Persuasive Copy That Flat-Out Sells
There's a myth floating around about copywriting...
...a dangerous myth that could have DISASTROUS consequences for anyone who believes it.
Want to know what it is?
It's the myth that copywriting is only meant for writers.
Right now there are thousands of business owners, agencies, and marketing professionals out there...
(Email marketers, content marketers, conversion rate specialists, traffic buyers...)
...who have no idea how much they are being held BACK by poor copywriting skills.
It's sad, but true.
Think about it this way:
Copywriting is the art & science of writing words that SELL.
And no matter what your digital marketing specialty is, we all have to "sell" something!
- Media buyers & traffic acquisition specialists have to "sell the click" in their ad copy...
- Email marketers have to "sell the open" in their subject lines...
- Even content marketers have to "sell an idea" in every blog post!
This is why it's essential for EVERY digital marketing professional to have strong copywriting skills.
Copywriting is like dribbling a basketball. If you play basketball, it's ESSENTIAL that you know how to dribble—no matter what position you play.
The same is true of marketers and copywriting.
The good news is that the principles of persuasion are the same no matter what you're working on. The techniques you use to write a high-converting sales page are the same techniques that will help you write better-performing ads, blog posts, emails, and so on.
And when you look at it that way, you start to realize that copywriting does a lot more than just improve conversions...
From generating awareness and building engagement to fostering excitement and turning customers into active promoters of your business, copywriting plays a HUGE role in EVERY single step of the Customer Journey.
(And it improves conversions. A lot.)
That's why copywriting is in such steep demand today. You might even be surprised to learn this one simple fact...
FACT: Businesses NEED Copywriters Now More Than Ever
(...Who Actually Know What They're Doing)
If you're a business owner looking to increase sales...you need better copywriting.
If you're an agency looking to get more clients and deliver better results...you need better copywriting.
If you're a marketing professional looking to take the next BIG step in your career...you need to be a better copywriter.
Simply put, good copywriting can have such a profound effect on your business (and your career) that I wouldn't call it a "game-changing skill..."
But a LIFE-changing skill.
And this is ESPECIALLY true in the world of digital marketing, where the vast majority of all communication happens through the written word.
Listen, I don't want to overstate things here, but the cold, hard truth is this:
If you aren't writing good copy, you aren't marketing.
With bad copywriting, you're just "playing pretend" at this whole digital marketing thing...
...and until you learn how to write persuasive copy that converts, you'll NEVER be a "real marketer!"
See, a pretend marketer is someone who writes copy that "sounds good"...
...while a real marketer is someone who is able to write copy that grabs your prospect's attention and compels them to read and take action.
It's the difference between going through the motions and actually having a positive effect on your business.
That's how important copywriting is. And that's why we're so excited about our brand-new Copywriting Mastery Course & Certification.
And we're even more pumped to announce that we've created this course in a partnership with the world's top authority on direct-response copywriting...
DigitalMarketer + AWAI = Copywriting Gold
For this Mastery Class, we've partnered with AWAI or American Writers & Artists, Inc.
Why?
Because, simply put, they're the best there is.
For over 20 years now, AWAI has been the gold standard when it comes to training the world's top-performing direct response copywriters.
As a result, they've gained the trust and built partnerships with the best direct marketing firms in the world.
Just listen to Bill Bonner, President of Agora Publishing, who said:
"I'm always looking for more copywriters. Lots more ... There just aren't enough writers to write the hundreds of letters my company needs written every year. And I'm not alone. The whole industry needs copywriters.
That's why I'm thrilled that my friends and colleagues at AWAI put together this copywriting program. It is by far the most comprehensive program I've ever seen on the subject.
I've made a special arrangement with AWAI. I've asked them to send their most promising members my way first. So far, my publishers are working with more than a dozen writers who have come from AWAI's program."
Or Clayton Makepeace, one of the world's successful seven-figure copywriters, who said:
"The simple fact is, AWAI...is hands down the best way I know to get a working knowledge of the world's most effective copywriting techniques today.
It has, quite simply, become the standard of the industry. Like many direct response companies, I won't even consider hiring a copy cub who hasn't completed [AWAI's training]."
We knew we needed to create a Copywriting Certification course. It's just too important of a skill to ignore.
But rather than create it ourselves, the thought occurred to us:
Why not join forces with AWAI and combine their classic copywriting wisdom with our modern digital marketing expertise?
Well, that's exactly what we did.
And the result...in our not-so-humble opinion...is a must-have digital copywriting training.
The truth is that we're standing on the shoulders of giants here. We certainly didn't invent copywriting. It's been around for over a century.
Instead, we've taken 100 years of information about persuasion & copywriting and we've "made it modern."
In other words, we've adapted the same principles that have been proven effective time and time again by classic direct-response copywriters (think David Ogilvy)...
...and bridged the gap to the digital copywriting needs of today.
The result is an incredibly valuable training program that gets our highest possible recommendation for ANYONE who takes digital marketing seriously.

Who Should Get Certified
Marketing Professionals
Grow in your career, and get everyone else in your company on the same page, and speaking the same language
Team Leads
There's nothing harder than managing a team where everyone speaks a different language. So let us fix that for you.
Directors & VPs
Give your managers and employees the training they need, so you can stay focused on strategy and execution.
Agency Owners
When your team can truly deliver the goods, you can truly serve your clients...and increase billable hours.
Founders & CEOs
Running a business is hard enough without also having to worry about sales and marketing, so let us worry about it, instead.
Why Should You Get Certified?
Marketing Professionals
...this certification will set you apart from the pack.
Unlike everyone else who simply calls themselves an "ecommerce expert," you'll have the certificate and the badge to prove it, from a source that businesses trust.
More importantly, it will make you a better marketer.
Why? Because you're receiving the exact same training you would receive as an employee at DigitalMarketer. (And without tooting our horn too much, we're pretty good at this stuff!)
And we held nothing back.
These are the same systems and strategies we use in our own companies to build profitable ecommerce sites, drive interested traffic to high-converting pages, and maximize our revenue from every sale. It's taught by one of the sharpest marketing minds you'll find anywhere, Ezra Firestone (who also happens to be an incredibly successful ecommerce site owner himself).
So, if you want to:
- Enhance your career (or start a new one)
- Learn the latest and greatest tactics (that actually work)
- Expand your skill set, distance yourself from the competition, and jump to a higher pay grade...
...this course and certification is for you
If you're a business owner...
...maybe you don't need the certification.
But what about your team? Do you know for a fact that they're up to speed on all the latest and greatest ecommerce marketing strategies?
If you're not sure, or if you just want them to receive the exact same training the team at DM receives, then get them certified!
They'll love the fact that you're investing in them, and you'll love the fact that they're performing at the highest level possible for your company.
Also, there's no rule that you have to sit for the test. If the training is more important to you than the certification, then just take the training and look at the test as an optional extra. (But if I were you I'd take it anyway just to make sure you're fully grasping all the concepts.)
Oh yeah, and if you're an agency or other marketing professional, then you already know how important certifications are to distancing yourself from the competition. And who knows? It might even help you claim higher fees for the work you're already doing.
Either way, if you expect the best for your company, then this course and certification is for you.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: "How will this certificate help me?"
A: It depends on who you are...
If you're a business owner, this certification is a great way to learn demand-based traffic yourself. It's also a great way to train and certify members of your own team to ensure that they're up to speed on the latest trends and best practices.
If you're an agency, this certification is a tangible way to show that you are a Copywriting Specialist, which could help you attract and retain better, higher-paying clients.
If you're a student, this certificate can set you apart from other graduates who merely have a business or marketing degree, but specialized skills that employers today are desperately seeking.
If you're an employee or marketing professional, this certificate can make you more valuable to your company, which is the surest way to get that raise or promotion you likely already deserve (but don't have a tangible reason to request).
Q: "How valuable is this certification?"
A: The certification itself is highly valuable if you need to set yourself apart from the competition. What's far more valuable than any badge or certificate, however, is the actual knowledge you're going to receive when you take this class and pass all the tests. You will know paid traffic. I'll say that again: YOU WILL KNOW
COPYWRITING.
Q: "What if I fail? Am I allowed to retake the test?"
A: Yes, you make retake the test up to 2 times (for a total of 3 attempts). After 3 failed attempts, you will be required to retake the class (which you can do for free) and all the module quizzes prior to attempting the final exam again.
Q: "How long do I have to complete the class and take the test once I am enrolled?"
A: You can move at your own pace! We understand that life happens, and that just because you enroll today that doesn't mean you'll be able to finish (or even start) the class this week. And that's ok! Take as long as you like. We aren't going anywhere, and neither is this certification.
Q: "How long does it take to finish the course and receive my certification?"
A: This class is 5.5 hours of video training, so if you are working at it full-time you could technically complete the class and take all the tests in one day (although this is not recommended). To fully understand and apply the materials, you should allow 3 - 7 days if you are working full-time, and 14 - 21 days if you taking the class part-time.
Q: "Am I guaranteed to get certified if I take the class?"
A: No. A certification that can simply be purchased isn't worth the paper it's printed on. That's why our courses are challenging. If we're going to allow you to display a DigitalMarketer badge, you better believe you're going to have to earn it.
Q: "I don't care about the certification...can I just audit the class?"
A: Right now the cost for the class is $95. Ordinarily the sit fee for the certification exam is $500, but currently we have waved that fee and are allowing students to take the exam up to 3 times for free. This will change in the future, at which time we may allow non-certification candidates to audit our classes at a discounted rate, but the price will never be lower than $95.
Q: "How difficult is the test?"
A: You'll find that the test is "satisfyingly difficult." By that I mean, it's difficult enough that you need to actually know the materials, but it isn't tricky or difficult just for the sake of being difficult. That said, to preserve the exclusivity and importance of this designation, we have made the tests challenging and the questions do pertain to our proprietary methodologies, so you shouldn't expect to be able to pass the test just because you have taken other paid traffic trainings or courses in the past. This training is different, and the exams will reflect those differences.
Q: "Why are copywriters so valuable?"
A: Copy is the most powerful way to get your message across and will only make you better at your marketing discipline. No matter what company, industry, or focus EVERY business needs a copywriter to make the cash register ring.

DigitalMarketer Is Different
Yes, you can find other trainings and certifications that cover similar topics, but a DigitalMarketer certification is unique because it's built and taught by real marketers who actually sell their own products and services online.
In other words, we aren't journalists or "researchers." We're in-the-trenches doers who despise untested theory and believe that the best way to learn something is to roll up your sleeves and get your hands a little dirty. If that sounds appealing, then welcome! You've found your home.
