I was 14, broke, and didn't want to be anymore.Just out of curiosity, how did you get your start?
I had read enough of my mom's copywriting books/courses to think I was an expert, so I snagged my first job writing a sales letter for a friend of hers, who had written an ebook. I overheard him talking about it with my mom one day, and when he said he was looking for a copywriter, I jumped into the conversation and told him I could do it and that he wouldn't even have to pay me until he started pulling sales.
He gave me a shot, and I made my first $100 three weeks later.
