Who is Tasha Young?

Tasha Young is a writer and editor living in Brooklyn, New York, originally from Portland, Maine. Aside from her 10+ years of copywriting + content writing at leading brands and agencies, she’s also an essayist, cultural critic, and published fiction author. Her passion for music is even greater than her passion for writing, and she’s also a proud plant parent.

❝If you’d asked 10-years-ago me — back when I was first starting my writing career — I’d be shocked that I could make $10,000 to $40,000 a month on freelance projects alone. Cut to today, and more than a few writer friends have asked me for help breaking into the industry. By mentoring other writers (and referring them to recruiters and agencies), I discovered how much I enjoy sharing my knowledge, so I designed this course to expertly train you in the art of creative copywriting. When you finish, you’ll be a confident copywriter whom I’d personally recommend to any of my clients.❞ — Tasha

What do I need to take this course?

You’ll need a computer, WiFi, a Google account (for spreadsheets), and a Notion account (for your digital Writer’s Workbook).

I have zero experience with copywriting, will this be too difficult for me?

Nope! You will have to know how to write on a basic level, but when it comes to copywriting and the creative process, we’ll cover the basics from day one.

Do you need a relevant degree to get copywriting jobs?

Nah, fam! It certainly doesn’t hurt to have a relevant degree, but plenty of copywriters come at it from wildly different backgrounds and life paths.

What makes this course better than other courses?

Most online copywriting courses will prep you for old school online marketing jobs, or writing for business-to-business (B2B) brands. There’s absolutely nothing wrong with this, but for writers wanting to break into edgy editorial and brand advertising, UX, or SEO, these courses offer up few actionable insights. You’ll “graduate” the Creative Copywriter Course™ with a ready-to-share portfolio, a built-in networking community on Discord, and an inside track to how copywriters actually go freelance and make more $$$.

How much should I charge for freelance copywriting?

Okay we don’t wanna bury the lede but here goes — when you sign up for the Creative Copywriter Course™, an entire prong of the curriculum is dedicated to freelancing and how to advocate for yourself. Use our rate calculator, learn how to negotiate, and get paid for writing sentences! Wow!

Will I make more money after taking this course?

That all depends on how seriously you take the course material. You’ll leave this digital community with the know-how and portfolio to back up asking clients for higher rates, but you’re the one who has to hit “send” on that vulnerable email. You can do this!

Can I use this course as professional development for my corporate job?

Ofc! You might be a marketer, social media person, designer, or creative in a corporate setting, but ultimately… everyone can benefit from being a stronger writer. (Plus, we also dedicate a section of the course to freelancing, so you’ll have the ability to chase other income streams and pivot to copy jobs, if you choose).

We even whipped up a letter for you to get your employer to help cover the tuition ;) The letter is a Google Doc, so click File -> Make a Copy in the menu and customize it to exactly what you need. To make a copy, you’ll need to be logged in to your Google/Gmail account.

I've been offered a Digital Marketing Apprenticeship. The Creative Copywriter Course gave me the confidence needed to put myself out there. I'll forever be grateful to Tasha, Caitland, and the ilovecreatives team. You've all helped me get unstuck from a job I've struggled with for twelve years of my life.

Stefania Genisio

I enjoyed completing the assignments because they helped me put the course material into context. Tasha and Caitland have been incredibly generous with their constructive feedback and sharing useful resources. One of the highlights was finally being able to create a cohesive portfolio. Learning about other students' experiences on the Discord community is also inspiring and motivating.

Tahiera Overmeyer

I'm a senior copywriter, but I was really lacking a supportive mentor who could help me get out of my head during my creative process. This course definitely delivered on that; it's restored my confidence in listening to my own instincts and helped me with my creative process.

Ijeoma Okoro

My skill set is more aligned toward analytics and research rather than creative writing. I had the most fun researching brands I had an interest in, doing a deep dive into their promotional materials, determining a tone of voice, and analyzing them more than creating copy for them. I also figured out my own personal TOV which gave me more insight into myself.

Olivia Biggar

When I started to receive constructive and positive feedback from my teachers it was incredibly validating and made me think "wow, I think I can actually do this!". Once I got that confidence I was surprised how inspired and motivated I was to keep going. I've actually been able to structure a portfolio, land clients, and fulfill briefs thanks to the Creative Copywriting Course.

Julia Cubbedge

Taking the Creative Copywriter Course has changed my writing (and myself) for the better. I have a pretty non-traditional writing background. I am a Pediatric Registered Nurse but I knew writing was something I loved and I was really craving some more creative work in my life. I also wanted to learn a new skill that could allow me to work remotely and travel more freely.

Olivia Berkovits

I learned so much about myself as a writer throughout this course – Tasha helped me hone in on my specific skills, the areas that I need to work on, and what I love about writing. CCC helped me develop my identity as a writer. I gained confidence and momentum working through the assignments and practice briefs. I loved all of the assignments – this was a great way to experiment, practice my skills and refine my work.

Zoey Cole

I took the Creative Copywriting Class right when I was switching industries into more copy-focused work, and I still refer back to the written curriculum for best practices and advice. The curriculum and the live workshop worked well together—the curriculum offered thorough insight into what assignments were and then the live (but always kind and constructive) critique in the workshop really helped me become a better copywriter. I also wanted accountability to put my portfolio together and feedback once it was live, and Tasha and this class provided that. This class is wonderful, especially for anyone with some copywriting experience who really wants to launch their career. 10/10 for both creative and practical advice.

Katie Kane

I took the Creative Copywriters Course to help me get better at copywriting for my new position on the marketing team. I'm still taking it--but I love that it's asynchronous because I'm super busy.

My advice for someone thinking about taking the course is do it--it feels nice to gain skills alongside your day to day workflow.

Saheim Clervoix

This class was really the wake-up that I needed to fully feel confident in my writing skills. Going into the class you don't fully have an understanding of what could come out of it, but I never knew I would come out of it with such a sense of clarity + independence. I truly enjoyed everything I learned through Tasha's lens, she's truly 1/1! I would recommend this course for anyone looking to test their writing skills again and just imagine.

Capellaa

I love that ilovecreatives’ courses are so fun yet so packed full of the all best info and resources!! The CCC is at least what I expected it to be and more. I'm still working my way through it, but I am really loving the workbook and worksheets. I also like that each lesson is short and focused on a small task to complete. You really get to see how each lesson builds onto the previous one and it helps keep the momentum going to complete the course.

Silsila Bahrami

I absolutely love having access to the Discord channel! It makes it so easy, fun, and interactive as I progress through the course. I also love the resources and the fact that I have access to everything online as I need it. I am motivated to take more courses with ilovecreatives after I finish my current one 🙂
