When men talk about their revenue, they’re “transparent” and “successful,” but when women do it, suddenly it’s girl boss? Bullshit. Talking about money isn’t #bossbabe! It’s just being confident about the business you built.

There are a million different ways to make money in your business, and it’s not girl boss to talk about your success. If someone thinks you’re annoying for confidently discussing your income, they’re not cooler than you—they’re just not satisfied with their own life. Nobody cooler than you ever made fun of you. Remember that!

So today, I’m coming in HOT with the exact breakdown of all my streams of income and how I make about $400,000 a year in my business.

And if you want to listen instead, I have a whole podcast episode about it:

1. Copywriting Services

My copywriting services make up 50% of my income, but I rarely talk about them. I’ve branded myself as Website Girl, so it’s pretty fucking obvious what I do. I don’t have to talk about those services as much as my other streams of income because my entire brand revolves around website copywriting.

But ICYMI, my main copywriting services are:

• Website copywriting (duh)
• Sales page copywriting
• Sales email copywriting
• Copy Audit

2. Programs

These are my main mentoring programs, where I teach copywriters and other business owners to improve their copywriting skills and grow their businesses. I develop these programs to what each cohort wants to learn, so no two are the same. I love spending time with my mentees and helping them become more confident in managing their business and clients.

Check out the programs:

• Success Story
• Write Your Site

3. Courses

Site Series Sprint is the most comprehensive website copywriting course on the internet (I said what I said.) My courses are no joke—I give you literally everything you could ever need to know in these courses. They are the ultimate DIY resource, so if you want to learn about copywriting, enroll in my courses:

• Site Series Sprint
• The Email Chapter
• The Prologue: Copywriting Basics
• Main Character Moment

4. Workshops

Teaching one- or two-day workshops is one of my favorite streams of income. I treat it like a normal offer launch, get people to sign up for the paid offer, and then record the training and sell it to anyone who may have missed the live training.

So if you missed any of these live trainings, catch the recordings and all the resources included with each one!

• SEO x Copy
• I’m Cool But My About Page Isn’t
• Newsletter Strategy
• Newsletter Storytelling
• Won’t Sell Itself
• Pinterest + Blogging
• You’re Not Annoying
• 30 Day Sales Challenge

5. Templates

Templates are a super easy stream of income. I developed all these templates myself to help my own business, and figured I’d sell them to help yours, too! 

• The Wicked Easy Web Copy Guide
• The Newsletter Planner
• Sales Page
• Client Project Tracker
• Copywriting Questionnaire

What are some things you already have and use that you could templatize and sell?

6. Strategy Calls

You know ya girl loves to yap, and what’s better than being paid to do it?! I offer 60-minute strategy calls to chat about literally anything you want. From marketing and copywriting to developing or launching a new offer, we get shit done in these calls.

• 1:1 Newsletter Call
• 1:1 Strategy Call

7. Subscriptions

I’m slowly dipping my toes into subscriptions, but have been loving this as a stream of income. I create a monthly resource, and anyone who’s subscribed gets access to it. 

Here are my subscriptions:

• Swipe File
• Millionaire Moment

My OBM Claire reviewed the offer and content for me and nearly fainted when she saw the price of Swipe File with all the value I give. They don’t call me the Queen of Overdelivering for nothin’!

8. Newsletter Sponsorships

My newsletter sponsorships popped the fuck off so accidentally. I didn’t realize how many people were interested in newsletter sponsorships, but duh, it makes so much sense. It’s the best way to orbit jump (aka borrowing someone else’s audience.) 

If you’d like to sponsor the TOC and feature your brand, offer, podcast, or ad to over 6,000+ readers, email me and let’s make it happen!

I also have podcast sponsorships, so I can promote your stuff on the pod, too! The price depends on the length of the ad, where it’s placed in the episode, and the ad type. Again, you can email me to inquire about getting an ad on my podcast!

9. Affiliate Income

I have lots of affiliates that I promote primarily because I love their products or services, but also because who doesn’t love a surprise payment? My affiliates are all over my blog and podcast, but here are a few of my favorites:

• Tonic Site Shop
• Flodesk
• Dubsado
• Showit

It’s Time to Try Something New

Beyond your main services, what are some other ways you can make money? I hope you got some inspiration from this post. 

And before you click away, let me give you a little encouragement.

I had no clue what I was doing when I hosted my first workshop.

I’m obviously very confident in copywriting, but teaching was brand new to me when I started outlining Site Series.

I had a free newsletter for 206 weeks before feeling like I was “ready” to create another one that’s paid. I wish I had started sooner.

You don’t need experience to start. You just need to try.

Try something new.

Try something scary.

Try something different.

It might fail (I’ve had lots of offers flop), but it might be a huge success and bring in another stream of income for your business.

If you’re a copywriter, I have literally everything you need to run a successful copywriting business. Explore the resources in this blog and sign up for my weekly newsletter for even more tips to grow your income.
