Web copy that clients are very likely to need in today’s marketplace…We’ll begin with a solid (and necessary) foundation in web copy…
BONUS Session to Get You Started:
The Fundamentals of Writing and Optimizing Website Copy
Since 1998, Nick Usborne has focused exclusively on marketing online. He is internationally recognized as a leading expert writing for the Web. His online copy clients include Disney, John Deere, The Getty Trust, the U.S. Navy, The New York Times, America Online, and Intuit.
After hosting Web Copy Intensive for the past 10 years, we understand how important it is to help you get a firm foundation in web copy basics. There’s just no getting around it.
However, we also learned that “basic training” takes time away from the more advanced information and techniques you need to really serve your clients.
That’s why — this year — we’re doing things a bit differently.
To ensure you build the proper foundation in web copy right away, we’ll grant you immediate access to a pre-event session attendees were given to ensure everyone arrived at the live event with a solid foundation in writing web copy.
In this exclusive, bonus foundational video and audio course about the fundamentals of web writing, Nick Usborne will:
- Quickly get you up to speed with the crucial differences between writing for print and writing for the Web.
- Show you how to impress your clients by writing effective homepages, information pages, sales pages, and more…
- Give you an inside look at the most important strategies he’s developed, including 22 master-level optimization tips for website pages, emails, and e-newsletters.
- And much more!
Considering all you’ll learn from Nick, this additional 6-hour fundamental training is like receiving an extra day of Web Copy Intensive — absolutely free!
When you’re finished, you’ll feel fully prepared to jump right into your first Web Copy Intensive event training video…
Web Copy Project #1: Funnels
Let me explain how a “funnel” concept applies to web writing…
Basically, a “funnel” is all the pieces of web copy a prospect sees when making a buying decision. This includes the copy on the form where they enter their email address… all the way to the checkout page. Most funnels even include a follow-up process such as emails.
What this means for you, the writer, is a lot more projects… and higher overall fees. Just think about the fees I mentioned earlier…
- $75-$350 for each Pay-Per-Click (PPC) ad…
- $950-$3,000 per landing page…
- $150-$1,000 per email in a follow-up series…
With just a small funnel that includes only these three essential pieces, you can easily charge each client $1,175 to $4,350!
Can you see how quickly your web writing fees can compound when you focus on several types of copy and build entire funnels?
And, who better to teach you than the funnel master himself: Ryan Deiss…

Over the past 36 months, Ryan and his team have invested more than $15,000,000 on marketing tests and generated tens of millions of unique visitors.

- How to craft a selling system to transform strangers into rabid buyers.
- How to build an 8-step “Value Journey” that predictably and profitably turns strangers into friends, friends into customers, and customers into raving fans.

So, no matter which type of clients you work with… B2C or B2B, you’ll know how to produce effective funnel copy that gets you hired again and again.
Web Copy Project #2: Pay-Per-Click (PPC) Ads
PPC ads are one of the most valuable forms of web copy…
At a rate of $75-$350 per 95-character ad, it’s easy to see why. (That’s shorter than a tweet! And, if you like instant feedback and measurable results, you’ll love writing these short simple web copy projects.)
So, what are PPC ads? They’re the ads that appear right at the top of a search engine’s results page. If you do a quick search on Google, you’ll immediately see several examples. Here’s a screenshot showing PPC ads from Google, which you may already recognize as, “Google AdWords”:
When it comes to PPC ads, your fees don’t end with $75-$350 per ad. Here are two powerful ways to help your client… and earn steady, repeating income for yourself:
- Create a Full PPC Campaign. This involves putting together all the creative for a PPC campaign… keyword research, 10 different ads, a landing page, the welcome page, and a welcome email. Fee: $1,000-$2,500 per campaign
- Manage a Pay-Per-Click Campaign. You can also manage the entire process on an ongoing basis. This includes placing, managing, and continually testing the PPC ads, and then tweaking the copy as needed. Your monthly fee will depend on how many ads your client is running, but you can expect $500-$6,000 per month (or 15% of PPC ad fees spent by client).
Now, you can see why PPC ads are such a desirable (and profitable) entry point for working on all types of web copy…

Web Copy Project #3: Business Emails
When it comes to web copy, emails are one of the most effective ways for businesses to stay in contact with existing and prospective buyers.
Did you know that 72% (7 of 10) of consumers prefer to be contacted by email?
What’s even more surprising is 28% of personal emails are transactional, meaning consumers opted in to receive them.
Last year, email marketing was the most effective digital marketing channel for customer retention in the United States (per the Chief Marketing Officer Council).
Now, you can see why email writing presents such a rewarding writing opportunity. Just look at the interesting (and profitable) types of projects you might do:
- Stand-Alone Emails. Reach out and grow sales with special promotions, invitations, and more. $250-$2,000 per email
- Autoresponder Emails (Also known as a “Follow-up Series”). Deepen customer relationships and/or drive follow-up purchases. $150-$1,000 per email
- E-newsletter/E-zine. Maintain customer loyalty with regular issues filled with tips and offers. $800-$1,500 per issue. (Plus, e-newsletters are sent a minimum of once a month… which means recurring, steady pay for you!)

This year, we’re bringing in the best-of-the-best, Brian Clark, to quickly get you up to speed!
Content Marketing Beyond Blogging with Brian Clark
Brian Clark is a serial entrepreneur based in Boulder, Colorado. He’s the founder and CEO of Rainmaker Digital, the company behind Copyblogger, StudioPress, Rainmaker FM, and the Rainmaker Platform.
Brian began publishing online in 1998. Within one year, he had his first entrepreneurial success — powered by what is now known as content marketing. He went on to launch two additional offline businesses using purely online marketing and infrastructure, attaining even greater success.
Rainmaker Digital never took any venture capital, and the company made it to eight-figures in annual revenue without advertising. It was the Copyblogger audience that provided the catalyst for the multimillion-dollar digital commerce company he heads today. And it’s this success that’s made Brian one of the most recognized pioneers of the content marketing industry.
Brian will reveal (for the first time) his process for developing a winning content marketing strategy for any niche or industry.
His simple three-step process will go beyond a passive lecture. He’ll actually give you his hands-on “who-what-how” method so you can use it over and over for yourself and your clients.
You’ll discover:
- A tried-and-true approach to understanding exactly whom your ideal prospect is. Plus, how to identify the “hot buttons” that will propel them to click the “buy” button.
- The “mythical” method for knowing what information your prospect needs to choose your product or service — and exactly when they need to receive it.
- The creative copywriting approach that allows you to craft messages exactly how the prospect needs to “hear” that information.
When Brian is finished, you’ll be able to develop an effective content marketing strategy that positions you as a valuable ally to your clients.
Web Copy Project #5: Social Media
I bet you’re already quite familiar with social media. So, let’s look at how this popular and high-paying area of web copywriting will help you expand your entire writing business…
First, check out what Nick Usborne (one of the most successful web writers on the entire planet, whom I introduced you to earlier) had to say:
“Compared to other online writing and copywriting gigs, social media writing is incredibly easy.”
How come?
“Because you do it already! You’re already a social media writer and marketer. Whether you use Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, YouTube, or some other social media channel, you already know how it works.”
Here are a few social media projects you might be asked to handle for your clients:
- Social Media Setup: Create an inviting page with robust “About” content. $500 per setup
- Social Media Management: Facebook, Twitter, and More: Consistently grow your client’s social media audience with posting, and monitoring 1-2 hours per day, 5 days per week. $1,000-$2,000 per month… that’s $100-$200 per hour!
- Social Media Ad Campaign: Attract Likes, Shares, and conversions with super-targeted social ads. $500 per campaign
And, get this: Most social media writing is needed on an ongoing, monthly basis. That’s why this project can easily bring you full-time pay for part-time work.
For instance, managing just four social media accounts could pay $4,000 to $8,000 per month — in recurring income. (Assuming you charge the industry standard rate of $1,000 to $2,000 per month for each account.)
Which is amazing enough… but even more remarkable is the fact that each account takes just minutes per day — check in, reply to potential customers, and share relevant content with followers.
It’s as simple as that!
Social Media Marketing and the Rise of Mobile with Nick Usborne
In this session, Nick will show you everything you need to know to master social media, including…
- How social media marketing can be used to reach more people, attract attention, engage an audience more deeply, and transform strangers into buyers and true fans.
- How to identify and use the social media platforms that will deliver the best results for your clients.
- Get ahead of other freelancers by showing your clients and prospects how mobile is playing an increasingly important role in online marketing. (Go mobile or go home!)
When he’s finished, you’ll feel 100% confident in your skills as a web writer… and as a social media writer.
Web Copy Project #6: Blogging
Up next, you’ll learn all about blogging — a BIG part of web copy — and something nearly every client needs…
- A survey from WebMarketing 123 shows that 60% of surveyed B2B brands have a blog. (In addition, 49% of surveyed B2C marketers have a blog.)
- 54% of the most effective marketers publish new content daily or multiple times per week (according to SproutWorth.com).
- HubSpot’s “State of Inbound” report, listed “blog content creation” in the first position on their list of “Top Inbound Marketing Projects in North America.”
Those key statistics show you why blogging is one of the most marketable types of web copy. And, it pays really well too!
Just look at the typical industry rates for blog writing:
- Blog Post: Single, topic-specific blog posts, written for readers and SEO. $250-$800 per post
- Blog Editorial Calendar and Post Series: Continuously generate new traffic with ongoing, strategic posts. $500-$800 per calendar and $250-$800 per post
All this — the demand, the pay, the wide range of possible clients — is why we’ve dedicated an entire 2017 Web Copy Intensive session to blogging…
And, you get full access to the entire recording with the Web Copy Intensive Home Study Program…
