Part #5: How To Earn More In The Next Year Than Most Writers Earn In Five
I’ve done everything you said (and even raised my prices on Fiverr). I’ve also gained another client on retainer until the end of the year and am now doing $4-5K a month. I don’t even take Fiverr orders anymore unless they pay extremely well.
Thank you, Jacob. I landed my first client from cold pitching thanks to your training. Best money I’ve ever spent. Thank you for all you do.
This week I started working with my first client. They’re paying me $14,000 for a 14-week project that I estimate will require about 4 hours per day of my time. That’s roughly $50 per hour. Exactly the rate I was looking to start out at. It all started because I did my value prop homework.
Hey Jacob, I’m a student in your copywriting class. Thanks to you, I’ve already made my first $500 through cold emailing!

Freelance copywriting is the career you’ve been looking for.
It will give you:
- Full control over your own income, allowing you to go out and earn additional income whenever you need it.
- Full control over your own schedule, allowing you to work from the safety and comfort of your own home
- Complete stability through uncertain economic times, as you offer a service that businesses need in both good and bad economies.
And it’s not difficult to get started.
If you can:
- Listen to an entrepreneur tell you about their business and then turn those thoughts into words,
- Handle a variety of relatively simple tasks at the same time,
- And stay stay persistent through minor, unexpected challenges…
… then you have what it takes to be a freelance copywriter!
In the previous 5 videos, we’ve covered everything you need to get started:
- Learn the basics of persuasive writing and the structure of either blog writing, website copywriting, or email copywriting.
- Choose the type of copy you will offer and the niche you will offer it to.
- Get out and present your offer to 20+ businesses every week.
This is all you need to get rolling, and you can do it RIGHT NOW, with no additional resources needed!
You might be tempted to think that I’m making it seem simpler than it actually is.
But remember that simple doesn’t mean easy.
I’m not going to pull any punches with you.
Running your own business… even one as reliable and straightforward as copywriting… is never EASY.
A lot of things will conspire to derail you:
- You will struggle to prioritize working on this when life gets in the way.
- You will second guess yourself if your first handful of pitches don’t immediately make you money.
- You will battle against getting distracted and losing focus over the course of 2 weeks… let alone 3 months.
- You will lose a lot of potential clients doing your own trial and error through the pitching and sales processes.
- You will make a lot of avoidable mistakes while working with your first clients.
But if you can push through these challenges, either by yourself or with help, you can literally change your life and succeed in a career that gets you excited to wake up every morning!
I want to give you the best possible chance to succeed.

Hi, my name is Jacob McMillen, and I’m a six-figure freelance copywriter, content strategist, and writing mentor.
I made $80k net my first year as a full time freelancer, $130k the following year, and $220k the year after that. This income wasn’t from selling courses or running Facebooks ads or any other tactics that won’t be included in this course. While I added some additional revenue sources in that third year, I was able to average $15k per month solely from writing gigs.
But my success isn’t all that important. What’s important is whether or not I can help YOU succeed, and for that goal, my own journey and success simply aren’t enough.
That’s why I’ve been experimenting with ways to help writers succeed for the last three years. It’s why I’ve reviewed numerous trainings, membership groups, and resources. And it’s why every time I make a new friend doing six figures as a freelance writer, I interview them and figure out how they do it.
As a result, I’ve managed to reverse-engineer a process that will take anyone with baseline writing talent and entrepreneurial ambition to full-time income in their first three months and even six figures in their first calendar year.
And by anyone, I mean YOU, assuming you meet you the following criteria:
- You are already a decent writer (or better)
- You are a decent problem solver with some level of self-initiative
- You are going to invest at least 10 hours per week into your copywriting career.
If you struggle with words, writing as a career probably isn’t for you. If you get overwhelmed by any roadblock or challenge that pops up, freelancing definitely isn’t for you. And if you aren’t going to invest at least 10 hours per week into your freelance copywriting career, that’s okay, but growth is going to happen much slower and six figures won’t be attainable for a few years.
If you said yes to all three criteria, perfect!
Here’s what the course covers.
Learn how to write exceptional copy that drives sales, excites clients, and puts money in your pocket.
The first step to becoming a successful writer is learning how to write.
You know this. Everyone else knows. This type of training makes up the majority of most copywriting courses.
BUT
Where most courses will give you tips, tricks, and techniques, I give a complete, exhaustive system for writing copy in three key areas:
- Website copy
- Email copy
- Blog content
These are the three most lucrative writing services you can offer online, and I take you through the process, step-by-step, of writing each type of copy within the context of offering it as a service. To PROVE how serious I am about “step by step” training, I published my lesson on website copywriting for free on my blog. Check it out here.
The other issue that most training doesn’t address is that it’s not enough to just write good copy for the end user. At the end of the day, your client is the one paying your check, NOT the end users it’s written for. I’ll show you how to involve the client in a way that gets them excited about what you are writing while also driving sales and putting money in your pocket.
Learn how to land clients immediately AND build a stream of high quality leads that come straight to you, month after month, no cold pitching or prospecting required.
There are only two ways to land clients. By going out and pitching to them or by having them come to you directly.
Setting up a system that brings them to you takes time…. like 6-12 months time. Pitching brings them in NOW.
The problem I see with most freelancer training is that it only really focuses on one of these areas. Either you learn how to pitch, make some decent money now, and then three years later, you are still having to constantly pitch and barely making any more than you were at the beginning.
OR, you learn how to build a lead system, but you aren’t making any money in the short term and you burn out.
I’ll show you how to do both. With my system, you’ll be able to land clients now, AND you’ll be investing a small portion of your time each week building a channel that will eliminate your need to pitch within the next 6-12 months.
The channel I used for this was SEO. I was able to rank on the front page for stuff like “website copywriter”, “professional copywriter”, “expert copywriter”, etc. You’d be surprised at how easy this was, and the opportunity is still WIDE open, because so few copywriters understand SEO. I’ve gotten so good at it, that I’m now ranking front page for much more difficult search terms like “copywriter” (Don’t take my word for it. Go check).
If I had been teaching you this earlier in my career, I just would have taught you SEO, but I’ve learned that everyone has different strengths, and SEO isn’t for everyone. After interviewing all of my six-figure writing friends, I’ve realized there’s actually three different ways to build a six-figure recurring leads channel, and the one that works best for each person will be different.
I’ll teach you all three… step-by-step.
Learn how to setup and launch your freelance writing business, run it like a true professional, and become a recognized, sought-after authority in your niche.
If I’m being honest, the previous two topics are really all you need to hit six figures… but they aren’t everything that goes into being a successful freelancer, and my goal for this course is to teach you EVERYTHING you need to know.
That’s why the final topic area I cover is setting up, running, and evolving your business.
I’ll show you how to setup your business (including your brand, website, etc). I’ll show you all the key processes you need to run your business, onboard clients, and manage client relationships. And I’ll show you how to evolve your business over time to become a recognized player in your niche.
I’m not a celebrity, but people in the marketing niche know who I am. They know my friends as well. If you follow my training, within a few years, they’ll know your name too.
How The Course Works
I’ve broken the entire freelancing experience into 5 pivotal modules:
Module #1: Learn How To Write Copy
In this module, I’ll teach the fundamentals of persuasive copywriting AND show you exactly how to write the three most lucrative forms of copy: website copy, email copy, and longform blog content. I’ll take you step by step through the process of writing the copy itself AND delivering the copy as a service to your clients.
Module #2: Learn How To Launch Your Freelance Business
In this module, I’ll walk you step by step through choosing your brand, niche, and service, launching your website, and creating your freelance workflows and processes. If you’re on a tight budget, I’ll show you the cheapest ways to get this all done while maintaining a high level of quality. If you have some additional capital to invest, I’ll show you where spending a bit more now will give you ideal results and save you a tone of time and money in the long run.
Module #3: Learn How To Get Clients NOW
I’ll this module, I’ll show you the RIGHT way to pitch. Pitching is the ONLY way to get clients now, but most freelance writers make it way harder than it has to be and shoot themselves in the foot at every step in the process. I’ll show you where to pitch, how to pitch, how to close sales when you get an opening, and how to upsell small projects and “bad clients” into large, recurring contracts.
Module #4: Learn How To Bring Clients To You
In this module, I’ll show you how to build a marketing channel that brings a stready stream of high-paying clients straight to you, month after month, no pitching, cold calling, or prospecting required. This is the ONLY difference between copywriters making $50k per year versus $100k per year. I’ll teach you three different ways to do this, and you can choose the one that best fits your personality and strengths.
Module #5: Learn How To Become More Than A Writer
In this module, I teach you how to transition from freelance writer to niche authority and marketing consultant, allowing you to command higher rates, land larger gigs, and have the freedom to do whatever you want with your career. The only reason writing is such a reliable way to make six figures today is because it’s an integral part of online marketing and sales. By learning how your writing fits into that ecosystem, you can essentially promote yourself within the ecosystem and occupy whatever role you desire.
These modules will include written and video training plus homework, delivered via a membership site. This is DIY training that you can go through at your own pace and will never disappear. The training is step-by-step and includes video walkthroughs in areas where visuals are most needed. The homework is designed to provide you with tangible steps to take through each part of the training.
While the course has everything you need to succeed RIGHT NOW, I make fairly substantial additions to the course every quarter. I’m an active freelancer myself, and I work side by side with nearly 100 other experienced freelancers in my Write Minds community, so I’m always learning about new tools and techniques and adding them to your arsenal. For this reason, I highly recommend getting the course versions that include lifetime updates.

You DO NOT need a course to succeed as a copywriter.

Because there is no faster, more efficient way to become a successful copywriter than through the pathway my course will take you on.

If you’re just getting started and can’t afford to stumble around with no income over the next year, this is your fast track to full-time income.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Can I launch a freelance writing business even if I’m not an expert in any particular field?
100% yes.The only thing you need to launch your business is the ability to deliver one of the following services:
- website copywriting
- email copywriting
- blog writing
You’ll probably suck at these at first. Everyone does. But you just have to be able to do it and then you learn as you practice on low paying gigs. To give you a feel for the depth I’m aiming for in this course, I published about 90% of what will be included in the website copywriting lesson (1 of 18 lessons) to my blog here.
If you find that blog helpful, you’ll love the course.
Is there followup and support during or after the course?
This course is DIY and intended to provide you with everything you need to succeed on your own. I am always available to answer questions, and I go out of my way to provide in-depth answers for students, but outside of that, there is no formal support system attached to this course.
The goal of this course is to supply the right information and focus for a low, fixed cost, and then once you’ve demonstrated you have the initiative by getting your business off the ground, we offer Write Minds for more ongoing support, learning, and camaraderie.
I’m not a native English speaker. Can I succeed as an English focused freelance writer?
The answer to this will be based entirely on how well you’ve mastered the English language and what price point you are aiming for. The good news is that the best copywriting is very simple. It’s not grammatically difficult and it doesn’t use a large vocabulary. In fact, native English speakers with a literary background often struggle to simplify their writing enough to succeed in this business.
I’ve worked with numerous non-native speakers who are absolutely killing it, including several who are doing six-figures and more. So the answer is yes, it’s possible to succeed, but whether your English is currently good enough is something I wouldn’t be able to say for sure until I’ve personally assessed your writing.

I’ve done everything you said (and even raised my prices on Fiverr). I’ve also gained another client on retainer until the end of the year and am now doing $4-5K a month. I don’t even take Fiverr orders anymore unless they pay extremely well.
Thank you, Jacob. I landed my first client from cold pitching thanks to your training. Best money I’ve ever spent. Thank you for all you do.
This week I started working with my first client. They’re paying me $14,000 for a 14-week project that I estimate will require about 4 hours per day of my time. That’s roughly $50 per hour. Exactly the rate I was looking to start out at. It all started because I did my value prop homework.
Hey Jacob, I’m a student in your copywriting class. Thanks to you, I’ve already made my first $500 through cold emailing!
