So, let's talk about the 3 keys to high income.
How do you make money as a copywriter?
How do you hit the six-figure income?
Yes, it is not just doable, it is very possible
to hit six-figure income as a copywriter,
I did it in my 20s.
It's very very possible.
So key number one, and that is, most struggling copywriters
they spend way too much time hunting, and not writing.
You see, most struggling copywriters,
before they come to me and study with me,
when I ask them, so what do you do, what are you doing now,
like your day to day, and they would say,
oh I spend a lot of time going to these sites
and looking for gigs and hoping that they like my skill
and back and forth with the client
and hunting and negotiating and invoicing.
Everything that they do, they do everything except writing.
They spend a majority, a bulk of their time
on these things, that actually don't make them money.
That's not what makes them money,
you make money as a copywriter
guess what, by writing.
You're not writing, you're not making money, right?
But most people, they don't understand,
so if you look at how much time you spend on a weekly basis
on writing versus everything else,
you would know the reason why
you're not making the income that you want,
it's because you are not spending time writing.
You're not spending enough time writing.
So that's key number one, it's very obvious
but it's a very important key.
Number two.
You want to write for clients who can afford to pay you.
Duh, like hello.
Of course, but then why do so many people,
so many writers and copywriters,
they go to Fiverr, right, they're doing the $5 jobs
the $10 job, the $20 job, well let me ask you a question.
Let's say you want to make six-figure,
let's say you want to make a $100,000 a year okay.
Well how many five, $10 jobs would you have to do
to hit even like, $8000, $9000, $10,000 a month?
It's gonna take you a lot of damn jobs.
It's just not gonna happen, forget about it.
It's not gonna happen.
Instead, you want to work with clients
who can afford to pay you.
When I say they can afford to pay you,
meaning that they don't mind paying you
a good rate, a good price, because they're getting
a return on their money.
So if you're writing to produce results
you're writing the emails, you're writing the landing page,
and it helps them to convert more customers,
to generate more lead, to generate more revenue,
they're more than happy to pay you a premium price,
and then you don't really have to worry about,
you know what, I need to spend a lot of time hunting
or they're gonna nickel and dime you,
well they're not gonna do that.
The ones who're intelligent, it's a no-brainer.
I spend a 1000, $2000 with you,
I pay you $2000 on a project, you make me $20,000.
When can we do this again, right?
Versus people on certain websites
because the frame of mind they are in
those customers, they're cheap customers
difficult customers.
Right, you do something for 5, $10,
I mean they're just like,
they want you to include everything
and the damn kitchen sink and they're still not happy.
You do not want those customers.
So write for people who can afford to pay your rate.
It's who you write for, not just what you write.
Key number three,
and that is specialize your copywriting skill.
So as you grow in, the beginning of my career,
I was writing for all kinds of companies and businesses,
I was writing for a landscaper, a plumber,
and they would pay me 200, 100, 300, $400 to write an ad.
That's how I got started, I remember back then
it was Yellow Pages, I know, I know, I know,
some of you don't know what Yellow Pages are.
It's those yellow pages with business's
information in it, and then you say Dan, we have Google
yeah this is before Google is popular okay.
Old days, old days, so Yellow Pages and we would write an ad
for them, it's kinda lead generation ad, and there we are.
And I couldn't, I just couldn't charge the money I wanted,
because they were not willing,
they don't understand marketing, that's the problem.
They're not very sophisticated business people,
they're kinda like small business owner.
So when I switch my focus to write certain kind of copy,
for certain type of businesses,
now I spend the same amount of time,
I do the same amount of work, but suddenly I could charge
two, three, four, five times more money,
because of specialization.
You want to specialize, example, you might specialize
within so many industries,
you might specialize in the financial industry,
you might specialize in the health industry,
and even that, you can specialize so much,
you might just, you know within health,
I want to specialize in weight loss,
on diet plan, within that you may say,
you know I want to specialize in keto,
that's it.
Guess what, you could charge way more money for that
versus well I can write for anybody,
any company, any industry,
then you're not very valuable as a copywriter.
Versus someone who's looking for a particular copywriter,
and you are that copywriter,
that this is what you specialize in,
and more importantly, the more you do,
the more you write for that industry, guess what,
you will have insights that no one else would have.
You would know the industry inside and out.
You will know the regulations inside and out,
and you will know those customers prospects inside and out.
And you'd know, you'd have a good idea
a good understanding of what offer would convert.
That's what your client is paying for.
Results, if you can give them the shortcut,
give them the shortcut.
And the longer you write for a certain industry,
the more insights you'll have,
the more understanding you'll have
when it comes to the needs of the marketplace,
you'll understand the language,
you'll understand the regulations,
and that gives you an edge,
and that's what your clients are paying for,
they're paying for results,
and if you have those understandings
and other, new copywriters,
other copywriters in the marketplace
don't have those understandings,
understanding those distinctions, right now,
then you can charge way more money.
I know this sounds so simple, these three keys,
but truly, those are the three keys that allows me
to make a six-figure income at a very young age,
in my early 20s, it's amazing, those three simple keys.
You see, maybe you've been doing copywriting
for some time, or you've been a copywriter
for a number of years,
but you're still not at that six-figure income mark yet,
you're still struggling a bit.
Maybe you're just missing a few key pieces of information.
Within our company,
we're always looking for good copywriters,
and I have copywriters working from home
earning a great living.
But I only hire copywriters who've gone through my training,
who are my mentees, because they are the ones
who understand what I do,
understand my culture and my brand.
So if you are serious, I mean very very serious,
not just curious, to becoming a six-figure copywriter,
that you are coachable,
that you are willing to roll up the sleeves,
willing to learn, willing to put in the effort.
