there these days, just to find, just to do research. But I think that's when I really started to understand that research is really important. I appreciate it, love the game, although I was struggling to find a good way to express my thoughts in my master thesis. And I think I sift through like maybe 10 physical books. Then I mentioned research on Google. I think I probably went through more than 100 PDF...

It's pretty common to hear copywriters recommend that you study old sales pages and even sales emails, but what about old magazine ads? The kind that are printed on paper in actual periodicals? Today, where so much advertising happens online or in your social media feed, Ad writing is a bit of a lost art form. But that doesn't mean we can't learn from it. In the 435th episode of The Copywriter Club Podcast, I interviewed Lewis Folkard who breaks down old ads for his newsletter readers. And he shared what copywriters have to learn from his approach. Click the play button below, or scroll down for a full transcript.   Stuff to check out: Lewis' Website The Olive Ad Breakdown The Silk Cut ad The Copywriter Club Facebook Group The Copywriter Underground   Full Transcript: Rob Marsh:  Copywriters seem to revere old books by Eugene Schwartz and Vic Schwab. But what about old ads? This is The Copywriter Club Podcast. If you've been a copywriter for more than a few weeks, you've probably heard other more experienced copywriters mention books like Breakthrough Advertising by Eugene Schwartz, How to Write an Advertisement by Victor Schwab or Tested Advertising Methods by John Caples. They make up a large part of the official cannon of copywriting. In fact, David Ogilvy once said no one should be allowed to write a single word of copy until they had finished reading Caple's book seven times. Of course there are new books that ought to be added… books by Joe Sugarman, Ann Handley and Matthew Dix.  In addition to books, there are a lot of copywriters who like to study old sales pages. They create swipe files full of them. I do this. My swipe file has more than 1,000 differnent sales pages I've collected over the last decade. Some copywriters even suggest you hand write sales pages as part of your learning. I don't go that far, but I think you can learn a lot by studying the persuasion techniques that copywriters have used in their work. But what about ads? One page with an image, headline, and a few lines of copy?  Are they worth studying? And what can we learn from them? My guest on this episode is Lewis Folkard. Lewis has made a bit of a name for himself by picking old print ads from advertising award books, analyzing them, and writing about why they are effective or not. Lewis' breakdowns are more than interesting reading, they're mini-lessons on copywriting, attention-getting and persuasion. He told me why he does it and how it's impacted his business in this interview. Stick around to hear what he had to say. As you might expect, this episode is brought to you by The Copywriter Underground. I've mentioned that I've been rebuilding the content vault and adding a ton of additional workshops to it. Workshops taught be expert copywriters like Parris Lampropoulos, Joanna Weibe, Stefan Georgi, Jack Forde, Chanti Zak, Laura Belgray and dozens of others.

Learn more at thecopywriterclub.com/tcu And now, my interview with Lewis Folkard… Lewis, welcome to the podcast. I would love to hear your story and how you became a copywriter. Lewis Folkard: Okay, well, I mean, I guess a lot of copywriters say very similar things in the sense that I feel like I've always had an interest in people and communications. I mean, some of the earlier nonfiction books that I read were kind of about human psychology and communications. I think there was a How to Win Friends and Influence People and another one by Brian Tracy, I believe. But I was young and just always enjoyed learning about how the human mind works and...

Send us a textAre you diving into inner work and big goals for the new year? Or are you, like my guest, perfectly fine just “being the fucking worst”?Here's the truth: New year, same you. Author, copywriting expert, and unapologetically lazy human Laura Belgray is here to show us how embracing our flaws can be inspiring.Being “the worst” doesn't mean being an awful criminal—it's more like being flaky, selfish, or unreliable. And Laura says that's okay. Stop apologizing for it.Her first book, Tough Titties, is a coming-of-age romp her husband calls Loser Sex in the City. It's packed with raw, funny stories—like giving up the crazy of dieting (without becoming a “love-my-body-no-matter-what” person), her “Blowjobs to Undeserving Men” phase, and even joining a culty self-help group.Laura's proof it's never too late—she hit her first million at 50. She's no visionary or business guru, just someone who embraced being good enough.As a child-free adult, she also talks about living outside the world's obsession with motherhood—no kids, no pets, no plants. Just you.For Laura, being “the worst” turned out to be the best. So lean into yourself, let people be disappointed, and remember: life's standards are made up—live yours your way.What's Inside:Embrace being the worst.You don't have to be a business guru to make a million dollars.Laura Belgray's book, Tough TittiesShutting down the world's obsession with motherhood.Be disappointing…who cares!The year may have changed, but you're still the same you. If you're kinda lazy, kinda selfish, and that's working for you... Girl, live your life. So are you putting down the goal list and embracing being the fucking worst?

Welcome back to the Finding the Throughline interview with Laura Belgray, author of the national bestseller Tough Titties, a collection of essays that is essentially a permission slip to be a dork, a sometimes-unspiritual slacker, a late bloomer and, ultimately, unapologetically you. Laura is the founder of Talking Shrimp and co-creator of The Copy Cure with Marie Forleo. She has been featured in Elle, Fast Company, and Business Insider, and has written for Bravo, HBO, Nick at Nite, VH1, and more. Today, we find out what's currently brewing for Laura and what she knows at this moment about where her personal throughline is leading her next, as well as what kinds of things she's been reading, watching and listening to lately We covered: • Crawling out of a pit of despair after the election results • Continuing to build her email list in the modern world where there are so many more things vying for our attention • How she is not a visionary or planner—yet has achieved many amazing things anyway • David Sedaris as the author who first introduced her to a genre/structure of book that is a collection of essays and also memoir. • Her love of fiction and lack of confidence she will be able to write one someday, though she would love to • How she would love to win Powerball so she could write whatever she wants • How she wouldn't have written a fraction of what she'd written if she didn't write as a way to eat and make money • Margot's Got Money Troubles by Rufy Thorpe--the last book that she could not put down. • Spaghettini pomodoro at Scarpetta, with plenty of extra butter Connect with Laura at talkingshrimp.com.

Welcome back to the second part of my conversation with guest Laura Belgray, author of “Tough Titties,” a hilarious, bestselling collection of NYC-flavored life lessons that Laura's own husband calls a “loser Sex and the City.” Today I'm talking with Laura about what I call inner stuff–the thoughts, ideas, and attitudes that affect your work, even if you're not fully conscious of it We covered: • How writing a book was one of the hardest things she's ever done professionally • The tough feedback her editor initially gave her • The aftermath of the criticism that led to crying, pacing, and writer's block • A friend's metaphor of mountain climbing helped her to start working on her book • The experience of dealing with anxiety and people pleasing tendencies when writing a memoir • The dangers of self-comparison which can lead to despair and nonproductivity • Learning to borrow from authors she loves without trying to be them or feel disappointed because she doesn't have the exact same talents they have in the same way Connect with Laura at talkingshrimp.com.

Being a CEO is no joke. If you are running a business, you are a CEO. You may not think of yourself that way, but when you're a CEO, you must learn specific skills to make the business grow and remain healthy and strong. Today's guest Sena Wheeler has the best story about the one skill she doubled down on to increase her revenue to keep her family's business afloat. And it's something she still uses every single day. Her family's mission is to make sure that we get really healthy, pristine, beautiful food, specifically fish on our plates. It was on an eight-hour drive to Thanksgiving dinner, where she was talking to her husband and suggested how to market his fishing business, and he reeled her in.  It was a good fit; Sena had studied onboard handling techniques that correlated to flavor and quality attributes. She knew how to market the Copper River salmon he was catching. “I took [Marie Forleo and Laura Belgray's] B-School and just set up the business while we had the site going, and we were selling fish by the time he left for Alaska. … So it was actually like a pretty, pretty fast,” says Sena. “And if it hadn't gone fast, I think I probably would have overthought it.” Sena says that first summer was a lot of trial and error. There were weeks where Sena was tempted to quit, but she says her husband telling her, “You're the CEO” helped change her mindset. She would ask herself, “what would a CEO do?” when she felt like she wanted to quit.  “It forced me to be like, have we exhausted every avenue? Is there something else to try? Let's try this.” She started writing emails for her small but growing list every other week.  “I would get like $500 of sales on an email,” says Sena. “Very early on, I could see that that was the needle that's making the business move, you know, when not many other things are.” She leaned into writing and did The Copy Cure. It took a bit of time. Sena says when you're writing to a list there are levers, how good the email is and how many people are on the list.  “My best emails, I sit down to write one thing, and I write something else, and something else just comes out and, and it just starts going in a new direction,” says Sena, who finds consistency in imperfection. Getting a first draft done, even a terrible one, is better than not writing at all. Now she's sending emails every Monday and started a Fish Friday email, which is a recipe and link to the featured fish.  “I'm going to say like 30% of the time, I'm like, ‘oops, well, this is the email that came out. So this is what we're doing.' ” Sena says she sets a challenge for herself to see what she can tie back to her business when she writes. Writing helped open the door for people to understand where their food is coming from and that connection provides value.  “When we have kids over, I'm going to feed them fish, right? …  I will talk about Rich and how he caught it. And maybe my kid's right there. They were out on the boat, too,” says Sena. “Just bringing that connection immediately changes how they how they perceive the food.” Connect with Sena Wheeler and download free cookbook: https://www.senasea.com  The Copy Cure: https://www.marieforleo.com/the-copy-cure  Other GoG episodes you might want to check out: How to Write Sales Copy That Sells https://sarahwalton.com/how-to-write-sales-copy/ How to Use ChatGPT Without Losing Your Personality https://sarahwalton.com/how-to-use-chat-gpt/    Does Your Story Matter?

This week my guest is Laura Belgray, author of the national bestseller Tough Titties: On Living Your Best Life When You're the F-ing Worst. Laura is also an internet-famous copywriter, founder of Talking Shrimp, and co-creator, with Marie Forleo, of The Copy Cure. Laura started her writing career at Spy Magazine, New York Magazine, and then VH1 before starting her own copywriting and teaching business almost by accident. That business went on to earn a million dollars the year she turned 50–an achievement Laura wrote about for “Business Insider.” Fun fact: Laura taught Sherman Helmsley, aka George Jefferson from The Jeffersons, how to moonwalk. We covered: • How she finagled a job for herself that involved her watching a lot of TV (one of her favorite things to do) • Why getting paid to ‘'write emails to friends'' is her dream job • How inspiration comes from writing--not the other way around • The magical powers of writing on the fly • Her morning routine which includes iced coffee, a walk outside, and dicking around • The website she swears by to get her writing every day • How she deals with bouts of talker's block on social media Connect with Laura at talkingshrimp.com.

“Sometimes it's easy to take feedback to mean that your story's broken when it's not.” - Savannah GilboI'm taking you behind the scenes with me throughout my entire work week! You'll see how I plan my days, what projects I work on, what I learn from the writers I work with, and so much more! Here's a preview of what's included:[01:48] Sunday Update - This week will be a mixed bag. I'm taking a 2-day online course from Laura Belgray, who's sharing a behind-the-scenes look at her most recent book launch. The other fun thing I'm doing is giving a presentation for ProWritingAid's Romance Writers Week. Also, the third Crescent City book from Sarah J. Maas comes out this week, and I am so excited to read that. [06:48] Monday Update - Today, there are two big things I need to do: craft some emails for the Women In Publishing Summit, which I'm speaking at in March. The other big thing I'm working on is growing my email list and one of the ways I'm planning to do that is to be a guest on as many other writing podcasts as possible. [11:08] Tuesday Update - I'm coaching a writer who is working on two stories at once. Working on two projects at once would be hard for most people to handle. However, because this author has two novels in different stages of the process, it allows her to use different parts of her brain on different days.[16:33] Wednesday Update - The virtual class that Laura Belgray is hosting is about how she launched her book, Tough Titties, and it was awesome. I also have a little bit of a selfish reason for wanting to see what she did because I have a book coming out later this year, and I'm hoping to learn from what Laura did so that I can have a great book launch myself. [21:03] Thursday Update - It's so easy to second-guess ourselves when it comes to mapping out or outlining our stories. There are so many decisions to be made. If you are a student of my Notes to Novel class, you can submit your loglines for me to review during any of our Q&A calls. If you don't know what a logline is, it's essentially a 1-2 sentence summary of your story—and you can craft it before you've even outlined or written a single word of your book. [28:57] Friday Update - I am writing a book and it's an analysis of the first Harry Potter book. It's a craft book for writers that's going to dig into the big picture and the small picture to find out why and how this story works so well. This project is something I started 5+ years ago, and it got shelved for various reasons but is now coming back into the spotlight. Links Mentioned In This EpisodeEpisode #54: How to Test an Idea Before Writing the First DraftEpisode #94: How to Reveal Your Character's Inner Life on the PageEpisode #102: 3 Common Interiority Mistakes (and How to Fix Them)Waitlist: Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone Analysis Guide Click here to get 15% off a 30+ page manuscript report from The Spun Yarn's beta readers!

We are thrilled to share part 2 of our podcast with Tough Titties author Laura Belgray. If you have years of your life you would prefer to forget, relationships or lifestyle choices that make you cringe when you look back at them, Laura will empower you to reframe your life story, and possibly share it with others. As Laura says, what is the fun in reading about other people's success, when you can read about the juicy details of their struggles before they finally made it. After laughing your way through the chapters of Laura's life, go to Talkingshrimp.com, where Laura will teach you how to write copy that people actually want to read. Laura has classes and online materials that teach you how to write email lines that people want to open, and how to stop boring people with your writing.

It's open books all the way with these two TMI queens and their no-holds-barred, hilarious ways. They're the perfect duo to break my 6-month hiatus from the show. What a hoot to be back with three-time New York Times best-selling memoirist Jenny Lawson (Broken, Furiously Happy, and Let's Pretend This Never Happened) and her blogtastic comedic twin, Laura Belgray, joining us here while on book tour for her debut memoir, the national bestseller, Tough Titties: On Living Your Best Life when You're the F-ing Worst.Y'all, this one's a mood booster! And a total love match, as you'll see. If you're in the mood to laugh and shake off the funk from your Doomscrolling, this is the show for you.This may be Laura's first book, but she's one of the most successful career writers I know, starting in TV writing for NBC, HBO, USA, Nick at Night, Nickelodeon, TV Land, VH1, and others. Let's just say the girl gets around. Her blog and newsletters at Talking Shrimp are wildly popular (addictive!), as are her programs, like Inbox Hero and The Copy Cure, Laura's creation with Marie Forleo.Join us as we dig into wisdom on crafting headlines, run-on sentences that hypnotize, avoiding husbands as beta readers, and how having children is like living with an undercover agent tapping all your phones. We also dish on hiding during Zoom calls, editing drunk, getting mailed boxes of dildos in the mail (like you do), blowjobs Laura gave in the early 90s, titties that grow back after reduction surgery, and the ghost living under Jenny's house.I'm so happy you're here. Write on!PS. This convo was such a blast that I RAN back into the recording studio to cover a new topic here—Self-Publishing—with two clients who've made millions via self-publishing (which brought the big publishers to them). You'll want to emulate our strategies, whether you're self-pubbing or not!
