I'm starting to suspect that the only people who actually make money copywriting are people who sell courses on how to start a career in copywriting.

Who else? 🥲

I make my living as a copywriter, I've worked in corporate, agencies and now freelance. This post seems like a call for help though... Are you ok Travis?

Im not a full time copywriter but I make a decent amount as a copywriter and I don't sell courses.

I used to sell courses on how to start a career in copywriting but I stopped because I was making more money doing copywriting.

I think the people who sell courses on copywriting simply are the loudest! I often struggle trying to find good role models of copywriters who do a great job marketing their work to actual clients, not other copywriters, because the coaching side of the industry is just so much more visible than those of us who are actually day-in and day-out doing the work.

Same Mike! And agreed, Phoebe.
