Maybe it's sort of a broad question, but how do you make the most money possible as a copywriter? Are there any paths that are known to be more lucrative? I'm not trying to become a millionaire or anything, just make a comfortable living

As far as I’m concerned there are two main routes people take: 1. You move every couple of years to a new job getting a big pay bump each time. 2. You find yourself at good places making good work, stay 3,4,5 years and settle for being underpaid knowing you’ll make up for it as a GCD/ECD down the line.

This is probably pretty close, with a combination of the two being key. At some point you need to settle somewhere and show you can consistently elevate a brand for an extended period. Otherwise it will make the hopping much more challenging in the long run.

Pharma. If you can deal with it.

Will, you can become millionaire with simple smart investing and just some patience. Look up “I will teach you how to be rich” by ramit Sethi. But, asking for raises is one way and possibly building following and then monetizing by selling a course or books. Look at Dan Nelken and Ashely Russntein. They are copywriters and have created additional side income by providing value!

It’s up to you and the Universe. Give 200%, listen, learn and grow. Try new things. Lie about how much you making on your next interview. Not by too much, of course. Find a great partner. And be in the right place at the right time which is out of your control.

Use some of the copywriting earnings to invest in stocks and bitcoin.

Simplest way is to be good enough to get consistent freelance work. I know multiple creatives who pull in $300k + as freelancers.

Any thoughts on the best certifications to get in order to help move forward? I have considered the CCP from World at Work, but it’s fairly pricey to get by the time you wrap up everything. I was looking at both SHRM-CP and SPHR. Everyone that I have spoken to has the SHRM, but that’s also only looking at individuals in a small geographic footprint and within 3-4 different companies. I was hoping to get some thoughts on this from others? Thanks
