Welcome to Inkspiller!
Here's what to expect.
I'm Sean Curry, a professional copywriter, marketer, and content strategist with over 20 years making content for the internet. I started way back when Geocities was a thing.
Yeah, Geocities. I've been around for a while.
Inkspiller is my attempt to push back on the utter glut of bad copywriting advice out there. (First things first: this is not a copywriting course.) Freelance copywriting is not a free ticket to private jets or low-effort passive income. You're going to have to learn a lot more than direct marketing and email strategy.
But this really can be a worthwhile, sustainable, and (most importantly!) independent career. I want to be a resource for people who are exploring a freelance copywriting career—or, alternatively, a place for those further along their careers, fulltime or freelance, to consider new ideas and strategies from someone who's been in the game for a while.
Before you commit, poke around the site a little bit and see if you like what I have to say:
- This is not a copywriting course is my manifesto on what this is going to be and why I think it's important to create it.
- The Descending Copy Ladder to Hell is my first #writing issue, and discusses a problematic writing trend I've seen amongst copywriters.
- Submit a question to have it answered in an upcoming Reader Q+A issue!
And if you're ready, sign up to receive these issues in your inbox below. I'm currently running the Summer Spiller sale—Free Full Access all summer, and $10/month starting in September.
