A Secret: How Much Money Copywriters ACTUALLY Make

In this episode of Copy That! we answer two of our favorite “It Depends” questions: “How much do copywriters really earn?” and “How much can a new copywriter expect to make when starting out?”

Like most “It Depends” questions… it’s complicated.

That’s why we decided to double the length of this month’s episode and get into all the details that go into how copywriters make money writing copy. Details like:

• The real impact of being freelance vs in-house
• How long it really takes to start making money as a beginner copywriter
• How much you should be making at each stage of your career
• When and how to ask for royalty checks
• Going “wide” vs “deep” when skilling up (Generalizing vs Specializing)
• And the BEST way to sell your services (without even using the word “copy”)
