From Full-Time, Faith-Based Nonprofit Work to Part-Time Copywriting: Kate's Story (Episode 36)

From Full-Time, Faith-Based Nonprofit Work to Part-Time Copywriting: Kate's Story (Episode 36)

When Kate Kosydar first discovered copywriting, she had been working full time in the faith-based nonprofit world for more than a decade and was ready for a change. She talks about why she continued to pursue copywriting, even after taking another copywriting course she didn't find valuable, and how she realized her original definition of copywriting (being "salesy" or selling out her values) was not at all what it actually ended up being for her copywriting career.

You can make a difference as a copywriter working with businesses you believe in and honoring your values. Spoiler: she has nearly doubled her former full-time salary—working part time, and she and her husband have managed to pay off their student loans. Kate also touches on living in a more rural area and the benefits of being able to work remote with her clients.

Note: We mention "Pitchapalooza" on this episode, which is an annual four-week event for Comprehensive Copywriting Academy students that gets everyone writing and sending their first pitches.
