Copywriting versus content writing: income potential

How Much Can You Make with Content Writing vs. Copywriting?

By ashleygainer | February 27, 2020

For the longest time I avoided copywriting because I was intimidated by it. I stuck with content writing because I knew I was good at it and could do it. So I want to help demystify things for others with my courses, Facebook group, podcast, and everything I do. Why choose one over the other […]

Thank you, Ashley! By following your advice I just got my first paying gig.

Without a website or any social media presence! I used the clips I created in Clips Camp and I just decided to go for it. I would not have taken these steps to launch my freelance business without your guidance. You are so real and honest about your journey; you made freelance writing seem possible. And now it is possible for me. I have never felt more confident in myself and my abilities!

Your classes, Facebook group, Instagram, and just general approachability have really driven me to want to succeed at this.

It feels like someone is in my corner all the time. Thanks for your mentoring- keep up the great work!!
