Everyone wants to be a copywriter.

However, I’m not entirely sure everyone knows what copywriting is before they embark on that journey. Do I think copywriting is a great career? Yes. Do I think there are myths people believe about copywriting? Also yes.

If you’re thinking of becoming a copywriter, do it! I also think you should learn the four myths that come with it.

You’ll have a realistic idea of what to expect.

Here are the four myths of copywriting.

1. You’ll make 6-Figures immediately as a copywriter

This is definitely not true.

Most newbie copywriters fall flat on their faces, learn to talk to clients, and get excited when they land a gig.

I didn’t make six figures as a freelance copywriter until my 3rd year.

Don’t get me wrong, you can definitely make six figures as a freelance copywriter. It will just be hard in the first six months to a year.

2. Copywriting can sell anything
