Today I read about a young guy named Mason who made an average £28,470 per month in 2021.

The article is based on a video that Mason, a freelance copywriter from America, shared on the popular video sharing platform TikTok where he talked about how he made £28,470 per month writing for clients.

I don’t know if he is still writing for the same people or not but he states that he was working for ten different agencies and brands.

The work itself took very little time to complete each week, partly because Mason is fast at writing and is – in his own words – a natural.

All the clients paid him a retainer each month to work on specific jobs.

In the video he broke down his monthly work in hours and income per client which looked like this:

• Client 1: $5,000 a month working 10 hours a week.
• Client 2: $4,500 a month working three to four hours a week.
• Client 3: $1,500 a month working two to three hours a month.
• Client 4: $2,200 a month working an hour a week.
• Client 5: $3,000 a month working one to two hours a week.
• Client 6: $1,200 a month working an hour a week.
• Client 7: $3,500 a month working five hours a week.
• Client 8: $6,000 a month working four hours a week.
• Client 9: $2,400 a month working two hours a week.
• Client 10: $4,600 a month working for six to eight hours a week.

One client paid him $5,000 (£4,200)  to write between 8 and 15 emails each day which took him 10 hours a week. Mason claims that he can write emails in as little as 30 seconds.

If that is the case, and it took him as little as that to write those emails, then all I can say is that there wasn’t a lot of substance to those emails.

They certainly are not the type of emails I send out.

I’d say that anyone with a basic understanding of copywriting could write those emails.

He was also paid a lot of money to write adverts to be shown on social media and the Google display network. These adverts are not lengthy and often require just a few paragraphs.

He did say that a lot of what he wrote was done using templates and formulas which made the whole process a lot easier.

As a copywriter myself, I can tell you that once you have a basic understanding of copywriting, you are ready to make money…

And copywriters can make a lot of money!

Mason was even being paid thousands of pounds to write titles and descriptions for YouTube videos and write social media posts.

He was probably writing less than what most people write when they create a Facebook post… but he was getting paid for it.

People are generally afraid of copywriting, believing that they either don’t have a natural ability or don’t have the necessary skills.

The truth is you don’t need a lot of natural talent or skill to make a decent amount of money as a copywriter.

You just need to know and understand what to write and how, along with a basic understanding of human nature.

That’s it.
