Takeaways

• 😀 The difference between making $11,000 and $110,000 per month as a copywriter is more about the right niche and target audience, rather than just copywriting skills.
• 😀 Not every business will hire a freelance copywriter, even though every business needs copywriting.
• 😀 Some niches are not worth pursuing as a freelance copywriter due to low opportunities, such as e-commerce, skincare, cosmetics, and local businesses.
• 😀 E-commerce businesses often have small profit margins, and their customers are more influenced by products and reviews than by copywriting.
• 😀 Large corporations tend to prefer in-house marketing teams rather than hiring freelancers, making them challenging clients to work with.
• 😀 SaaS (Software as a Service) businesses often only hire internally for marketing needs, making them tough prospects for freelance copywriters.
• 😀 Startups are risky for copywriters as they lack proven offers and data, meaning copywriting efforts may not yield substantial results.
• 😀 Local businesses have limited markets and are often better served by traditional marketing (e.g., flyers, billboards) rather than online copywriting.
• 😀 While working in a single niche can be effective, it’s important to expand to multiple niches over time to find new prospects and avoid saturation.
• 😀 Competition in niches isn’t necessarily a bad thing—being a skilled copywriter and marketer can help you stand out, even in a competitive market.
• 😀 It's better to choose niches based on profitability rather than passion—businesses in sectors like real estate, B2B coaching, and business opportunities are ideal for copywriters.
• 😀 Real estate coaches and consultants, B2B coaching, and B2B done-for-you agencies are among the most lucrative niches in 2025, offering high-ticket opportunities.
• 😀 Business opportunity (BizOp) niches, like personal branding and entrepreneurship education, have strong demand for copywriting due to frequent product launches.
• 😀 The mindset and manifestation niche is a goldmine for copywriters due to its high profit margins and consistent demand for persuasive copy.

Q & A

What is the primary factor that differentiates earning $11,000 and $110,000 per month as a copywriter?

The primary difference isn't just copywriting skill, but more about who you're selling to. The right niche and market can make a huge impact on your earnings.

Why are e-commerce niches not ideal for copywriters?

E-commerce businesses usually have small profit margins, and customers tend to buy based on product images, reviews, and not the copy itself. Therefore, it's tough to make significant income from these clients.

What’s the main issue with working with overly corporate businesses?

Overly corporate businesses typically expect full-time employees, require formal education, and demand in-house marketing, making it difficult for freelancers to work with them.

Why should freelance copywriters avoid working with SaaS (Software as a Service) businesses?

SaaS businesses tend to hire in-house marketers to handle their copywriting needs, and many SaaS businesses don’t rely heavily on copy to drive purchases, making it difficult for freelancers to break into this niche.

What’s the problem with working with startups as a copywriter?

Startups often lack proven offers, which means there is no data to back up successful marketing strategies. Without proven data and angles, the copy is riskier, which results in a higher chance of failure for both the client and the copywriter.

Why are local businesses considered a poor niche for copywriters?

Local businesses tend to rely on foot traffic and local marketing methods like flyers and billboards, which means they don't value online copywriting as much as other businesses.

Is it a good idea to stick to just one niche as a copywriter?

While it's good to start focused, you don’t need to stick to just one niche forever. Eventually, you may run out of qualified prospects in that niche, and you can diversify to other niches once you’ve exhausted your initial options.

What is the risk of targeting an oversaturated niche as a copywriter?

There is no such thing as an oversaturated niche because competition doesn't mean a lack of opportunity. Being the best in your field allows you to stand out, even in highly competitive markets.

Should you only target niches you're passionate about as a copywriter?

No, passion isn’t the most important factor. It's more effective to target businesses that are profitable and have a constant need for copywriting, regardless of whether you’re personally passionate about the niche.

What are some of the most lucrative niches for copywriters in 2025?

Some of the top niches for copywriters in 2025 include real estate coaching, B2B coaching and consulting, B2B done-for-you agencies, business opportunity (Biz Op), and the mindset and manifestation niche, all of which have high profit margins and continuous demand for good copy.
