As time went on, I moved around a lot and had jobs with local newspapers, doing publicity for a governor’s campaign, being on the editorial staff of some publications and was the editor of a newsletter for a hunting preserve association. I also have written articles in magazines of the dog world. So . . . . what do I do now as an old lady that wants a job. Can I get into becoming a copywriter?

Send me your thoughts. Thanks.

My career goal was journalism, but I changed to education. As a retired preschool teacher, I am looking for a second-act career. This time, I want to write stories to help influence advertising for clients, or stories to help businesses and show everyone that I have a creative way of seeing things. Tell me what needs to be said, or the issues that need to be addressed and I will research facts until the cause becomes my passion and the vision, I create with my story makes readers want to be part of the passion.

Hi Andrea! Great question! All of the training and bonus materials are via video from Nicki. Our special events and coaching calls are hosted by Nicki, Kate (you may recognize her from our podcast) and our other coaches. That is also the team that moderates our student only Facebook group.

My background isn’t exactly on the list (psychology), but I think it is inherently when we talk about communicating with people.

I can’t recall how I stumbled upon your introduction video and website, but I think it is exactly what I need to start this career.

I’ve got a question though. How much of the coaching and training is from you and how much is from a member of your team?

Thanks!
Andrea

To us, being “filthy rich” means having a job you love, doing it well, and being paid well for what you do – just what you’re looking for! We’re really happy you enjoyed the Q & A!

I have an Associates Degree with an emphasis on English and Creative Writing. I love writing, and I write short stories, scripts, and dabble in poetry once in a while. I’ve even worked for a season as a newspaper reporter. I stumbled across a sponsored page for Filthy Rich Writer on Instagram yesterday, and I’ve been doing a lot of thinking about it in these past 24 hours. I’m looking for an outlet for my creativity aside from short stories and scripts, and I would love to be able to support my family by doing what I love. Thank you for putting this bug into my mind, and giving me another option!

Hi Nomi,

That’s a great question, and one that we get a lot. We don’t generally recommend trying to write in languages other than your native language. There are so many nuances, idiosyncrasies, and constantly evolving slang terms in each language that even some native speakers have a hard time keeping up.

You’re in charge of your own career and if you feel that you utterly and completely mastered another language then we’ll leave it to you to decide, but just please note that you’ve been gently forewarned. ?

Thanks for commenting!
Nicki

Can a non-native English speaker realistically compete with native English speakers as a copywriter? English is my strongest language although I’m not a native English speaker. I find that native speakers inherently have a different way of expressing – which often sounds more interesting than how I would say it! So does that put me on the back foot straight away?

Hi Mary,

Copywriting can definitely be a fun career for someone who loves to write! It’s wonderful combination of both creativity and strategy; I liken it to getting to solve puzzles with words every day. 🙂 And I look forward to seeing you in the course!

Thanks for commenting!
Nicki
