Filthy Rich Writer

Tips, tools, & training for new and aspiring copywriters.

Tips, Tools and Training for New and Aspiring Copywriters

  • What does “Filthy Rich” mean? It means having a job you love, being good at what you do…and making great money doing it!

The Everything-You-Need Copywriting Course (Really)

You want to break into copywriting. But you don’t know where to get started or what copywriting course is legit.

Or you’re not loving the idea of losing two or more years of your life and $34,800 in portfolio school or earning some other degree. Good news: you don’t need a copywriting certificate, certification, or degree to become a copywriter (anyone telling you otherwise truly hasn’t worked in this business!).

You do, however, need training.

That’s why we created the Comprehensive Copywriting Course (CCA)—to give you everything you need to get started as a copywriter, whether you want to work on staff at an agency or company, or build a thriving freelance copywriting business of your own.


About the Comprehensive Copywriting Academy

The Comprehensive Copywriting Academy includes everything you need to learn how to write copy, as well as how to stand out from other copywriters (trust us, there’s plenty of work to go around!), create an online portfolio, find and land clients, and more!

It’s everything our founder Nicki Krawczyk has learned over 20+ years working in the business, not just as a six-figure freelancer, but also working as a contractor, on staff, within ad agencies, and as a Copy Director for multi-billion dollar companies, solopreneurs, and every sized business in between.

So, no matter what YOU want your career to look like, Nicki and our team of copywriting and marketing experts can help you get there, whether it’s writing from a beach in Bali, working from your kitchen table, or thriving on staff with a company.

The "CCA Action Sheets Workbook," a valuable part of the copywriting course, sits on a teal tiled table with two beds beside it.

There are so many ways to build a thriving copywriting career (as many ways as there are copywriters!). Our system ensures you can choose what works best for you, even as what’s best for you changes and evolve

The best way to learn more about the CCA is to sign up for our free copywriting training where you’ll not only learn more about the CCA, but also how you can build your copywriting career in just 30 minutes each day.


Why It’s the Most Comprehensive Copywriting Course

This isn’t the type of course where you learn about copywriting, but don’t learn how to find and land work. Or you learn how to write for one type of copy project and no others. This is designed to be comprehensive (it’s how we got the name!).

And it’s designed to help you hit your career goals, whether that’s working part-time or full-time. From a villa in Italy or from your kitchen table. On staff or as a work-from-home freelance. 6 figures or side income to support your next vacation.

What You’ll Learn

Through six, online, self-paced foundational modules, and 145+ deep-dive courses you’ll get step-by-step instruction from copywriting pros. You’ll learn how to:

  • Use fundamental copywriting techniques and tactics for more effective copy.
  • Write for digital marketing (emails, banner ads, websites, online content).
  • Write for print media (ads, direct mail, sales letters, corporate pieces).
  • Navigate the creative process with confidence from kick-off to creative review.
  • Work with a graphic designer.
  • Create your online and print portfolios.
  • Build your experience—from your first client onward.
  • Find freelance clients so you can build a thriving business without dry spells.
  • Land a full-time job at an agency or company.
  • And so much more!

After 10 years (!) of teaching thousands of students to become copywriters (check out a few of their stories here and see even more of their wins here), we’ve continued to add deep-dive copywriting courses on topics so you always have the information you need to move forward in your copywriting career.

The best part? When you join the Comprehensive Copywriting Academy, you get lifetime access. That means students get any and every new course we add absolutely free.

Plus, you get daily support from copy coaches within our private students-only Facebook group, as well as monthly coaching calls, surprise events (like the annual Pitch-a-Palooza and Freelance Summit), and more—all included!

Meet Your Support Crew

When you join the CCA, you get the support from Nicki, our head copy coach Kate, and our fabulous team of coaches who have been in your shoes! CCA students also receive support from Filthy Rich Writer’s team of experts in marketing, operations, design, and more.

Meet the CCA Copy Coaches

Nicki’s personally trained all of the coaches, so you can be sure you’re getting the highest level of support. (And that’s especially great because Nicki’s only one person with one person’s time!) That ensures you get the support you need, when you need it with two coaching calls a month, plus portfolio reviews, and more.

Stuart

Until Stuart saw Nicki’s ad for Filthy Rich Writer, he was a frustrated, furloughed manager for an international airline, worrying he would end up as another 2020 redundancy statistic, desperately searching for a new job to pay the mortgage.

Now, with a successful copywriting career, the mortgage is safe, and he wants to help you! As an experienced coach, Stuart can’t wait to work with you to develop your copywriting voice and is in your corner to support you as you grow.

Stacy

Once an in-house PR pro, Stacy ditched the 80-hour corporate work weeks for freelancing freedom. The result? More money, less time spent working, better life balance.

As a coach, Stacy is here to help you reach your goals: a portfolio that impresses, strategic pitching that gets you clients, and confidence to know you can build the life you’ve always wanted.

Amy

For 13 years, Amy worked in market research, managing projects and people—both putting out fires and lighting them! After corporate burnout, she joined the CCA and never looked back.

As a lifelong storyteller, gamer, and puzzle solver, Amy is here to:
-Help you build your business
-Strategize and support your upcoming wins
-To Watson whatever’s holding you back

She’s Watson because you’re Sherlock: You can figure it out—you just need a push.

Coaching for big picture, small details, or general overwhelm? Let’s do this!

Dori

After working in healthcare for 15 years, getting married, and starting a family, Dori knew there was more to life than a soul-crushing 9-5. She saw her key to freedom when an ad for the CCA came across her feed. Now she is the kind of mom she dreamed she could be while making an income on her terms.

Dori knows changing careers to pursue your dreams can be daunting. She’d love to help you clear the noise and find your way forward!
