How do you respond when Grandpa Stan asks, "Can you even make money as a writer?" (#3 of 5) (Episode 205)

There are certain questions you're going to get asked as a copywriter, around the holidays or otherwise. Make sure you're prepared with your responses to 5 of the most common questions friends and family are sure to ask!

In episode 3 of this 5-part series, we're navigating the well-meaning, but often inappropriately asked, "how much are ya even making?!" question.

Because so many other writing professions *don't* pay well, our friends and family are often worried that pursuing copywriting will put us in a similar position: struggling to pay the bills. But as you likely know, copywriters don't fall into this bucket.

Here's how to answer this question, whether you're comfortable telling your grandfather exactly what you're making, or you simply want to correct this bit of misinformation so many people have been taught to believe.
