Introduction & Mindset for Copywriting
The course debunks myths about paid online courses and offers a free comprehensive program for aspiring freelance copywriters.
Tyson shares his background: poor academic performance, low-wage jobs, military and working as a security guard—proving anyone can learn copywriting regardless of background.
Emphasizes that success is about developing marketable skills (not luck, smarts, or expensive credentials).
Highlights testimonials from both himself (now making $100K/month) and students who hit $10K/month.
Outlines that the course is fully free for philanthropic reasons and personal brand-building, not as a sales funnel to higher-priced products.
Copywriting Concepts & Practical Foundations
Introduces copywriting as a core business and marketing skill, pivotal for online income, and highly transferable across industries.
Distinguishes copywriting from being a “good writer”: simple, clear messaging at a 3rd-grade level is most effective.
Explains business applications, how copywriting gets clients measurable results, and its value to business owners.
Addresses objections about AI replacing copywriters, emphasizing that AI is a tool, not a replacement for creative, strategic marketers.
Encourages students to proactively adopt a "problem solver" mindset; businesses hire for results and time-savings, not just low costs.
Provides practical exercises to begin: watch videos, take notes, practice writing emails, and use community resources for improvement.
Copywriting Email Fundamentals
Focuses on email as the best starting point for new copywriters due to ROI and manageability.
Explains why email marketing is so effective compared to social media, including real-world examples like Morning Brew’s $75M acquisition.
Introduces the compile–ideate–structure–polish process for writing effective emails.
Breaks down how to research a client, use AI tools like ChatGPT for content distillation, and compile hooks, angles, stories, and templates.
Demonstrates writing a full sample client email, walking through each step and the rationale behind structural and persuasive choices.
Covers how to use belief shifts, storytelling, and intrigue/open loops to make copy readable and action-oriented.
Copywriting Structures & Persuasion Techniques
Thoroughly explains major copywriting frameworks:
Attention–Consumption–Persuade–Action,
Challenge–Justify–Need (CJN),
Problem–Promise–Agitate–Solution (PPAS),
Hook–Story–Offer (HSO).
Details how to write headlines, hooks, and stories, including practical Reddit examples and proven engagement formulas.
Reviews actual student copy submissions, providing direct feedback on structure, pacing, clarity, and reader focus.
Discusses the importance of optimizing for “TikTok brain”—brevity, emotional triggers, bold claims supported by proof/statistics, and logical progression.
Emphasizes showing rather than telling and using testimonials, analogies, statistics, and borrowed authority for credibility.
Portfolio Building & Skill Expansion
Outlines the process for building a copywriting portfolio, including using unpaid/personal samples, obtaining client testimonials, and demonstrating variety.
Recommends focusing on both primary and complementary skills: landing pages, email automation, funnel building, and AI-enhanced workflows.
Encourages ongoing learning and efficiency through use of templates, swipe files, and prompt packs.
Outreach, Prospecting, and Getting Clients
Outlines principles for finding and closing high-value freelance copywriting clients: saturation is not a concern if skill level and outreach quality are high.
Shares six-step process: find clients, approach, deliver upfront value, conduct calls, make offers, and close deals.
Teaches how to prospect via Instagram, YouTube, TikTok, and LinkedIn; provides detailed tips on identifying qualified prospects.
Provides outreach frameworks and scripts (DM, email, Loom video, etc.), stressing personalization, curiosity, value, and follow-up.
Reviews real DMs, successful deals, and negotiations between Tyson/students and their clients, highlighting best practices and common pitfalls.
Stresses the importance of marinating leads, nurturing warm leads, and maintaining top-of-mind status via follow-up sequences.
Advanced Copywriting & Secondary Skills
Introduces secondary skills for broader value: landing page building, video sales letters, email automation, email deliverability, and analytics.
Demonstrates how to use tools like ActiveCampaign, Kajabi, and ClickFunnels for campaign execution.
Explains in detail how to construct landing pages, value stacks, bullets, testimonials, and urgency blocks.
Shares frameworks for mapping and optimizing client funnels; runs through basic marketing math (lead cost, conversion, ROI calculations).
Using AI for Copywriting
Details practical use cases for AI: generating analogies, punchier lines, simplifying language, and brainstorming—not for full copy.
Promotes prompt engineering for efficiency: “make this email funnier,” “give me 10 analogies for X,” “what questions should I answer to write about Y?”
Action Planning, Scaling, and Next Steps
Provides a staged action plan for scaling from zero to $10K/month: habit building, daily writing, ongoing outreach, portfolio improvement, and networking.
Outlines how to use the Copy Starter Kit and free online groups for accountability and feedback.
Encourages regular milestone reviews, continuous note-taking, and re-watching of course segments for reinforcement.
Closes with final motivation: the journey is accessible to anyone willing to put in disciplined, consistent effort over at least six months.
Shares additional resources for deeper dives on emails, Outreach, landing pages, and more advanced topics.
Decisions
Course will remain 100% free — Rationale: Philanthropy, personal brand-building, and indirect business benefits for Tyson.
Focus on skill-building before scaling outreach — Rationale: Quality and efficiency outweigh sheer outreach volume.
No paid upsell attached — Rationale: All resources, swipe files, and templates remain free as promised.
