Copy That!
Copy That! is a show dedicated to the craft of copywriting in all of its forms hosted by five copywriters and marketers named Alex, Rod, Lindsey, and Sean. In every episode, we talk copy, share resources, and provide an over-the-shoulder look at what we do to write copy that sells. The hardest part of every copywriter’s career is the journey from learning copywriting theory to actually practicing it in the real world — getting clients, keeping them happy, improving your skillset as you work, and more. We make this show because we want to help people along their journeys and give them the tools they need to survive and thrive as a working copywriter.

Sean recently sat down with Aaron Gentzler - CMO of Mauldin Economics and with 20 years of experience in the financial publishing niche - to talk shop.

Alex sat down with the one and only Glenn Fisher from @TheFixCopywriting (who btw worked as a Copy Chief at Agora and has written for companies like Pinterest and Huel) to talk all things copywriting and marketing.
Making high 6 or even 7 figures as a copywriter is the exception, not the norm. But exceptions *do* exist. And in this video Sean sits down with one. This 7 figure copywriter began his journey at 17 with no formal education, no courses, and no money. 5 years later, he's made over $1 million for himself. If you want to follow anyone's path, follow his. It's a story of hard work, cleverness, and finding sparks of creativity.
Sean sat down with Kyle Milligan (of Copy Squad/"Take Their Money" fame) with the intent of talking about some of our favorite topics like:
- AI copywriting - Common copywriting mistakes - The biggest problems new copywriters run into - The state of copywriting YouTube
...but of course they ended up talking about everything under the sun.
So sit back, relax, and get ready for a wild ride as they talk about fun subjects like:

In this episode of Copy That! we answer two of our favorite “It Depends” questions: “How much do copywriters really earn?” and “How much can a new copywriter expect to make when starting out?”
Like most “It Depends” questions… it’s complicated.
That’s why we decided to double the length of this month’s episode and get into all the details that go into how copywriters make money writing copy. Details like:
- The real impact of bei...
“How do professional copywriters do research?”
“What do I even research for my copy?”
