Comprehensive Copywriting Academy Review

I can say diving into Comprehensive Copywriting Academy was one of the best decisions I’ve made.

More than just sharpening my skills in copywriting, it guided me towards a profession I am utterly passionate about.

The course inspired me to embrace copywriting as a calling, propelling me to launch my freelance writing business.

It was the confidence boost I needed to venture into entrepreneurship.

I finally understood the correlation between the target audience and my creative writing skills, which has helped me tailor my approach for every client/brand I have worked with since then.

What started as a tentative step into the world of copywriting has blossomed into a thriving venture, with my income doubling within the first year.

This financial success directly reflects the enhanced quality and effectiveness of my writing, skills I meticulously developed through the academy’s teachings.

Now, I’m doing work I love, snagging projects left and right, and honestly, I feel like I’m just getting started.

I believe I earned more than 10k so far because of this course.

I am very satisfied and would recommend it to anyone.

When I purchased this course, I had initially been comparing it to another, more expensive one. Both coaches seemed to know what they were talking about. However, Nicki clearly had much more experience. I was worried she may be out of touch with current trends, but I was wrong!

Her teaching and advice are reliable, and the techniques are proven. She could easily charge 3 times the amount for her course. It would still be a huge bargain.

This course is called “comprehensive” for a reason. Two years later, I still haven’t watched all the videos in the bonuses. But I have a skillset I didn’t have before and the ability to make money on my terms.

When things come up that I’m unfamiliar with, there’s a training video I can reference. If not, I can ask questions on the twice-monthly coaching calls, post them in the FB group, or speak directly to a coach for guidance. It’s everything I could ask for in a course and more.

I started the CCA core course in 2020 during the pandemic and I haven’t looked back.

It was tough motivating myself at the start (particularly with a two-year-old in tow), but it was worth it. From the very first module to the last, this program has not only met but exceeded my expectations. You need to put the work in and there are plenty of exercises in the course that help with mindset.

The course and support network has taught me how to be a copywriter, boosted my confidence and allowed me to build a thriving business. It’s opened up a world and a life I wanted but never thought I could have. I still can’t believe I make money writing for big-name companies in the industries I love.

I liked the CCA core course so much I’ve now moved on to the CCA Next Level course which is supporting me in the next stage of my business.

If you’re serious about succeeding in copywriting, I wholeheartedly recommend this course. It’s worth every penny and more.

I thoroughly enjoyed the process of taking this course. The information presented is thorough and thoughtfully organized.

The Facebook group is incredibly supportive and helpful to me, even three years later with lots of professional experience under my belt. I keep coming back to the modules to refresh my memory on the skills I learned in this course.

I can honestly say that without the CCA my copywriting business wouldn’t exist. Nicki walks you through everything you need to know, from the nuts and bolts of setting up a business from zero to how to write great copy. Thanks to her guidance, I’m making six figures and can work from anywhere.

I’m so thankful I made the choice to join – it’s the best money I’ve ever spent.

The CCA course is easy to follow, packed with tons of actionable and useful information, and comes with a community of people supporting you.

The course is robust and is enough for you to pivot careers into copywriting, or enhance your current knowledge. Plus, there’s an entire business building aspect, so whether you want to work in-house, part-time, or freelance, you have all the information required to take meaningful action.

Before I took the CCA course, I was working 60+ hour weeks for 55k/year and burnt out before I was 30.

After taking the course and implementing what I learned, I’ve built my business to a 15k+/month, working around 30 hours weekly.

If you want to take control of your career, time, and finances – and have a passion for writing copy – then the CCA is for you.

Nicki Krawczyk and the Comprehensive Copywriting Academy gave me back my life. Zero hyperbole.

It’s not just about learning to write copy (which I had limited understanding of before CCA). It’s about learning to take charge of your career with confidence, embrace the discomfort inherent in learning and growth, and take strategic action, to create the career you need, to fuel the life you want. That’s all included.

I joined CCA in 2019, when I was unemployed due to a disabling chronic illness. My first full year as a copywriter was 2020. I worked freelance verrrry part-time, because of my health. And with my very limited work capacity, I only earned 8x my CCA investment that year.

Four years into freelance copywriting, I’m still sick. But after I realized I’d also been psychologically and financially abused at home for years (which causes physical brain damage!), I jettisoned the offender from my life. (I could do that, because I have a freelance copywriter’s income flexibility.)

Now I have more capacity to *use* what Nicki gave me, and literally tripled my income within a 3-month period. As I take time to heal, I’m hitting growth goals well ahead of schedule, including hitting my first $8k month *on accident.* Dead serious. I thought there was a duplicate transaction, but nope.

So to recap, my CCA training helped me re-enter the workforce on my terms, when I thought I might never be able to work again. Then it helped me build a business and a new professional identity, with a strong network, portfolio, and growth potential. Then it helped me make my abuser financially irrelevant, and start a new life for me and my kids outside his control.

That might make me a bit biased, but… is it worth the effort to stop looking for a whole business to be handed to you on a silver template, work through the CCA, and put it into practice for yourself?

Yeah. You’re damn right it is.

I joined the Comprehensive Copywriting Academy in May 2020 without any previous marketing experience. I went full-time freelance at the end of June 2020.

Over three years later, I’m travelling the world, working where and when I want. I’ve developed great relationships within the CCA. I continue to learn with Nicki with every bonus course that comes out (at no extra cost), as well as in the CCA Next Level mastermind.

The core training is solid and covers everything you need to get started. However, the key to learning is inside the Facebook group. The structure for giving and receiving feedback is what helps us to understand and develop our copywriting skills. After all, reviewing and editing copy is more than 50% of the job.

… and I attribute every penny to the amazing training and support I received inside the Comprehensive Copywriting Academy.

I have worked hard to put the course material into practice. I’ve leaned on CCA coaches and fellow students to help me overcome my roadblocks. Finally, I’ve been so much more successful – from a dollars perspective and quality of life view – than I ever thought possible!

The CCA taught me how to recognize good copy and how to write good copy. The course also taught me how to start and scale my freelance business. This training literally changed my life!

I went from not knowing what copywriting was to being a full-time freelance copywriter to getting hired at an agency. My work-life balance is finally where I wanted it to be — no alarm clock unless I schedule something early. I can walk my dogs, and it’s easy to pick my son up from school and read to him at night.

Will the course work for everyone? No. I had to actively take steps forward. It was challenging to learn a new skill and beat down my imposter syndrome and resistance (I’m still doing it).

But I didn’t even understand imposter syndrome/resistance before the course. I only recognize it now because I’ve read the posts from other copywriters or had them comment on my posts.

This training gave me the foundation of knowledge, and the Facebook group gave me the practice. I was giving feedback to other students and getting feedback from them. I found the confidence to say out loud, “I’m a copywriter” and never look back.

I want to be honest with this review – I am currently paid by Filthy Rich Writer as a Student Coach. Now that I’ve got that out of the way, the following is an honest review of my experience since joining the course.

I first discovered the Comprehensive Copywriting Academy and copywriting in general after I saw a Facebook ad about making money as a writer.

I never considered myself a writer. I also didn’t intend to leave my job in the airline industry (that I loved) anytime soon. Still, it was the summer of 2020, and it had been a rough year spent on COVID-induced furlough.

I saw the course as something to do to stay busy while not working. It was also a chance to learn new skills to make me more employable if the worst happened and I was made redundant.

I didn’t expect to find I had a talent that people were willing to pay generous money for me to put into practice.

I motored through the course and learned a ton of information (seriously, there’s a load of content updated regularly). I engaged frequently in the Facebook group, created a website, and collaborated with freelance designers to produce portfolio samples.

I landed my first clients in December 2020 (a friend from my running club, my sister, and a client who hired me after sending my pitch). I even managed to fund all my Christmas presents and make back the money spent on the course before the end of 2020. All this was way beyond my expectations.

2021 was another great year, but I had to balance returning to work full-time and building my business on the side. It was exhausting, and something had to give.

It was an easy decision. I handed my notice in for my job of 18 years in January 2022 and went full-time self-employed in April. I’m now making over 6 figures as a business owner.

People might read this and think I’ve drunk the Kool-Aid or that I’m getting paid by Nicki, so I must be writing this from a rose-tinted view, but it’s absolutely true.

When I joined the course, I was sitting at home wondering if I will have a job in 12 months. Now, I work with clients worldwide, and make great money (more than double my old salary) on my terms and schedule. Of course, it sounds like I’m gushing!

This isn’t a “follow these steps to riches.” Not everyone who joins will have the same success. However, it is a shortcut to setting up a business and a crash course on how to write copy. It’s up to you to put that into action, get the clients, and get the results.

If you can’t write, this course isn’t for you. If you think you might have a talent, are unsure about it but also excited to find out, there’s one thing to do.
