Build a copywriting website in just five days from now – for free

When selling just about any product or service today, what’s the first thing prospective customers do?
……Check out your website. At the very least, you will need an online ‘brochure’ (a basic five or six page
site) just to give people the reassurance they need. Without it you are dead in the water.

Longer term, you will want more than just an online brochure, you will want a website that ranks highly
with Google every time people are searching for your type of service – a money magnet. Later, I will show
you how to develop a money magnet, but right now you have more pressing problems. Despite all the
offers ‘We’ll move you into the top searches for Google within weeks’, the truth is that search engine
optimization takes time and effort.

Believe me, it will be a year before your site delivers new prospects in any number. Sorry, but I am not
trying to sell dreams. I want this to be an honest guide to starting out as a freelance copywriter.
You could, of course, go to one of the many low-cost web companies that will turn around a basic site for
a couple of hundred pounds/dollars for your online brochure. That’s not what I would recommend. It is
perfectly possible today to develop your own site without any web skills. Choose the right software and
you can then, over time, develop it into a money-magnet. All under your own control. In the meantime,
this is your first real opportunity to show you can write killer copy – your client is yourself, so what better
incentive?

Don’t even bother with any of the well known web-building software packages. They’re not cheap and
very few are easy to use. I can strongly recommend a completely free solution that can have you up and
live within days. What’s more, it has all the capabilities built-in to optimize your site later into a top
performer.

Tip: The secret is www.weebly.com. They claim you can create a free website in minutes. In truth, it will
take you a couple of evenings, but it really is for the layman and it really is free. No wonder more than six
million people and businesses are already using Weeby.

They have plenty of ready-made designs – just click on the one you like. At the time of writing, this link
would take you straight to their business themes templates:
http://www.weebly.com/themes/category/Business/ .

Weebly gives you literally hundreds of different

template designs to choose from. You simply copy and
paste in your own text and pictures, press ‘publish’, and
your site is live. Well, almost that easy.
The images they use can easily be changed to any that you prefer for real personalization.

FREE TUTORIALS ON HOW TO BUILD YOUR WEBSITE

WITH WEEBLY
Although it is highly intuitive, the training videos on Weebly are not very good. I have found a whole set of
excellent videos on You Tube. The first is very sales-oriented (still watch it), but the remainder are real
‘over my shoulder’ views. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=itBoDkPT53w Great stuff!

If you do wish to use different images, I can recommend an online image library that charges just a few
dollars per picture www.bigstockphoto.com or www.istock.com. I use them all the time for my own
clients.

Domain name

You will, of course, need to buy a domain name – www.wizzocopywriter.com. The cost is just a few dollars
- my own website domain name www.copywriting-on-demand.com costs me around $10 dollars a year.
TIP: Your domain name is one of the biggest single influencers when it comes to Google searches. Make
sure that you choose a domain name with the word ‘copywriter’ in it. At the time of writing this book,
www.top-copywriter-usa.com and www.top-copywriter-uk.com were both available for around $15 a
year each!

How to buy a domain name

You can ‘buy’ your domain name (actually, you rent it) using your credit card from lots of online
companies such as www.123-reg.com. You just type in the domain name of your choice and within
seconds you will be advised whether it is available, with the option to ‘buy’ there and then.

If you intend to use Weebly to create your free website, then I suggest you get your domain through
them. It will certainly make life easier dealing with just one company for both domain name and website
building/hosting. So, go on – sign up for your free Weebly account right now and start playing with it.
After half a day you will be confident enough to have your own domain name and your own copywriting
site live within a week. It will all seem strange at first - that’s just the learning curve - but it really is dead
easy.
To begin with, your ‘online brochure’ site will have fairly basic content. A Home Page that immediately
informs what it is you do and why people should hire you. If you already have a relevant background (say,
an ex accountant writing for that sector), you will want an About Me page. A Services section, describing
different types of copy you write – preferably a page for each: sales brochures, sales letters, press
releases, case studies etc. As you get clients on board, start a ‘Testimonials’ page – customers saying how
pleased they have been with your work. And, of course a Contact Me page! To get inspiration, simply visit
other copywriters’ sites, but never, ever copy their content.

Copyright symbol

Finally – add a copyright symbol © at the foot of each page.

TIP: To type a copyright symbol on a PC, simply hold down the Alt key and, using the numeric pad, key
in 0169. Try it! If you use a Mac, simply Option + G

a live website, up and running for the whole world to visit. No software costs. No
hosting fees. You won’t even pay for a domain name. In fact, the course fee is the only
investment you’ll need to make. And you won’t have to write a single line of code.

It’s optimized for mobile devices, so people can even visit ‘on the move’. How many
websites can make that boast?

It includes videos clips on-site and audio material, plus brochure downloads
It incorporates its own blog – great for engaging with people and great for search engine
optimisation.

AND it includes automated News Feeds to keep the site lively, up-to-date and relevant
You’ll be shown how to add an interactive Google Map so people can find the Head
Office…
… and a ‘Contact Form’ that will capture prospect information, then generate an enquiry
that goes straight to the Sales Department - with the visitor automatically getting a
confirmation message that someone will get back to them.

Internal links. Links to other websites. And a wealth of visitor information automatically
captured and displayed, to help you in your marketing activities.
You literally look over my shoulder as I create the site. The videos are all short and cover
just one learning point each – so no information overload, no confusion. Each video is
followed by hard-copy notes, illustrating every step along the way, using large screen-
grab photos. In each project, you just copy exactly what I have done, step by step.

I provide all the MATERIALS you need, such as photographs. I provide the ‘cod latin’ text
for populating the pages – that’s the Ipsum Lorum stuff you see graphic designers using
when testing out printed brochures.

And, of course, should you hit any problems, I’m just an email away.

Once you’ve created our sample website, you’ll be completely confident and ready to
create your OWN business-website using EXACTLY the same principles.

But you don’t like the design? No problem. Changing it is child’s play.
