Journalism. Oddly enough, writing sales copy that produces results breaks just about every grammer and punctuation rule I ever learned in university. To write effective sales copy, it's important to write in a conversational tone. Like this. As if you were talking directly to the person. And you use a lot of sentence framents as well. The copy flows better and it's effective because then you can make your sales message seem like a regular conversation instead of a sales pitch. There's also a carefully designed structure behind well-crafted sales copy as well.

Never was good at English... Do you know what other qualifications you need to get into that job?

It's helpful if you know how to sell. Why? because that's what you're doing with the copy you write AND you have to find clients in the early going. Go to this site www.awaionline.com...I took the copywriting course and it was great. But I also had a successful 15 year sales career to help me as well. Work at learning how to sell if you don't know already and get some copywriting training.

You can learn this. Many people who have very little writing experience and very little sales ability have done very well. The first thing to understand is that you do not have to be good at English to do well at this. In fact, that's probably a detriment in some ways.
