Hi! If you're a teacher who's dreaming of a career outside the classroom... but you think your options are limited to EdTech or Project Management, think again.
I'm Tania Yeo, your host. I'm a former teacher and current copywriter myself... and I'm on a mission to record the journeys of as many teachers-turned-copywriters as possible.
Why?
There's a thriving community of former teachers who've stumbled into the lucrative world of copywriting -- a.k.a. the art and science of writing ads, emails, and sales pages to sell products and services.
I never thought this life/career was possible, and I hope these stories help you to dream bigger.

About Chris Orzechowski:
In 2013, Chris knew from his first day as a teacher that he didn’t want to work a job for the rest of his life, but didn’t know what else he could do. So he started studying copywriting. In 2015, he landed his first copywriting gig and realized he’s found the “thing” he wants to do for the rest of his life. In 2017, he finally quit to become his own boss and full-time email copywriter. It’s been TEN years since Chris started, and he’s worked with over 200 clients like Jeff Walker, Filippo Loreti, NeuroGym, The Hustle, Betterment, and Rich Dad Poor Dad, generated over $100 million in revenue, and helped over 4,000 students start their copywriting careers. In 2020 he earned his millionth dollar from copywriting. In 2022, he was featured in a Forbes article where he talked about making $974,000 from his copywriting business last year… while only working four to five hours a day… with less than ten years of experience as a paid copywriter. He also does consulting, coaching, and team training, and he works as a fractional Chief Marketing Officer (fCMO) for two brands.
