I made $1095 in 4 hours with AI
Back in 2019…
I was a newbie copywriter.
On February 17, I made $15 from my first-ever client.
It was for a “future of trades in Canada” blog post.
Not exactly riveting stuff, but I was stoked to get client #1..
I landed the guy on Fiverr (just 1.5 months after beginning my copywriting journey).
And I looked at the brief, wrote the draft, and handed it in.
“Five stars” and a testimonial later, and my $10k/month journey had begun.
Guess how long it took me to make that $15?
4 hours.
About 3 hours of writing and 1 hour of editing.
That’s an effective rate of $15 / 4 hours….
= $3.75 an hour.
Less than minimum wage.
Fast-forward to July 2019.
I was making $100 blog post.
$100 / 4 hours…
=$25/hour.
Finally! I beat minimum wage.
Fast-forward once again to 2024.
Making about $400/blog post.
$400 / 4 hours…
=$100/hour.
Nice. Making some solid spending money by lunch time.
Now, we arrive at the present date:
October, 2025.
Except something’s different.
AI is here.
Guess what happened?
A) My client fired me and said “we’ll just let AI do it” and now I’m homeless
B) AI eliminated all copywriters
C) ) AI turned into the terminator / iRobot and actually eliminated copywriters (and everyone else for that matter)
D) AI helped me make $1,095 in 4 hours
If you picked A, B, or C, then I am sad.
But, I am sad and wealthy…
Because the correct answer is D.
This past week, I wrote two longer form blog posts for one of my copywriting clients in the marketing software space.
When I first started, it would have taken me 4 hours to write a single post for $15.
Last year, in 2024, it would have taken me 4 hours to write a single post for $400
Last week, it took me 4 hours to write two posts… and I made $1,095.
$1,095 / 4…
= $273.75/hour
Now we’re talking.
Before lunch time, I made enough money with copywriting to book a roundtrip flight to Rome.
How is this possible?
AI.
You see, while most beginners are living in fear of AI wiping them out (before they even start)…
The smartest copywriters I know aren’t worried about AI, competition, or saturation.
Instead, they’re embracing AI as a tool to leverage their copy skills and earn even more money.
Most people think AI will replace them. And there are two reasons:
1) They don’t understand copywriting
2) They don’t understand AI
The ironic thing is, the more time you spend learning BOTH of these skills, the more aware you are that this isn’t something to fear…
But is in fact, the greatest opportunity we’ve seen since the dawn of the internet 25 years ago.
I effectively doubled my “dollars per hour” in a single year…
Without necessarily becoming a “better” copywriter.
I just leveraged the copywriting skills I already have.
And then applied the power of AI.
And boom.
I went from earning $400 in 4 hours (which is nothing to blink at)…
To earning $1,095 in 4 hours.
That’s a 2.75x raise thanks to AI.
How did I do this?
What are the secrets?
How exactly use AI to do it?
That’ll all be revealed inside my brand new school:
Six-Figure Copy Academy
On November 3, I’m launching an online academy for 100 copywriters to hit their first $10k month.
When you join the Academy, you’ll get:
My entire Six-Figure Copywriter Course (the entire system that got me to $9k/month in one year and $10-15k months since)
To connect with a community of serious copywriters like you (many of whom are already making $2,000-$5,000/month)
A copy job board with brand new opportunities added DAILY (I’ll bring clients right to you)
Weekly coaching calls with me to get all of your questions answered (and even live copy and outreach breakdowns)
Copywriting feedback to ensure you’re not guessing whether you can write well or not (I’ll tell you if you’re ready to land clients and how to improve your copy)
Client-getting challenges (including a leaderboard to compete and cash prizes for top 3 placements)
And a whole lot more.
Not to mention…
You’ll learn how to leverage AI the right way in 2025, 2026, and beyond…
To help you futureproof yourself as a copywriter, get more done in less time, and double your earning potential (like I did).
WARNING: There is a wrong way to use AI as a copywriter. If you screw this up, you will dramatically hinder your ability to crack even $5,000/month as a copywriter.
In the Six-Figure Copy Academy, you’ll learn the right way to use AI from day one to help you research faster, write better, edit your copy, get GOOD feedback to improve your copy performance, and make more money in less time.
Want to make sure you don’t miss the AI copywriting gold rush?

The Academy will be capped at just 100 members.
The reason is to ensure it’s a tightknit group of only the most dedicated copywriters that gets my undivided attention and support on the journey to $10k/month.
And, there are already 93 people on the waitlist.
So, if you want a shot at one of the 100 Academy spots, make sure you get on the waitlist now so you’re ready for the launch at 12 pm EST on November 3.
