You and I will explore some of the most successful advertising campaigns in history.

We'll explore several examples and learn how to write clever, entertaining, and powerful copy.
You'll witness how successful advertising is created. You'll learn about headlines, photos (visuals), opening lines, body copy, sales pitch formats, testimonials, features and benefits, reader engagement, humor, irony, originality, conclusions, and much more. Take the course. Who knows? In 40 years, people might be talking about your copy.
This course isn't theoretical ; it provides detailed explanations of effective, practical examples of advertising. For a more in-depth understanding, we recommend watching the sample lecture.

My name is Alan Sharpe. It's an honor to be with you. I'm a 29-year veteran copywriter who has been teaching persuasive writing since 1989.
Through conference workshops, copywriting classes, telephone seminars, video seminars, trade magazine articles, news articles, blog posts, and books, I've helped thousands of copywriters master the art of persuasive writing.
I taught myself advertising copywriting and worked as a freelance copywriter while also serving as a senior copywriter at two advertising agencies. I've worked on pump parts, utility trailers, digital video converters, insurance, and all aspects of media. I even edited personal emails to sell a thick book about Elvis Presley. I don't want to remember, so don't ask.
After decades of working as a copywriter, I've narrowed my expertise to two areas: business emails and fundraising letters for nonprofits.
Now, we're here to help you write content that gets noticed, read, and gets results.
Let's get started.
I now have a more in-depth background knowledge about copyright.
Explain briefly and clearly using easy-to-understand examples.
It's a good lecture.
It's a good lecture.
It's short so I like listening to it a little bit every day.
