Sara always loved writing but was told it didn’t pay well. So, like many of you, she pursued a “safer” job. While she loved helping kids as a speech therapist, the stress from her job made her feel like her health was on the back burner. And she couldn’t even comfortably take time off to visit family. 😩 So she asked Google what to do with her life (lol) and discovered copywriting. Soon, she was a Write Your Way to Freedom student. 🥳 This was the answer she had been looking for. With copywriting, Sara was able to… ❤️ Combine all her passions into one job 🏰 Work in city cafes and historic libraries 🥰 Help people communicate Plus, she could travel to visit her family whenever she wanted. 🙌 Sara plans on continuing to grow her copywriting business from here—creating packages, building her SEO, and focusing on website and email copy. And that’s one of the things Sara loves about this field. Being able to celebrate success while feeling like there’s still so much to learn. She told me recently, “I just remember how nervous I felt about switching careers and doubting whether I could realistically make it work… I think finally trusting myself enough was key to taking the leap.” And that’s so powerful! 🔥 Timestamps: 00:00 Sara's success story 11:41 Grad school vs. betting on herself 13:55 Life now 23:18 View of marketing 24:51 Client acquisition 27:21 Final thoughts ---------------------------------------------------------- Find out more information on how YOU can live life on YOUR OWN TERMS 👇 https://www.writeyourwaytofreedom.co/6-months-to-freedom-through-copywriting-youtube ---------------------------------------------------------- #sarahturner #copywriting #freelancer #writeyourwaytofreedom

Let’s talk about the elephant in the room. 🐘 It’s hard to deny that AI’s popularity is skyrocketing. It seems like every business under the sun is turning to programs like Chat GPT. But here’s the catch businesses are already starting to realize… AI just isn’t as effective or easy to use as they think. 💫 And some businesses are actually choosing to *invest in their writers* rather than replace them. At the end of the day, marketing is an ever-changing industry. And AI will likely keep improving. But this is *not* the end for copywriters. As a copywriter, It’s always been necessary to keep learning, adapting, and investing in your business. And it’s no different now. Because to excel, especially in today’s world, you need to know so much more than how to write copy. Knowing how to strategize, build systems, and troubleshoot problems means you’re no longer just a copywriter but a copy engineer. And you become irreplaceable to a business. 😎 In this week’s video, I’m going over all the reasons why I’m actually excited about AI. 🤩 Plus, you’ll learn how you can ethically start using it to simplify your business and writing process. Ready to get excited with me? Let’s dive in!

Elizabeth has so much wisdom to share with you! From a background in entertainment to her first online marketing business in 2010, writing was always a huge part of her professional life. 💫 Then, Elizabeth found Write Your Way to Freedom. Taking the program gave her direction. Plus, it allowed her to combine so many of her interests and talents—including her passions of spirituality and energy. She knew working with traditional clients wasn’t what her heart called her to do, so she created her own unique way of supporting writers and creators in their businesses. And she’s successfully walking this new path today. 🙌 Now Elizabeth is creating digital products, including a brand new journal she recently launched. And she’s sharing helpful tips for anyone interested in creating a digital product of their own. 😊 In my chat with Elizabeth, she talks about the importance of believing in yourself enough to go after what you truly desire. ❤️ She told me she’s learned that “it's never too late to start over or allow a new version of yourself to shine forth. It's never too late to believe in yourself or learn something new.” And I couldn’t agree more. 😍 This was an incredibly valuable conversation.
