“The best business investment
I made.”
The Profitable Freelancer is a career-transforming business incubator. It teaches you every *single* thing you need to run a successful business. It kickstarted my business; I went from treading the muddy freelancing waters to having clarity and confidence in what I was doing. It was the best business investment I’ve made.

“Today, 85% of my leads are from connections I've made in the course.”
I was nervous about signing up because it was an intensely busy time for me and my family. Even though I wasn’t able to devote as much time to the course as I would have liked, I gained tremendously. The course was a goldmine.
I came in with a freelancer mindset; today I have the mindset of a business owner. Michal taught me to set goals, work with bigger clients, and develop a process that makes my business much smoother. And as my skills and experience increase, I also gained the confidence to regularly raise my rates.
I was active on LinkedIn before — but now, I'm reaching my income goal even without LinkedIn.
Today, 85% of my leads are from connections & collaborations I've made in the course.

“Empowered me to take ownership of my business”
There IS opportunity out there. There IS a way to leverage skills, grit, and determination and transform them into a business. The Profitable Freelancer taught me how to set up my business from the ground up, empowering me with the tools to take ownership of my business. And now I recommend it to every freelancer I know. Because seriously, the hassle and headache of business management can run so many creatives into the ground before they even get a chance to get out there and show the world what they got.
If you're on the fence about this course, come on down! Because running a business is no longer something to be afraid of.
(Well, just a little bit.)
Yitzi Smith,
Email & Web Copywriter
As a newcomer to freelancing, I wanted to understand more about how to build a copywriting business.
Now, after CopyTribe and Profitable Freelancer, I feel prepared and confident to do exactly that.
I was surprised at just how much input we received from coaches and Slack moderators. The clarity of the modules is excellent, with continual review of concepts — plus examples — so you don’t feel overwhelmed. It’s easy to see how much effort Michal puts into each class.
“It prepared me with everything
I would need”
Should it be this hard to:
Find clients?
At work, the grocery, the playground — everybody’s interested, but when push-comes-to-proposal, nobody wants to sign on that dotted line. You tried a few ads, sent a few cold pitches, but the leads just trickle in...and a pitiful few turn into actual, paying clients.
Manage clients?
Missed meetings. Constant ghosting. Unreasonable demands (2AM emails expecting your updates by morning?). It’s in their best interest to answer your questions and give you feedback. So why does managing clients feel like pulling
teeth?
Make real money?
You’re working All. The. Time. but your income still looks like a side gig. Clients try to bargain you down, offer you “perks” (No thanks, “exposure” doesn’t pay the bills) or worse — agree to a price, then go AWOL after you send the bill. You’re a business, not a charity...right?
NOPE.
IT SHOULD NOT BE THIS HARD
TO RUN A BUSINESS.
❌ Do you have to feel “hectic” — constantly?
❌ Do you have to second-guess your responses — constantly?
❌ Do you have to deal with aggravation — constantly?
(while not even making enough for the headache to be worthwhile????)
NO, NO, NO.
In fact, when you structure your business right, with the right —
✅ Pricing
✅ Positioning
✅ Processes
✅ Marketing systems
You’ll find that running a business can be deeply enjoyable and satisfying.
But here’s the thing: you were never taught how.
Sure, you got intense training on the technical skills.
You are really good at what you do. 💥
But in all your courses and webinars and lectures and worksheets —
did anybody ever teach you how to…
Negotiate with a prospect confidently — without feeling insecure (or giving in to Imposter Syndrome)?
Identify the “uh-oh” clients — and spot red flags *before* saying yes?
Attract the “good” clients — the ones you’ll genuinely enjoy working with?
Decline a nightmarish prospect — even if they’re ready to pay?
Manage a non-responsive client — or preempt that scenario to begin with?
Respond to the scope-creeper client — the one who always wants “just one more thing”?
Price your work for its market value and skill level — and regularly raise rates?
Create solid processes that show professionalism — and keep projects running smoothly?
Operate as a premium provider — not a cute freelancer working out of their basement?
Market yourself to steadily attract quality clients who’ll pay your rates — on time, and with pleasure?

“I learned to set business goals, brand myself,
and win clients”
I’m building my business and getting a LOT of referrals through The Profitable Freelancer — that alone made the investment worth it!
When I signed up, I wasn't even sure I wanted to run my own graphic design business. I had nothing to lose by trying it out — and I'm so glad I did. Michal's clear teaching outlined what I needed to do. And Slack was amazing! I loved that I could get answers and advice pretty much at all hours of the day.

Hiiiiiii!
I’m Michal. Conversion Copywriter, Marketing Strategist, and (recovering) caramel ice cream addict.
Just eight years ago, I was a frazzled (and underpaid) feature writer, agency copywriter, and part-time speech therapist — embracing every job under the sun and convincing myself I should feel happy getting arachis hypogaea (AKA peanuts).
I loved my work — it was stimulating, meaningful, and challenging — but I felt scattered...and somewhat resentful. Deep down, I knew I was giving far more value than the payments that plopped into my bank account.
In 2016, I launched a proper copywriting business and went all in — and in 3 years, 10xed my monthly revenue.
(^^Sharing this because I want you to know that “grow your income” is not just a catchphrase on this page.)
Shameless show-off alert!!
(I 💓badges; indulge me)
I’m an alumna of The Copywriter Accelerator program and The Copywriter Think Tank, an exclusive mastermind for high-level copywriters from around the world.
Today, I run a boutique copywriting agency with an amazing team.
And I am so grateful to be typically booked 2-3 months in advance. I believe it’s because I’ve created a brand that attracts discerning clients who respect the process
I believe it’s because I’ve created a brand that attracts discerning clients who respect the process
— and I want to show you how to do the same.
“One of the best speakers we ever had."
When we asked Michal to speak at our event, we knew she would be good—she's a perfectionist after all. But wow... she was fantastic. Everyone was on the edge of their seats. She combines riveting stories with actionable advice that keep people listening. She's one of the best speakers we've ever had.

"Once you try a resource from Michal, it's hard for anyone else to match up."
Michal just has a way when it comes to crystallizing any topic, however new or complex. I've gotten so used to her style that any other tutorials or classes I've tried literally came across as dizzying. (Yes, world-renowned pros, I'm looking at you.)
It's not their fault. It's just that once you try a resource from Michal, whether her classes, membership groups, or project walkthroughs, it's hard for anyone to match up. You come away a million times cleverer and are always glad you invested the time or money.

“You will not find a better teacher than Michal.”
Sure, she has an incredible gift for structuring information in a way that just goes into your brain and stays there. But way more important? She really really — and I mean really really — cares about your success. Yes, even if you're student #489 in her 5th cohort.
The level of commitment Michal gives her community is beyond compare. I don't know how she does it (and she makes it look effortless too!) but the support you get from CopyTribe is unparalleled. And that — more than any of the very many skills you'll gain in the program — is what will transform your career.
