Basic courses on copywriting often rehash the information that has been long available in good books on the subject and this course is an example. It is not a complete scam where they run off with your money, but also not a guaranteed road to success with exclusive information you can’t find elsewhere. You’ll get value from it but you can get the information for less.
It is not a good sign when you type a product’s name along with “scam” or “review” into a search and the top results are supposedly genuine reviews, but when you read more carefully you see that they are affiliate sites that make money pimping products. These reviews have numerous giveaways - they often use things like “scam”, “review“, or “is it worth” in the title. They start by stating how skeptical they were and use the word honest. They may state that they found ads “intriguing.” They claim to have used the product and had great results. They tend to say that they’ve seen great results by other users.
This business is not rated by the Better Business Bureau but there is one complaint lodged by someone who signed up, was a little of the way into the course but was refused the promised money back guarantee. Not a good sign.
The copywriter’s subreddit recommends a number of free resources and excellent books in their FAQ. Used copies from Amazon or borrowing from your local library makes books cost effective. Hallway through a good book or two in a field may have you realizing that it is not your cup of tea without having invested too much money.
Intermediate to advanced courses are much more favored for useful information once you have a working knowledge of copywriting.
