“I now earn more, from better clients who want to work with me, because of Roy and his teachings.” 

- Chris Wright, Financial Copywriter & Marketing Consultant
What people are Saying:
Roy cuts to the chase and tells the real truth about what it takes to succeed as a copywriter. His advice may not be what you want to hear but it sure is what everyone who considers writing professionally should hear...if you want to succeed.
-  Keith Duncan
I bought this guide and consumed it in one sitting.  It was just what I needed to position an irresistible offer to pitch a big hitter in an industry I’ve never written for. I'm confident I'll be able to receive higher fees now that I see how Roy does it. Well worth the few bucks in order​ to see the math to make $1Million from one sales letter.
- Eric Bakey
Great information for the new copywriter. Thanks for sharing it.  As a person who is new and training with AWAI, any information that guides me down a successful path is greatly appreciated. The book is thought provoking and insightful. Very worth studying and following the author's advice.
- Mary

From the Desk of Roy Furr

Freelance Direct Response Copywriter since 2010

Dear Future Copywriting Rockstar,

Roy Furr here. And I want to tell you…

This new book for copywriters is NOT about writing better copy. 

It’s about running a better copywriting business. 

You see, in my first decade in marketing and as a successful copywriter (working with some of the best in the business)…
I've found that in at least 9 out of 10 cases...
  • There’s A BIG DIFFERENCE between copywriters who make a great living, build a great copywriting business, and live a lifestyle to love…
  • ​And those who are always floundering and failing to live the life they dream of — the life they’ve been promised…
I've coached copywriters.  I've been a copy chief.  I've met and talked with copywriters at events.  I've gotten emails from readers and fans.  I've seen the discussions on social media.  

And this one nasty truth keeps coming up...

UNFORTUNATELY: There are way too many copywriters who are NOT as successful in their businesses as they hoped they'd be!

In those 9 out of 10 cases, it’s NOT about their writing ability.

Nope… In 9 out of 10 cases, the copywriter is missing something else.

Either the mindset it takes to put themselves out there and create great success as in their copywriting business…

OR… Practical understanding of the business skills of a copywriter.

Let me put that another way…
If you’re not making it — yet — as a copywriter, the problem probably isn’t your copy! It’s what you have in your head — dealing with your mindset and how you’re approaching your copywriting BUSINESS.
That’s why I created The Copywriter’s Guide To Getting Paid.

Because I want to help you land awesome clients and earn a great living through your copywriting business… By teaching you those missing mindset and business skills secrets that all successful copywriters know, many aspiring copywriters don’t.

In order to get the raw truth about this subject, I worked with a special team put together by marketing superstar Dean Jackson (co-host with Joe Polish of the stellar I Love Marketing Podcast).

Dean’s right-hand woman for these projects, Susan Austin, got on the phone with me and together we dove into what you need to know to get paid as a copywriter.
I held nothing back. (I’ve included a huge list of what you’ll discover in the book below.)
Then I worked with Dean’s team to edit the transcriptions of that interview, to add depth and dimension and clarity to every point I made.

Plus, I threw in what I thought to be some of the most critical essays I’ve written for copywriters as Appendices to the book.

Oh yeah, and the one and only Brian Kurtz wrote the foreword.

In case you’ve been living under a rock, Brian is the guy who put on The Titans of Direct Response, which I wrote the sales letter for. This was the event superstar copywriter Dan Kennedy called “The event of the decade.” The ONLY event legendary copywriter Gary Bencivenga has ever (and will ever) come out of retirement for. And event that attracted hundreds of top marketers from around the globe, featuring the best-of-the-best copywriters and direct marketers alive today. 

Brian was also Executive VP and business-builder at one of the top direct marketing companies of all time, Boardroom, Inc., where he hired and worked with the best copywriting talent in the world. During his 34 years at Boardroom, Brian helped the company grow from a few million dollars per year to over $150 million in peak annual revenue, largely on the back of great copy. (In short, he knows exactly what copywriters need to do to get paid from a great client like him!)
The Copywriter’s Guide To Getting Paid is a quick read — you might even get through it in one sitting. But you can apply its lessons to get paid more for the rest of your copywriting career.

The paperback retails on Amazon.com for $6.99 plus shipping.  And you can get the Kindle version there, too.
