150. A Day in the Life of a Copywriter

Filthy Rich Writer
About this episode

One of the selling points of a career in copywriting is the flexibility of how you structure your work. But if you’re not yet making your living as a full-time copywriter, you might be wondering how a copywriter actually spends their time. 

While this is going to look completely different from one person to another (especially as there are different routes like freelancing or working on-staff), there will still be some commonalities. In this episode, Nicki and Kate talk us through the details of a day in the life of a copywriter and how best to use your time when you’re feeling more or less creative!
