Hi all,

I am curious. I have read ads for home study courses to learn copywriting. Many of these ads mention income potentials that
seem exaggerated, just a bit.

I'm not sure how to ask this, but I'm certain that if you decide to answer you will find the way that is most comfortable for you. Or, you can email me directly if that works for you. ghopkins at optonline.net

Is anyone, with 2 years or less as a copywriter, making over $100,000 per year? Is this possible?

If you answered yes, what was your background? Did you already have experience as a writer? Did you have a background in sales or marketing?

I'm just trying to filter through much of the hype that's out there. I don't personally know anyone who is a copywriter.

Thanks for considering my question. This is only for my personal education. I will not be sharing this information with anyone else.
If you choose not to respond, I understand completely.

My experience is, "yes," as long as you attack a niche. You know, there are marketing courses for copywriters. (I'm coming out with my own in about a month or so from now. It's going to be huge!)

But there are a few more, like Bob Bly's:

But I see this more possible (and seen it happen) when there copywriter focuses on a niche to start with. To keep this post short, here's my blog entry to explain:

Hey

One of my own students has just clinched a contract for $27,000. He began his copywriting career on Jan 8th 2005 when he attended my Masterclass.
