How I make money from Copywriting (8 Different Ways)

I get a lot of questions (especially from non-techie people) on how I make money from what I do, specifically copywriting stuff.The good part about making money from the internet is there’s multiple ways to monetize something. So while most of my income comes from selling a subscription to The Copywriting Course, my training program for writers, there’s roughly 8 different income streams surrounding my copywriting content.Here’s the way each revenue steam works:#1.) Copywriting Course Subscriptions:It sells a membership course that trains people to become better writers with a focus on selling. Small businesses buy this to learn how to write better company, companies buy it for their employees to teach them to write better copy. If people want help on their copy, they post it here, and myself and writers go through it and change it up for them. Then on Thursdays we get on an Office Hours call and take up to 8 questions from members, and re-do copy or talk strategy live on the call. So the Copywriting Course is a combination training and community…and we sell monthly and yearly subscriptions to it. #2.) Swipe File:A swipe file is a collection of good marketing materials you like or can learn from. Years ago I started building my own swipe file on a desktop folder. Also a phone folder. But then when I wanted to recall something like Pricing structures, I’d have to sift through the whole damn thing. So I created SwipeFile.com, where the whole world could access my private swipe file. I wanted to SwipeFile to be an independent site, and not necessarily related to Copywriting Course. The way it makes money is it has Google Adsense ads on it, and when someone clicks an ad, I get a portion of that revenue. Swipe File makes money and pays for itself, but the main goal of it is to build the worlds best swipe file.#3.) Book:I self published a book called This Book Will Teach You To Write Better. it sells on Amazon. I originally tried to make it free, but with Amazon I have to charge some money. I made it $5, and it was designed to be a readable-in-30 minutes crash course on writing copy. Till this day it still sells and has hundreds of reviews.I will say, of any form of income I make from the copywriting world, this book is the most “PASSIVE” of them all. I published it a few years ago, and have done NOTHING since. It just naturally sells on the Amazon platform, and still keeps going to this day. Honestly if I wanted to boost my passive income, I’d re-do this book and boost the price to $20/pop.#4.) 1-on-1 Consulting (aka, actually doing copywriting)!Before I started copywriting course people would ask for help with their email newsletters, and I’d charge them by the hour, sometimes by the project depending on the client. I would help people re-write things on the spot, which is honestly very rewarding in many ways: I got to see insider numbers of different companies, hear what methods work and don’t work for them, get to meet really cool people, and they pay me money. All around it’s pretty awesome.If all I did was consult, that would make a pretty good living. I think the reason most people find other income streams though is if you ONLY consult, your time becomes quite in demand, and your business can’t function without you. In fact, YOU are the business. This is why finding other streams of income outside of just consulting is...
