I’ve read 1,000s of books in my life.

At 5th grade I was reading 8th grade level books.

At 9th grade, I was reading Shakespeare and The Maze Runner.

And even now, as a junior in college, I read all the time.

I’ve always been a reader.

When I started learning copywriting 10 months ago, it was no different.

I wanted to learn about it, so I picked up a book.

Now I’ve earned $20,000 writing online and have learned more than I ever could’ve imagined about marketing, copywriting, and online business…

Here are my top 5 copywriting books that’ll make you a pro direct-response copywriter:

1. The Adweek Copywriting Handbook

I’ve read this book 3 times. And I plan to read it a fourth. It is hands-down the most informational copywriting book I’ve ever read, and if you need somewhere to start, it’s also VERY beginner friendly.

2. Meaningful Marketing

I’ve read this book twice. It was written by a not-so-known copywriter, but it was super value packed! It goes into the philosophy behind good copywriting and good business as a whole. If you’re in this for the long run, you’re going to need these 38 principles at some point in your journey. Might as well read them now.

3. Cashvertising

I’ve read this once. And that’s because it’s such an informative book. It took me a while to get through. But it has literally (I kid you not) HUNDREDS of copywriting tips. And not even just that… it also has psychology principles and tidbits you can use in your marketing (whether for clients, your business, or something else). Highly recommend this one.

4. Storyworthy

I’ll admit, this one was a hard read to get through, ironically. But it was very value-packed, and the whole book was an entertaining story. If you think this won’t come in handy because you’re “selling” and not entertaining… then I’ll have you know that you’re sorely mistaken. Copywriting IS entertainment… and it’s also “selling” to your reader at the same time. I guarantee this will help you.

5. Copy To Cash

I wrote this book. I made it so you can read it within half an hour… but it’s also very value packed for anyone just starting out. It has 55 must-know insider copywriting secrets… and not only that, the guide also uses principles I learned from these books. I can guarantee that it’ll teach you something, plus you’ll enjoy reading it.
