How To Know If Your Conversion Copywriter Is Actually Good

Should a good copywriter make you rich?

If you've ever wondered whether your copywriter is actually good, this episode gives you permission to stop measuring by the wrong metrics.

I had such an interesting conversation in a Voxer chat that I knew I had to bring it to the podcast:
"Should I evaluate how good a conversion copywriter is by how much revenue they generate?"

This got me thinking about everything I've learned and experienced over the last seven years as a DFY conversion copywriter. The truth is, most founders don't know how to evaluate whether a copywriter is actually good. So they reach for the easiest metric: revenue.

In this episode, we're breaking down what actually determines whether a conversion copywriter is doing good work, why revenue isn't always the right measure, and how you can know if you're getting real value from your investment in copywriting. Whether you're considering hiring a copywriter or you're already working with one and wondering if it's actually working, this is a practical, honest conversation you need to hear.

This is for you if you’ve wondered:

• Is my copywriter actually good, or is the problem somewhere else in my funnel?
• Should I be evaluating a copywriter based on the revenue they generate?
• If a copywriter is so talented, why aren't they rich themselves?
• How do I know if the copy did its job?
• What am I actually supposed to measure when hiring or evaluating a copywriter?
• Is it possible that great copy exists inside a broken marketing system?
• Who is responsible for marketing results?
