Copywriting Success: Robo's Story of Studies & Execution

[Anon38776]

Hello, guys. My name's Robo, and I was on this forum a long time ago. I was battling something with the symptoms of depression and anxiety; the illness is difficult to explain to a psychiatrist, so I'm not going to bother with explaining to you. Just know that I'm mostly medicated, I'm making positive changes in my life, and I've been moving in a positive direction in the past month at least. I do myself a lot of good.

My core goal currently is to study as much advertising and copywriting as possible -- I want to become a freelance direct response copywriter. I'm not going to pick a niche yet, and I'm not going to pick my lambo's color just yet (but more on that later).

I will be sharing my blog posts on here (if permitted), and I will be sharing my successes and failures.

So far, I've only written one blog post, which is a memorandum for the book "Scientific Advertising" by Claude Hopkins, and I want your feedback on my writing, the blog itself, and I want to know what new could I learn.

I've had clients invite me to work on UpWork, but the last hopeful client fell through, even after I gave him tips on how to improve before any payment was set. I've followed up with him today, but the response times are usually slow.

Here's the blog post I was talking about: Robo’s Summaries: “Scientific Advertising” by Claude Hopkins

I'm planning on creating a new site, and hosting WordPress on that site, as soon as I can afford to. I don't know how important this is, but I'd say it's on the lowest of my priorities for making actual money -- I just want a nice site.
