00:09that's created thousands of millionaires as someone with zero experience but first
00:15you should understand this after you hit your first thousand dollars it fast
00:19tracks you to 5k then 10k and beyond the hardest part is just getting started so
00:27that's why in this video I'm gonna give you a step-by-step guide with live
00:31examples of how to accomplish this there are gonna be three steps to today's
00:34guide and number one is how to use the timeless skill that's made me a
00:38millionaire and thousands of other people the same number two how you can use the
00:43cookbook method to become an expert at this skill in a much faster time frame
00:47and number three how to take this skill to a very well trusted website and make
00:52your first money with it so first of all what is this timeless skill well if you
00:57look around chances are you're gonna be able to spot it anytime you've opened an
01:01email watched an ad or clicked on a website you've experienced something
01:05called copywriting the reason it's a lot more timeless than any of these business
01:09models like social media marketing or Amazon FBA is that this skill has been
01:14around since the 16th century ever since people were literate this skill has been
01:19used to help people make money and since then the world hasn't looked back the
01:24people who write these powerful words copywriters get paid a lot and it makes
01:29sense if I could pay someone to open a Google Doc type some words in and they
01:34get me more money of course I'm gonna pay them this is an extensive skill that you
01:38should spend a lot of time learning but honestly you don't need a four-year
01:42degree to make your first 1k all you need is to be able to write a good enough
01:46level of copy to get your foot in the door and this is where the cookbook method
01:51comes in now I want you to understand this cookbook method so here's a quick
01:55metaphor how could someone who's never used a microwave end up being able to
02:00cook like Gordon Ramsay it's actually not that hard you can just buy his
02:06cookbook get all the ingredients follow it word by word and boom you're
02:10basically Gordon Ramsay now obviously I'm exaggerating you won't turn out
02:14exactly like Gordon Ramsay but the thing about copywriting is you don't need to be
02:19Gordon Ramsay in order to do it you don't need to have a degree you don't
02:23need to be the best in the world you just need to be good enough to get a
02:26return on investment for whoever you're working with so what is the
02:30cookbook for copywriting how do you get good at it very quickly and be able to
02:35make money with it your cookbook for copywriting is gonna be on a website
02:38called swiped.co what you're gonna do is basically rewrite the copy on this
02:43website so you'll find tons of examples of copy that you can look at you
02:47choose a piece of copy you get it up on your screen and then you open a document
02:51beside it a blank document and you start to rewrite the piece of copy that you
02:55see this might seem a bit stupid or weird or like why do I have to do this but
03:00when you do this you'll start to understand the structure of a successful
03:04piece of copy that persuaded a lot of people to buy something or do something
03:08and you'll start to notice little creative devices inside it that were
03:12persuasive like oh we said this thing or they said this thing and it worked
03:16really well and you'll just start to get like all these like eureka moments in
03:19your brain now let's run through this example with an email so what I'm gonna
03:23do is I'm actually going to rewrite the email that you see on screen and I'm
03:27going to rewrite it as though I'm working with a business owner who's gonna pay me
03:32to write copy for them so let's imagine we're writing this email for a client who
03:35sells a multivitamin supplement the beginning of it can be converted from what
03:39you see on the left to something like this first of all we list all the things that this
03:47supplement fixes the people reading this likely have those issues if they're on an
03:52email list for it and as a note here always break up lines into one or two sentences this
03:58makes it way easier on the eyes leading to your copy just being more effective next we talk about
04:05how you can only find that solution here this makes the reader more interested because they
04:10think well this isn't any other supplement that they could find at Walmart this is actually special
04:16okay so that's a basic example but now that you know how to use the cookbook method here which is a
04:21very versatile skill in the copywriting world you can also use this method in a bunch of different
04:25ways to get paid more but first you need to understand this now I'm a six-foot-one man so if I need to get
04:33Cheerios in my kitchen for example I just open the cupboard and take the Cheerios out however let's
04:39imagine I'm a different copywriting youtuber who's a little bit smaller and I'm not six one so if I
04:45need to get the Cheerios I have to get on this little chair here and you know crouch my way up this
04:51is a joke bro I got them my feet are sore let's say for this example that the Cheerios represent the
04:58clients that you want to get as a copywriter and so the chair represents a boost that you need to get
05:05to those clients but if you want to get to the clients as a copywriter how do you get that little
05:10chair that little boost well this is where Upwork comes in Upwork is a marketplace where freelancers
05:16and business owners can connect with each other and work together and if you can get really good at
05:21the next three steps I'm going to show you you'll understand how to make thousands of dollars on Upwork
05:26like many other people do the first step is something I talk about all the time and that's
05:30because it's so important you need to make the storefront look nice that's because when clients
05:36look at your profile they need to take you seriously so if you go to Upwork.com and click sign up as a
05:41freelancer it will bring you to this page I'm gonna run through this with you because there's a certain
05:46way to set it up if you want to get the best jobs in your feed so let's say we have some experience and
05:52then we'll say we're trying to earn our main income then you're gonna put email copywriter
05:59as your title after that you'll use the emails that you wrote using the copywriting cookbook method
06:05I recommend adding like six to eight emails the more you add the more likely you are to land clients
06:11and honestly you get eight emails done in an hour using this method now I'm just gonna skip to show you
06:16the rest of the process if you've any education or any diplomas you can add them here but I'm just
06:21gonna skip we'll say we speak fluent English and if you can by any chance write in fluent Spanish then
06:26good for you you can add that here as well and once we get here I recommend adding all the tags related
06:32to email copywriting like I do here then you get to add your bio this is important because potential
06:38clients are gonna see this and it could be the difference between getting paid and not getting
06:42paid so just like how you use the cookbook method before you're gonna use that here you can just copy
06:47this bio here if you want just make sure you actually change it because if a thousand people
06:51go and create the exact same upward profile you're going to get banned you won't be able to make any
06:56money with this method so you need to actually change this here and add a little bit of your
07:00own spice and next we're gonna go down here and we say we offer copywriting services then just set
07:07your rate at 50 I suggest you go for fixed rate jobs anyway then you need a good profile picture your
07:14face something that looks professional and simple quick tip for this if you can't find a good profile
07:20picture of yourself right now like if all you have is like selfies or you at like a parent's wedding or
07:25something like that you can look up AI headshot generators that will give you a professional profile
07:30picture in a couple of minutes okay now our profile is all set up it is time to land your first clients
07:36but there's one big problem almost all beginners using Upwork mess it up they apply for every job they see
07:43and they pick terrible clients and a lot of jobs don't pay well or the clients are bad at communicating
07:50but I'm going to show you how to make sure that you're not picking any bad eggs to work with you
07:54should also know it costs you something called connects which are Upwork's currency to apply for
08:00jobs you get a ton of them for free whenever you sign up but you don't want to waste these on applying
08:05for the wrong jobs so that's why you want to use these search settings to find the best clients
08:09possible so first we're going to just search for copywriting in the search bar then we'll go to
08:16this side panel here and select entry level and immediate this is very important you want jobs
08:22with a low amount of proposals because this means fewer people are applying and after that we're going
08:27to want clients who have verified payment as well as clients who have been hired before now in order to
08:33land these clients effectively you will need to write a cover letter and honestly none of this entire video
08:38matters if you don't do this step right so if we go to apply for this job here this is where we will
08:45type our cover letter then you can just use the cookbook method for this as well but we'll go through
08:50it so you can understand what we're saying each line so we're going to say something like hey Daniel
08:55I'm ready when you are send me a message and let's hop on a call to discuss PS in the attachment
09:00I've included some of my previous work as well so that you know what to expect from me
09:04have any more questions do not hesitate to contact me wishing you a great day your name here then you
09:10just go and repeat these steps I recommend you apply for as many good jobs per day as you can
09:16I would aim for at least 10 per day now becoming a freelance copywriter on Upwork is great for beginners
09:21and you can definitely make your first 1k in 14 days if you do everything right and you're actually
09:26good at what you do but if you want to make a living from this and not just make a thousand dollars
09:30but actually make 5 to 10k a month I think you should watch the video on screen where I give
09:35you an a to z guide on how to make 10k a month as a copywriter
