❝When I started out as a copywriter 10+ years ago, I was real scrappy. I didn’t have any money or connections to give me a leg up — I just patched a portfolio together, sent cold emails, and applied for all the jobs. Soon I was writing for some of the biggest brands and agencies out there, and my income grew way faster than I ever expected. While you can fake it til you make it, how about I just show you?
All that you really need to get started making money as a copywriter is a portfolio that shows what you can do. I’ve designed this course around the assignments I do for clients so you’ll come out of it with a well-rounded copywriting portfolio, and all of the tools and knowledge you’ll need to maximize your income. ❞

Instructor
The only thing I love better than writing, is writing to ambient music… and getting paid to do it. I’ve made a living as a copywriter and content writer (same diff) for over 10 years, at least half of it working remotely, and let me tell you: it is the sweetest of gigs. Since 2020, I’ve been earning 6 figures purely for my creative writing and genuine excitement for ideas, and receiving more work opportunities than I could handle. Any freelancer will tell you: a steady stream of passive work is The Dream. I created this course to train aspiring copywriters to supply that demand. You’ll walk away with a portfolio and a plan – whether you’re here to build your own lifestyle business as a freelance copywriter, or looking for a cushy full-time J-O-B on the creative director track.
