Resources for copywriters
I've put together the software, programs, and courses I recommend.
I have affiliate links for some of the things on this page, but not all — regardless, anything here is something I wholeheartedly recommend.

If you want to learn how to do web copy really well, from VOC to layouts to user testing, get 10X Web Copy by Copyhackers — I loved it.

I learned foundational SEO from Kate Toon's Recipe for SEO Success course — great for your own website and/or client work.
