That is because it’s actually a very competitive field. But there are people making over $10K/mo easily - it’s called royalties. Write a great promotion that sells millions, you wrote yourself a nice big, fat check. But you can make $30-40K/mo out of 3-4 promos that you’re running that are doing well.I personally think 'copywriting', writing, and 'affiliate marketing' are awful businesses to get into.
Also people approach this niche wrong. The thing with copywriting is you have to work for the right clients, if you want to make big money. If you work for the wrong clients, forget it. So identifying the right clients is very important.
And affiliate marketing isn’t much different. To be successful, you need to go after the right markets with a strong offer. You can’t sell “anything” profitably, regardless of how good you are.
Remember Halbert back in the day… what did he say. It’s all in the list. The people you’re going after.
Most people go into copywriting thinking this is an easy business. It’s not. It takes a lot of brains and a lot of skill, a lot more than you’d even imagine when you’re first starting out.
