Building a Work-From-Home Writing Career, With Nicki Krawczyk, Ep. 47

Nicki Krawczyk is a copywriter from Massachusetts, USA, with 15+ years of experience, writing for multi-billion-dollar companies, solopreneurs, and every size business in between. She also coaches people to become professional copywriters and build thriving careers of their own through her company Filthy Rich Writer and her Comprehensive Copywriting Academy. For Nicky, being "filthy rich" means having a job you love, being good at what you do, and making great money doing it. She’s passionate about helping people take their writing skills and turn them into a marketable business. Even during the difficult times that the pandemic brought, Nicki and her community found that many businesses that were focused on survival brought in freelance copywriters who helped them adjust their marketing which helped quite a number of copywriters thrive.

In this episode, Nicki talks about her own work situation, how she has embraced the energy that she has in the early mornings to focus her productivity on her most important tasks first thing in the morning, as that is what she has learned works best for her. She also delves into the skills that copy editors need to develop and explains that certificates don’t really have a place in this industry. She breaks down the difference between copywriting, copyediting, content writing, proofreading, and the relationship copywriters have with graphic designers. Nicki also coaches freelancers who work outside of the copywriting realm in some of the more general skills that they can apply to their business as well through another part of her business, Fired Up Freelance. She offers different levels of support, free and paid, for those who are interested in making a career out of copywriting.
