If you’ve been writing copy for more than a hot minute, you’ll know the pressure of setting and meeting your income goals. Particularly if you’re trying to reach a big income goal like a six-figure one. On this episode of the Tried It podcast, copywriters Sarah and Nicole break down the pathways to running a six-figure copywriting business.
Sarah and Nicole discuss Joanna Wiebe’s 2023 book ‘The Six-Figure Freelance Copywriter’, which profiles 21 copywriters who hit the six-figure benchmark to ask them how they did it. They point out the common threads in their advice and also the conventional advice that copywriters hear about finding clients and earning money that doesn’t feature in the book. In a Tried It first, there’s also a surprise mention of Paris Hilton.
At the end of the episode, the hosts share the three implementation points that they will work on to boost their freelance income, which they will report back on in the next episode of the Tried It podcast.
