The Why, How and Who of This Course

Minute for minute, wizardry with words dependably earns more for you, for your company or for your clients than just about any other skill. If you're willing to roll up your sleeves and try your hand at practical assignments, in six weeks - or spaced out at your own pace - you'll have the fundamental principles of copywriting down cold and know many advanced techniques of orchestrating words for profit.

Instruction and Assignments Kicked Me Into High Gear
"Your copywriting course helped me considerably. Shortly after I finished the last class, I secured my first copywriting client. Applying the techniques I learned, the copy I wrote for this client was concise, to the point and well-received. He now wants me to help him with a whole new marketing program for a separate service in his business. Thanks, Marcia!" - Kevin Worthley, West Kingston, RI

Like all the testimonials on this site, the customer comments on this page were provided without compensation, incentives or rewards.

Two things are unique about this course. First, each week you grapple with hands-on challenges that require you to apply copywriting concepts to real-life business offerings. You get to see how others handled the challenges in the assignment as well as my version of the new copy.

Build proficiency fast through the combination of theory in the instructional materials you receive and practice through the weekly assignments.

Second, unlike every other copywriting course I know of, you have the opportunity to practice both corporate-style assignments for mainstream businesses (promotional writing that is lively and relatively free of jargon) and direct-response copy suitable for postal or online sales letters. Indeed, we talk about a range of copywriting styles and how to choose a tone that fits a certain target market and company ethos.

Many other copywriting teachers out there strongly argue that nothing counts except whether or not the copy increases response. Though I agree that counts heavily, I put equal stock in truthfulness and a fit with the expectations and values of the audience. (For more on this, see my article, "Telltale Signs of Hype.")

Course Was a Gateway to Success for This Working Copywriter
"After taking your Masterful Copywriting course, I revised three web pages for a real estate website company. They liked my work so much they are now recommending me exclusively as their copywriter. Thank you for providing the training I needed to take my persuasive writing skills to the next level." - Kathy Goughenour, Marketer for the Real Estate Industry, WeMarketYouProfit.com

My course gets those with no prior copywriting experience quickly up to speed on the fundamentals, so that it suits two situations: beginners who want an intensive marketing writing practicum; and those with experience in business writing who could use a focused review and rapid improvement in their ability to get results from words.

If you're not familiar with my work, please poke around this site and read reviews of my books on Amazon.com and elsewhere. I'm known for an intelligent and ethical approach to marketing writing, I've had books in print from major publishers since 1988, and my copywriting experience includes most major industries and professions from urologists to auto parts recyclers to software entrepreneurs, from nonprofits to financial services to lingerie.

Generous, Absorbing, Effective, Provocative and Worthwhile
"With its many before and after examples, and the great dialogue that each lesson stimulates, the course does an awesome job at demystifying marketing copy. The step-by-step approach allows even experienced writers to focus on the key elements that make for a persuasive pitch. I still can't get over all the extras that you've included. It's one of the best professional investments I've made in a while. Thanks, Marcia, for such a powerful course." - Patricia Rivera, Owner, BilCom, Inc.

Based on a live, interactive course with a small group of students, the home-study course includes all this for $497: A paperback book on persuasive writing; a detailed PDF copywriting manual; handouts and homework assignments for each of six lessons; CD recordings of the six lessons; completed homework by one or more participants, along with my version of the assignments; and answers to all questions submitted by the course participants. It comes with a money-back guarantee.

NEW: You also receive transcripts of all the CD recordings.

What You Learn in the Copywriting Course

The course provides plenty of practice in how to analyze poorly written or misdirected sales copy, and what to add, take away or change to improve its effectiveness. You end the course with a much richer ability to turn words into leads and orders, along with a deeper understanding of the nuances of words. Among the points you absorb:

Whether cute and catchy is more powerful than simply factual, or vice versa

Two techniques that bring even the most complicated abstract concept down to earth

Questions that help you tell whether or not you've dug down far enough to reach the advantages that make the greatest difference to buyers

Ways to make copy that's already full of appealing benefits even more targeted

Integrity, Reliability and Greater Breadth Than Other Courses
"Marcia Yudkin is an ethical copywriter - a rare quality these days. When you take this course, you’ll be learning proven skills and powerful ways to write and persuade, not how to pack your copy with hype. Best of all, in my view, you learn a broad range of copywriting skills, from writing a hard-hitting sales letter to crafting an informative company brochure. This breadth of copywriting skill will serve you well when it comes to finding work and building your portfolio. Highly recommended." - Nick Usborne, Publisher, Excess Voice
