How to research as a copywriter
Is research important as a copywriter?
That’s like asking if water is important to fish.
Here are 5 quick quotes from 5 copywriting legends.
I suggest you pay attention to what they have to say:
(They’ve generated hundreds of millions of dollars as copwriters)

"Advertising people who ignore research are as dangerous as generals who ignore decodes of enemy signals."
-David Ogilvy

"You don’t write copy. You assemble it from research like a mosaic.”
-Eugene Schwartz

"The market is the ultimate proofreader. It tells you if your research was right."
-Gary Bencivenga

"The writer who understands how to influence minds does not guess. He studies. He proves."
-Claude Hopkins

"Each product has a unique personality and it is your job to find it."
-Joseph Sugarman
Okay, now that you’ve listened to some quick-hit wisdom from the legends about why you need to research as a copywriter..
The question is — how?
Most new copywriters are CLUELESS when it comes to conducting research.
So, I created a free mini course on how to research your target audience, your client's business/customers, the competition, and broad niche research to craft high-converting copy…
All essential to hitting $5,000+/month as a copywriter.
-Brandon “why yes, I have another free course for you” Storey
P.S. Might be releasing a new paid course in May — to help you go from knowing absolutely nothing about copywriting to understand how to write high-converting copy… in just a few weeks. Stay tuned (and watch the research video above for now).
