Clearer, more confident (copy)writing
in under five minutes a day.
(Yep. In under two minutes a day.)
In the summer of 2014, I opened up a five-week(ish) mini-course -slash- community -slash- experience called ACAC Summer School.
After reading hundreds of responses to my "What do you most want to learn?" welcome note, I was inspired to create a series of 20 super-speedy "micro-lessons" - highly actionable tidbits to help folks get the "ahas" they needed to write their OWN great copy....without ANY extra fluff.
It was a lot of fun. And really productive for all involved.
So productive, in fact, that when Summer School came to an end and it was time to close the group (which had grown to a wildly supportive international community of over 2,100 entrepreneurs!), I realized there was SERIOUS need + desire to access these micro-lessons...for good.
And so we made a way.
The week after adding over 80 new students to the FULL version of ACAC, I followed my hunch to make something special (+ much longer lasting) out of this super-valuable mini-library:
A Course About Copy Prep School
INSTANT, LIFETIME ACCESS TO ALL 20 MICRO-LESSONS FIRST FEATURED IN ACAC SUMMER SCHOOL
(+ the option to upgrade to the full version of ACAC whenever you're ready, and BONUS: $20 of your investment goes to my school fundraiser with Pencils of Promise!)
In just the first week of its existence, Mel and exactly 99 more bright entrepreneurs joined the Prep School party.
(And as you'll see if you read alllllll the way down the page, there's never been a better time to join them.)
This is why I never mess with a hunch ;)

So what is ACAC Prep School?
In short, it's a mini-course that will help you become a clearer, more confident (copy)writer in less than two minutes a day.
This video library is made up of 20 super-efficient micro-lessons - curated top-shelf ACAC content - delivered in under 34 minutes. Total. (They're seriously less than two minutes each.)
And I'm THRILLED to offer you instant + lifetime access to all of them.
(What's really exciting is that Prep School is set up like a REAL mini-ACAC. I've loaded the videos into their own pages on a secure mini-course site WITHIN the ACAC classroom walls. You get a username and everything!) So fun, right? This feels like a PERFECT way to continue serving all those folks who reeeeally wanted to join us but had to wait for one reason or another. NOW you'll have the golden nuggets you need to boost your skills, confidence, and income, so you can join the A Course About Copy party whenever you're ready.
And here's (what I think may be) the best part: Your investment in ACAC Prep School will count toward your full ACAC membership whenever you're ready to upgrade. Woop! It's like a down payment. Or a first in three payments.
While you're making magic happen with these micro-lessons, you're making (or saving) what you need to join the full version. #sosmartofyou
NOTE: The upgrade option is available whenever ACAC is open for enrollment. Ex. When I close the doors to ACAC in September, upgrade options close too!

And what's covered in the 20 micro-lessons?
We've got it broken into FIVE sections, and while you could watch them all right NOW if you wanted to, I'll send you an overview (with a side of encouragement) every Monday for the first five weeks just to remind you what's on the menu. Here's EXACTLY what's covered in Prep School:
No 1: MINDSET STUFF

1.1 Choose your words wisely. 1.2 Outsmart writer's block. 1.3 Move past perfectionism. 1.4 Seek USEFUL feedback.

2.1 Choose the right topics. 2.2 Write with purpose. 2.3 Be more concise. 2.4 Make it easy to understand.
No 3: FUN WRITING

3.1 Be more interesting. 3.2 Write like you. 3.3 Avoid TMI. 3.4 Style it up.
No 4: SMART WRITING
That authenticity piece is most powerful when combined with smart, thoughtful intent. If you want people to take action, you’ve got to make it easy for them. Learn how to:
4.1 Make it easy to navigate. 4.2 Get more comments. 4.3 Write better headlines. 4.4 Write emails that get opened.
No 5: PROFITABLE WRITING
Yes, we want to make meaningful connections. But we’re in business. We also want (and need) to make MONEY. Learn how to:
5.1 Redefine "salesy." 5.2 Make it EASY to buy from you. 5.3 Get clear on the benefits. 5.4 Share your rates with confidence.
