Eve and Eve Heidi-- and whoever else, like me, thinks that everyone else that we talk to is further along in "setting their lemonade stands" up and opening for business than we are.
It's been slow for me, too, Eve D.
But you are studying harder than I am (but wish I could). I hardly take courses. I do read books about copywriting and advertising and have busied myself with WordPress and a couple other Udemy tutorials and am TRYING to collect or create-- so far have not created--writing samples for my online portfolio. Fortunately, I have done better than I expected with that small element.
A GOOD thing is that Eve Heidi and I have been trying to support each other's success and speak frequently. I know she has boosted my confidence! I hope I have hers. And I learn a lot from her, too.
But I've pretty well cut myself off from buying more online courses. And the resources are everywhere.
Frankly, I am just not ready to totally sally forth and obtain and maintain steady (or any) jobs without feeling like I'm a fraud. I do start feeling a little better and more confident-- but just not enough yet.
But perhaps we are all getting closer to manifesting as WEARECOPYWRITERS than we think. Our forum's name is an AFFIRMATION.
Jenn, I enjoy your posts. Believe it or not your long list of headlines were not only good-- many were entertaining even. I never did that assignment as instructed (maybe that is why sometimes I feel like a would-be/fraud).
Mella,
How are YOU doing? Your competent, confident attitude, and energy inspire me.
Where have all the members gone? Oscar, John Michael, Ryan, Kevin, Barbara, Xiela? Are you still with us? Maybe some of you are out independently pursuing your career. Maybe someone just decided to ditch this thing. And there are others of you who are somewhere in between.
I invite you to come back and share your wisdom and ask for our support again-- or for the first time. YOU ARE MISSED!
Best to all,
Jill
