When you start any course, you likely have several burning questions that you'd like answered right away!
With that in mind, I'm going to take the first video of the course to answer the following questions for you:
- Is this course right for me?
- Is this course covering the right stuff?
- Are you the right instructor to learn from?
- Am I going to be bored?
In this video we'll do a comparison, where you'll discover the 3 unique elements that make The Copywriter's Brain different than other copywriting courses:
- It's visual - Instead of relying on dozens of dull PowerPoint slides or pages upon pages of boring blocks of text, you'll 'see' how the visual elements of The Copywriter's Brain contribute to an effective, memorable, and engaging learning experience.
- It's concise - You'll learn why less is more.
- It taps in the power of expression - One of the most powerful, untapped tools for positive change and growth is expression - I'll briefly explain what it is, why it's so awesome, and how you'll use it in the course to BECOME a great copywriter!
This short video gives you a brief overview of the course, what it includes, and the best way to use it.

The Spark is the largest visual element of the The Copywriter's Brain. Using color, context, and icons, it's designed to be a complete visual map of all the elements that make up the brain - something you can grab, review, and spark your recall and creativity when comes to writing great copy.
In this video, you'll:
- Get a tour of the Spark
- See how the Spark relates to the Library
When it comes to learning how to do something, words are obviously an important part of the entire process.
But nothing...and I mean nothing, compares to the level of clarity and understanding that comes from using visual learning tools.
In this video, we'll compare the functionality of the Spark to a the functionality of puzzle box, and examine how it is used in pretty much the same way - as a tool that you can review to instantly get a level of clarity and understanding about the BIG picture of the art of copywriting, so you see and know how all the pieces fit together.
The Library is the knowledge section of the The Copywriter's Brain - in contains all the copywriting strategies that form the foundation of thinking and writing like a world-class copywriter.
In this video, you'll:
- Get a brief walk-through of the various sections of the Library
- Become familiar with how the sections of the Library are organized
- Learn how to customize the Library with additional strategies and insights you'll discover on your own
Let me share with you a 'secret' I discovered about the tons of copywriting courses and books out there...
First, there are a lot of good ones with some pretty amazing ideas and insights.
But beyond some formatting, structure and personal style differences, they all contain pretty much the same information.
And quite frankly, when you set out to learn copywriting, it can get irritating and frustrating to learn the same copywriting strategy over and over again, and have to read 5 pages of text about something that could easily be explained in a single paragraph!
This is one of the main reasons I developed the Library section of The Copywriter's Brain.
In this video, you'll learn how the Library was designed to:
- Help you discover only the best of the best - You don't need to know every copywriting strategy known to man - only the best. The rest will come naturally. I'll show you examples of how this is done within the Library.
- Remove redundancy - I'll share with you the story behind the incredible amount of work and research went into creating the Library sections of the brain, and how all that hard work is going to translate into saving you time - hours, days, even weeks - along your journey to master the art of copywriting
- Cut the fluff - You'll see why the simplicity of the Library is one of the keys to helping you quickly think and write like a world-class copywriter
