One number gets bandied around copywriting circles more than another other: six. Specifically, six figures. A six-figure income. A freelance copywriter with a six-figure income. But in the age of AI and with post-COVID market volatility, is that still even possible? Or realistic? Joanna Wiebe thinks so, and she wrote a book about it. In this episode of the Tried It Podcast, hosts Sarah and Nicole discuss what they learnt when they implemented the advice that Joanna and her copywriting buddies shared in The Six-Figure Freelance Copywriter. Listen out for long-term business growth strategies, handling the emotions of pivoting a business and the one thing that Donald Trump actually got right. For non-members, this is the last episode in the first season of the podcast, so thanks so much for sticking around!
