Yesterday, I was scrolling through YouTube Shorts and found this incredible little clip from J.K. Rowling.

(The highest paid writer in the world… and author of Harry Potter)

She is the only Billionaire writer on the planet (and ever to exist).

In this clip, she was asked “Do you have any advice about how to become a prolific & brilliant writer?”

If you’re like me… I’d love to know the answer too! 😄

And don’t ignore this just because she writes fiction or young adult…

Because something she’s clearly mastered is ADDICTIVE storytelling.

(Which is more important in COPYWRITING today than ever)

In fact, i’ve been reading fiction books MORE THAN copywriting lately to master storytelling in my copy.

Anywho — here’s exactly what she had to say about becoming brilliant & prolific…

​

Read as much as you can because you will learn.

You will enlarge your vocabulary.

And you will start being able to analyze what you like and what you don’t like.

You’ll go through a phase where you imitate your favorite writers.

That’s great. That’s like an apprenticeship. You’re learning.

There are some basic rules.

Of course, there are basic rules.

You write as well as you can. As much as you can.

You’ve gotta put the hours in.

You’ve gotta keep writing when it’s tough.

But no one can actually tell you how to do it.

You have to find that out for yourself.

And that shouldn’t be a discouraging thing.

That should be an empowering thing.

No one really knows how to do it.

And that includes me.

​

To sum up…

Read a lot.

Write a lot.

Discover your style.

Keep going.

Some of you guys are looking at me like this…

​

🤣🤣🤣

Before you rage reply —
​

HANG TIGHT!
​

The reason I love this clip is because even though it’s almost TOO simple…

It’s the OPPOSITE of practically everything I see on the internet.

This clip is from 2024 and she never once mentions AI.

(That if you don’t MaStEr AI YoU WiLl SuReLy PeRiSh!!!!)

She doesn’t talk about chasing that Harry Potter money.

(Like every guru tells you to WrItE FoR ThIs HaWt NiChE ThAt PrInTs CaSh!!!!)

And she doesn’t give you any hacks, morning routine or efficiency BS to get your writing done fast.

​

BASICALLY... NONE OF THAT CRAP YOU SEE FROM 22-YEAR-OLD TWITTER BROS 🤫

​

Instead she talks about the love of the PROCESS.

Indoctrinating your MIND to become a writer. Reading so much that YOU learn and expand YOUR vocabulary.

Not AI.

YOU!

Write so much that YOU discover what YOU like!

That YOU turn it into YOUR own style…

​

ISN’T THAT INCREDIBLE?

​

The richest writer in the world who has easily PUBLISHED over 2,000,000 words…

She does writing the “long hard stupid” way.

The greatest shortcut is doing the work.

Who would have thought? 😄

But if you’ll allow me — I wanna add a dash of sauce to what she said.

There’s only ONE way to be that consistent in writing.

And that’s to LOVE what you learn and write about.

I’ve been writing these daily emails for over two years now.

And I’ve never once thought about quitting.

I don’t need motivation to write them.

And I easily pump out 1,000 words a day.

(And read an hour a day too)

It’s safe to say, I’m definitely in the top 1% of most consistent readers & writers in the entire world.

I rarely meet anyone more consistent than I.

And the only way I’ve stayed consistent is because I genuinely love talking about copywriting & telling stories.

As opposed to many copywriters on my list who write solely for their clients.

They wake up thinking…

Ughhh I gotta go write a landing page for this roofing company.

I gotta pump out a bunch of emails for these plant-based supplements I couldn't give two rips about.

I’m on the hook to write a bunch of ads selling ladies lipgloss.

​

LISTEN…

​

I’m not knocking it — you gotta pay the bills.

I’ve had clients in niches I don't care about either.

But what if you got to wake up and write every single day about something you LOVE?

Fashion? Watches? Golf? Beekeeping? Sneakers? Fiction Novels? Basketball?

Whatever YOU want.

Wouldn’t it be 100x easier to wake up, pour a cup of coffee and crush 1,000 words no problem!?

I know it would because I lived it!

I couldn’t build a writing habit to save my life until I started writing about something I LOVE.

(Go figure J.K. Rowling wrote a story about magic & monsters… no FinTech LOL)

If all this is hitting you in the feels like it did me — then you may love what I’m cooking up.

Yes, I’ve been teasing you for the past couple weeks haha.

I’m cooking up a PRIVATE COMMUNITY called CopyCreator.

Where I teach Copywriters how to build their own creator business writing about what YOU love.

Because I believe Copywriting is the most valuable skill on the internet.

And if you know how to apply copywriting principles to a creator business. You can be profitable in any niche.

This community would be private and paid.

(To keep unserious people out and serious people to have some skin in the game)

I was gonna do a course but that wouldn’t do it justice…

I want WORK TOGETHER…

Get to know each other. Build friendships. Share our wins. Build something meaningful together.

If this sounds like something you might be interested, reply to this email saying “I’m Interested!”

You’re not committing to anything.

I’m just gauging from my side if this is a problem you want to deeply invest in solving with you.

(I think it is but I’m a copywriter… I gotta do my market research haha)

And if so, I’ll be building the entire thing in PUBLIC!

I.e. YOU, my dear subscriber, will get the first scoop on everything I’m doing to make this the most incredible Copywriter’s community you could ever be a part of.

I’ll tell you everything I do and how I do it.

So stick around.

Anywho let’s wrap this up cause that was a long one today haha!

Thanks for reading. I appreciate you.

I’lll see you tomorrow!

Your copywriting friend,

Alin “CopyCreator” Dragu
