I just flew down to Miami to meet @CardinalMason so I could ask him how he made $2.3 million dollars with copywriting. He shares it all: landing his first client, how to become a god-tier writer, and the business model that made him millions as a beginner. And the craziest part of it all… He started less than 3 years ago. Hope you guys enjoy this one!

Shocking that your channel doesn't have 100X the subs. Solid storytelling.
$30,000 a month as a freelancer? No way! I've been a copywriter for 23 years. I know a lot of big shots. Even if you write for elite financial/health publishers, only a small percentage make that kind of money. Most freelance copywriters are in feast/famine cycles. This kid is apparently making his money selling copywriting courses. Not in freelancing.
Maybe if they are media buyers sending to their VSL's but that's a pro big money high risk game, but yeah freelancers need to leverage AI but still master skills
Are you freelancer or in house?
@@HoodieSource I was both.
You can do that freelancing.
How Can you teach me pleas
Super rad. Thanks for sharing this story!
The power of being able to write well and connect with a specific audience is so underrated (even now with chatGPT etc).
Loved that video and Mason's story is so cool!
I bet he's a blast to party with, so much energy and wit! 🎉
💪👍
amazing stories and video making
loved this vid. keep it up.
"34k dollars a month with just few hours of work every week." That sounds like an ad for a course. I mean isnt this too tall a claim. If it were that easy to make money writing copy, all seasoned copywriters would have put the Silicon Valley software engineers to shame already.
acutally it is, 30 secs of research - he sells a course about copywriting lol
It's not a few hours of work if you're at $34k a month. It's a ton. At my peak I was doing 60 hours a week, and I was super fast at writing. It's a grind, but it's possible. The caveat is that you need to have some business acumen as well as being able to write well. That combo is pretty rare, but people do it.
@@CardinalMasonlet them cry bro
@@CardinalMasondude I have been following senior copywriters like Alen Sultanic and Ben Settle for a while now. Even they have copywriting courses and masterminds. But they don't go about making such tall claims to convince newbie writers to buy their course.
@@calculatormasterof course kids like you will buy any BS thrown on the internet. Even with the right mindset and loads of work put in, 40k dollars a month by writing copy for clients is practically impossible. You gotta sell some course and all that s**t to earn that money.
Cant stop watching this video, the intro is killer!
Thanks 🔥🔥
Awesome! Super inspiring story
Thanks so much!
People that say that this isn't copywriting are flat out wrong.
This kid uses copywriting to do businesses and earn millions of dollars, he isn't just writing emails and promos for other people.
He has a entrepreneurial mindset, not a workers mindset. He is working for himself, not for others.
In other words, he is resourceful, unlike some people here.
Great interview too:)
Thanks for listening
Awesome story
Thank you 🔥🔥
very nice interview
Babe, starter story posted!! Good work bro
Thanks 👍
Patt I love your videosssss
Thanks ❤❤
Excellent video as always, can’t wait to get started with copywriting
Go for it! 👍
Start before you’re ready bro
Starter Story will be on top soon
Title of this video is one the best example of copywriting hats off to who ever wrote this
👍🔥
Really wish Starter Story was more affordable! Even with two other entrepreneurs, we thought splitting the Black Friday deal was still way too much...
Bro just called Mason the best copywriter in the world with absolute sincerity 😂😂😂
🤣
Yeah I called cap as soon as I heard that
@@starterstory ever heard of copywriters like David Deutsch, Tarzan Kay, Alen Sultanic, Stefan Georgi, Joanna Wiebe etc. These are folks who've been writing copy for 10-20 yrs now and they're also into copy coaching. You wouldn't have called Cardinal the best copywriter in the world had you done some reading on the history of copywriting and marketing.
@@entanglednervesyou ever heard of gary halbert before??
@@carljohnson-uc6qm Actually there are next gen copy guys like Saby and younger who can kill in the shorter form ADD tiktok world - Old school is fading but worth discaplined study
Thanks
I scrolled down to subscribe after this video…and realised I’m already subbed. Lol. Great channel and insight.
Awesome, thank you!
Do you still recommend get in to and put 1000 h learning, with all the AI just warming up?
I was on his TikTok Live and he said copywriting won't make you a millionaire...
Lol I’m just tryna work on my own terms much so a millionaire. I’m open to it but shit
Research is key - Why promote a quick rich scheme guy… channel credibility, dropped.
Establish relevance, build trust, create value.
make more videooooosssssss
He’s a cool kid
Where do I sign up for Alex in my inbox or whatever he said?
Never saw a 5th grader with a $60k gold Rolex before 😂
How do you get in to copy MBA...
Says closed
Intro music please ?
His always funny
the part about there only being about 5000 copywriters is most likely not accurate. Considering that he made a course where he regularly gets new people to join in, just how there's a lot of other courses that also teach copywriting. im sure there are wayyyyy more than 5000 copy writers. That number probably comes from a google statistic of copywriters that work for companies and agencies, not freelancers. Of course that doesn't mean that every single one of these copywriters are actually good and have clients
The world is smaller than you think.
If you actually googled this before commenting, you wouldn't have left the comment.
@@CardinalMason lmao oh and Google is gonna have freelancers listed as copywriters 🤦🏻♂️
@@starterstorydude you seriously need to do some reading before you blindly fall for these kind of stats thrown in by the ppl you invite in your podcasts. Check for the number of copywriters in one state of the US alone and you'd have more than 5000 of them. Every year there are thousands of copywriters graduating from some media or marketing school and pursuing that role as a 9-5 or as a freelancer.
interview george ten man he is literally GOD of copywriting what a fking legend
👍👍🔥
George Ten yes. But there are others like David Deutsch, Alen Sultanic, Ben Settle. They've been copywriting for more than 2 decades now.
Pleace make video and meet with SaaS entrepreneurs
Awesome bro , but how i can make money from digital marketing??? Can you help me guys🙏🏻
I don't use a website and I land clients but I'm gonna make one soon just to have it lol
Also, the market is SWAMPED with copywriters/writers. This idea that there's this tiny group of writers trying to serve 35 million businesses is BS. Most businesses are local businesses like retail, restaurants, roofers, plumbers, etc. They aren't gonna pay you $1,000 to write web copy for them! Geez man, the audacity of this! Like I said, I've been in this industry over 2 decades and I worked with Clayton Makepeace, the best ad writer in modern history. FYI, even if you do end up writing for the most elite companies that do hire top copywriters, it is an awful grind. You can't have a serious relationship or be a serious parent with those types of jobs/contracts. The work is too demanding, requires 10 hour days, weekends a lot of times, etc. And you're only as good as your last campaign. If you don't bat 100% on the last 3 promos, you're kicked out.
Kids fall for every clickbait man. That's how their so called "course" gets sold. Apparently they make most of the money from selling a course and not writing copy for clients.
Wow
You showed his apartment number. Edit it out because they are some weirdos out here.
True, all it takes is one good frame of what’s out the window and someone will know which building.
I am a little bit disappointed with the last few interviews in this channel...
Like the ChatGPT book guy, you have to vet the informations you provide, otherwise you'll lose credibility over time... some of these guys are 100% lying
He wakes up late... like 9am I wake up late... 11:30am! I like doing my work at night.
is this guy and stevie emerson related? they look so much alike
Haha totally. Sounds like him too
All these guys making their money selling courses
What is this title? How is he writing like 5th Grader?
Here before all of the haters
@@wiohrwqihr1329 because he's selling a course and he talks about open minded topics. And the idiots minds were in the wrong way 😂 they just couldn't understand him, and it's their problem 😅
LFG
@@mikachu4854 so being sick and tired of the usual "selling a course" strategy is being a hater? Wake up before you realize you are just a puppet.
he's like the Miles Teller of online money making
look at him!
Your just helping people like him sell their courses lol
FYI 58 seconds into vid u doxxed his Apt #. Fix ASAP
Thanks for the heads up!
What's happening for him now that AI is slowly eating away at copywriters?
Copywriting doesn't pay at all, it's one of the lowest forms of "jobs" in marketing. Like EVERYTHING else, you need to SELL your service.
Right at the beginning he reveals that he makes more money with selling courses
Isn't copywriting = sales in written form?
@@soccernaticit includes that but also everything of text in a website.
Nope. Copywriting is everything
It's literally text. And text is everywhere.
It is one of the highest paying skill. You just need to be good and work with people who have money.
@@giveuponyourdreamsanddie3369 lol highest paid skill😅 If that were the case then Investment bankers and Software Engineers wudnt have spent money learning those skills. There's a difference between someone with abundance mentality and someone being delusional.
Ok wheres the proof he earned 80k /mo?also this manson dude knows nothing about copywriting, he just sells the a course, that how be got rich, con.
In another podcast he claimed that he's made more than 600k in just 8 months this yr. Dude is simply interested in selling some "copywriting course". He's been in the copywriting game only for about 3 yrs now. Normally Copywriting coaches spend years writing marketing content for clients and when they have a huge portfolio of working with big brands they then pivot to coaching coz they have stats to show to students who enroll.
Just say you're a pro and sell your over priced course for poor people
Hi bro nice video, can we make a good content?
the thumbnail looks like a guy in 5th grade lol
Interviewing "the best copywriter" with shorts and a wrinkled Tshirt and uncombed hair? Shaking my head. Come on dude.
Should he have been in a suit?
@@starterstory business appeal bro.
@@rgasta7765cry about it
Mason is making his money from selling you his courses, if he was making as much as he stated, he wouldn't bother teaching you so called copywriting course. Remember courses are made to sell you a dream.
Selling courses is another streams of income he added to his income portfolio and there's nothing wrong with that.
Love Alex in my Inbox!
It's a classic
