Laura

Belgray

The $1M One-person Business

You might know Laura Belgray as one of the masterminds behind The Copy Cure – her signature program with Marie Forleo. Maybe you’re subscribed to her famous Talking Shrimp newsletter. Or maybe you’ve just heard her name floating about, often in response to questions like “Who’s your favorite copywriter?”

However, these days, Laura doesn’t call herself a copywriter – because she doesn’t offer her copywriting services anymore. In fact, she gave up $1450/hr client work so she could use her copy skills to create revenue for herself. 

Today, she runs a $1M one-person business. And to top it all off, she recently broke into the Amazon best-seller club after publishing her book Tough Titties, in which she frequently talks about how lazy she is. Who’d have thought it?

*Laura clarifies, she’s only technically a one-person business. While she’s never had anyone on payroll, she works with a business manager, Sandra Booker – who, along with her own team at Any Old Task, has been critical to Laura’s success.

Laura’s six-figure advice for you: Be visible

The same advice that got you to $5K/month will help get you to and beyond six figures:

Be visible.

Write for other publications. Speak on stages. Make guest appearances on podcasts. If people see you as an authority, they’ll want to pay whatever you charge. It’s such an effective way to make more money.

Oh, and write for yourself. A lot of copywriters don’t think to do that. If you want to hit the high six figures, you likely won’t get there by just doing client work. To quote Laura, it’s a multislice pie.
