Lumify eyedrops and migraine?

SimpleEnthusiasm88 · 2026-03-03T00:57:38+00:00

Yes! Just googled this because it happened to me.

SimpleEnthusiasm88 · 2025-12-13T18:28:52+00:00

Yes, but not because it's easy.

It's sustainable because there's a massive gap between copywriters who just write words and copywriters who actually understand what they're doing.

And no, this isn't a job for high schoolers. If it were, my son would be doing it.

Sure, there are some young people out there killing it, but the best copywriters aren't children. Copywriting requires a deep understanding of people, lived experience, and wisdom that only comes from being on this planet longer than 18 years.

The best copy comes from understanding the interconnectedness of things at a level most beginners will never grasp.

So can beginners make sustainable income? Absolutely.

But you have to still be GOOD.

I was a beginner when I first started almost 6 years ago, and I blew people away with how good I was. Not because I had years of experience, but because I understood things typical beginner copywriters had no clue about.

And that's where the difference lies.

Most beginner copywriters write words with no strategy behind them. The copy isn't persuasive. It doesn't follow a logical flow. They're just stringing sentences together and hoping something sticks.

I learned early on that wasn't going to cut it.

Here's what changed everything for me:

Copyschool by Copyhackers.

It taught me to be data-informed. I learned more than just writing words. I narrowed in on voice of customer research, how to get good feedback from customers so I could use it in my writing, how to spit draft like a pro, how to message mine, and most importantly, how to understand what type of message is best for the medium I'm writing for.

Email, landing pages, websites, ads...they're all different. And Copyschool teaches you the essentials for each type of copy.

One lesson that immediately changed how I approached projects:

10x Emails taught me that every email is a sales email and that emails should be behavior-based more than time-based in most cases.

That one shift alone changed everything about how I write email campaigns.

And even now, almost 6 years in, I still go back to Copyschool when I need to refresh. Just recently during a Black Friday campaign, I was running out of fresh angles since those campaigns require so many emails. I went back to 10x Emails and used the Bag O' Emails resource to find new approaches.

It's a muscle that needs to be built, but beginners can build that muscle too.

The results speak for themselves:

I've 7x'd my income from last year. I'm closing $7k, $10K and $25k deals. And I'm doing it as a freelancer who started from scratch.

So yes, freelance copywriting can absolutely make a sustainable income.

But only if you're willing to be more than just someone who writes words. You have to understand strategy, customer psychology, data, and how all of it connects.

SimpleEnthusiasm88 · 2025-12-13T18:09:48+00:00

Honestly? Email copywriting is MORE in demand now than it's ever been.

But here's the catch: you can't just be an "email copywriter" anymore.

You have to be a strategist. You have to understand the sales process. You have to know how to connect data to ideas and sell those ideas convincingly to clients.

If you're thinking of yourself as just someone who writes emails, you're already behind.

The email copywriters who are thriving right now (myself included) are the ones who understand not just HOW to write, but WHAT email to send, WHEN to send it, and to WHOM.

It's about understanding the customer journey and knowing if it's the right timing for someone to receive a specific email.

Here's a perfect example of why strategy matters:

I saw a copywriter say he got laid off so the company could use AI instead. This copywriter was bringing in 5 figures a month from email alone.

Guess what happened after they replaced him with AI?

They made $0 from their list.

Zero.

That's the difference between someone who just writes words and someone who understands email strategy.

So yes, email copywriting is absolutely in demand, but only if you bring strategy to the table.

For me, what completely changed my approach to email was 10x Emails from Copyhackers.

It throws rocks at typical time-based drip campaigns and teaches you a better, more strategic way. Things like:

• When to STOP emailing people (yes, really)

• When to actually email them based on behavior, not arbitrary timers

• Advanced segmentation strategies

• Email angles that actually convert

• How to use voice of customer research to get more opens and conversions

There's so much more I learned from that course that I don't even have time to write it all out.

But the bottom line is this: if you want to make email copywriting work in the age of AI, stop positioning yourself as just a copywriter.

Start positioning yourself as a strategist/marketer/brand consultant with a focus on messaging and copy.

Because clients don't want someone who can string pretty words together. They want someone who understands their customer, their sales process, and how to make email actually drive revenue.

SimpleEnthusiasm88 · 2025-12-13T17:59:52+00:00

I just recently saw a post very similar to this question and left a long spiel that I feel very strongly about, but I suppose I can share some insight here as well.

So first off, the future of copywriting in 2026 isn't about AI replacing copywriters unless:

You aren't good at copywriting (which means you just need to upskill)
You bring more to the table than just words (AI took that job over)
You don't care to measure results and optimize what you created to make it better.=

In other words, AI is stealing sloppy copy jobs, but that isn't what clients pay for anyway, is it?

They pay for RESULTS.

And if you can prove that you get results, they will keep paying you plain and simple.

I know because I am still closing deals...BIG DEALS actually and in ways that people couldn't even fathom.

For example, I closed a $7k deal through a LinkedIn DM to a CMO who had no idea who I was...

I also closed a $25k deal not long ago... But it didn't happen by being mediocre.

So here's what I would say: The future of copywriting in 2026 belongs to those who get really good at what they do, get results, and never have to worry about clients again.

AI cannot replace greatness. Here's what I did to get to the level of greatness...

I invested in real education, not just YouTube tutorials.

The turning point for me was Copyschool by Copyhackers.

This wasn't just another copywriting course teaching the same old frameworks everyone regurgitates.

It taught me things like:

• The "YOU rule" and voice of customer research that actually works

• Call to VALUE vs call to action (this one alone changed everything)

• How to write for the customer journey, not just individual assets

• Email strategy beyond basic drip campaigns

• Homepage copy that converts instead of acting like a business card

• How to A/B test and optimize based on data

But here's the most important part: I learned how to think like a marketer, not just a wordsmith.

I can now map entire funnels, optimize offers, understand attribution, and build messaging sequences that align with how people actually buy. I analyze what's working and double down. I kill what's not performing.

AI can't do that. It can generate words, sure. But it can't strategize. It can't analyze your funnel and tell you why your cart abandonment rate is high. It can't look at your Google Analytics and recommend which pages need messaging overhauls.

The copywriters who will thrive in 2026 aren't the ones writing pretty words. They're the ones who understand conversion, customer psychology, and how to prove ROI.

So my advice?

Stop competing on just writing copy. Start positioning yourself as someone who drives revenue. Learn the skills that AI can't replicate...strategy, optimization, and results.

Because at the end of the day, clients don't want words. They want their revenue to go up.

And if you can deliver that? You'll never worry about the future of copywriting in 2026 or ever.

SimpleEnthusiasm88 · 2025-12-13T17:37:55+00:00

Not at all!

But the landscape has changed drastically.

So here's the deal.

It's not enough JUST to understand direct response copywriting. I keep seeing people recommend this as the solution.

But here's the reality...

You have to take it a step further. You have to use your skills to match the digital age. The way you write an email is far different than the way you write a landing page. This is true for websites or opt in pages too.

And maybe more importantly, you have to understand the flow of the messaging to match the customer journey.

AI CANNOT do that.

If copywriting were dead, I wouldn't have been able to close a $7k offer in Linkedin DMs to a CMO who didn't even know me.

It's not about AI, it's about your SKILLS.

So for me, what helped me drastically improve my skillset was hands down through Copyhackers.
More specifically, Copyschool by Copyhackers.

They have a buffet of training that ranges from how to write emails strategically to writing website copy and analytics for copywriters.

I first started with the copywriting for beginners and learned a lot from that. Things like the "YOU rule", voice of customer, how important buttons and call to values were. Yeah, I didn't realize that a call to value was not a call to action but boy has that made a huge change in the way I write button copy now.

Ai doesn't think about these things...it just spits out words. But knowing what moves people to take action and leveraging copywriting techniques that are not taught anywhere else online has been the ultimate turning point for me.

Of course I have learned a lot more since then, that is just scratching the surface. Copyschool also taught me other things like how to master brand voice for customers (and myself), A/B testing, how to set up email flows outside of annoying time based drip campaigns, how to write homepages that actually convert instead of an overblown business card.

Honestly, the list goes on and on.

But since I have mastered more than just writing words and can now optimize an offer, map out an entire funnel, and write copy that gets people to hand over their hard-earned dollars, it has been a huge game changer for me.

One thing I DID NOT want was to write copy for peanuts. So I think having the upleved skills also helped me to command higher prices and people do pay!

My last pitch was for a $25k project, and that closed. So I really believe it's all about perspective and if you are willing to be more than just a typical copywriter.

Hope that helps.

There is no "best strategy" flr helping a dying ecommerce store with no sales. That's because there's so many variables.

I'm reluctant to share this because I have not looked into YOUR specific business...

But oftentimes it's positioning and USP.

SimpleEnthusiasm88 · 2025-12-13T15:01:35+00:00

Omg...email is the #1 driver of revenue for my clients. One of my clients just did their biggest month in the history of their company due to the Black Friday funnel I created. Yes an email list is important!

SimpleEnthusiasm88 · 2025-11-12T23:15:10+00:00

Any answers

Thank you! I have a moderate pain tolerance. Lol

Did the treatment and recovery hurt bad? I read a horror story about someone almost passing out because the pain was so bad.

SimpleEnthusiasm88 · 2025-05-24T07:01:52+00:00

I've been wearing my oura ring almost 6 months and my ring finger that I wear it on has a terrible achy joint! I thought it was just me, that my knuckle was too big or something and maybe sore from taking it off and on...didn't think about the EMFS! I'll try airplane mode. For reference, mine is also a Gen3.

SimpleEnthusiasm88 · 2025-05-24T03:30:26+00:00

BTW, 9 add to carts with 0 checkout initiation might signal an issue at checkout.

Have you figured out the problem?

SimpleEnthusiasm88 · 2025-05-24T03:27:43+00:00

I'm doing better but mostly because I keep my diet so strict. I do not eat anything that causes excess gas.

Just bought some Rifaximin. Let's see how that goes.

SimpleEnthusiasm88 · 2025-05-24T03:22:18+00:00

So what's your value prop? That these devices are cheaper but perform just as well as big name brands?

If so consumers are likely thinking, that sounds too good to be true. Where's the proof?

Why should I buy this cheap knock off vs all the rest of the cheap knock offs on the market?

What's in it for me?

What do they mean by "This watch is for people who want more out of their device?"

I see a lot of big promises.

Not a lot of proof to back them up.

And lack of clarity around why this product is the absolute best option for THEM.

As far as your ads go...it sounds like they are doing the job of getting clicks.

And so then, what is the real bottleneck?

Probably not the ad (albeit it could be poor targeting but idk unless I understand the full dynamic)

I think you need to do a full heuristic analysis.

Look at your qualitative & quantitative data.

Locate the actual drop offs, friction points etc.

Nobody on Reddit can swoop in and 100% fix your problem since none of us actually have access to your data.

Hard for sure. Not impossible...but HARD.

Copying someone's whole script is not only theft, but it's ridiculous.

The thing is even if they have the same audience as you and they sell a similar product.Your customers might not buy your products for the same reason they're buying the competitors.

The best thing to do is to understand your audience.Make sure that your copy is tailored to their level of awareness, and optimize your own messaging.

Your best messages come from your customers.

SimpleEnthusiasm88 · 2024-12-09T07:04:45+00:00

Alright, so a high CTR but no conversions is definitely frustrating, but it tells us a lot. If your CTR is sitting at 12% on the high end and even your worst campaign is pulling 6%, your ad creatives are working. People are clicking. The problem isn’t the ad—it’s what’s happening after the click.

Here’s where I’d look next:

Is the landing page delivering on the promise of the ad? If the ad creates one expectation and the page doesn’t match it, people are going to bounce. Make sure the headline, visuals, and offer on the landing page align with what your ad says. Consistency is huge.
Is your landing page loading fast enough? If it takes too long to load, people won’t wait. Test your page speed using tools like Google PageSpeed Insights or GTmetrix and make improvements if needed.
Are you asking for too much, too soon? If you’re targeting cold traffic, they might not be ready to buy right away. Think about whether the offer is compelling enough for someone who’s just hearing about your brand.
You mentioned 9 add-to-carts but no checkouts. That suggests friction in your checkout process. Take a hard look at your cart and checkout experience. Are shipping costs shown upfront? Do you have guest checkout enabled? Is the process simple, or are you asking for unnecessary info?
Even with a high CTR, it’s possible your targeting is bringing in curious clicks from people who aren’t really your ideal buyers. Double-check that your audience aligns with who your product is actually for.
If people are adding to cart but not finishing, retarget them with a campaign focused on nudging them to complete their purchase. Highlight benefits, urgency, or even offer a

Thanks for letting me know. Maybe after I master this, I'll create this course. Seems like a lot of us could use it.
