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.

Meet Chris Pearson and Ben Henken.
They very kindly allowed me to interrogate them for a SUPER special episode of my podcast (which I finally named), Classroom to Copy.
Check out Episode 5, “More Done Than Perfect — The Value of Community and Mentorship in Copywriting”!
(So, although Chris didn’t transition from teaching, he’s got a really cool story that I believe anyone can learn from.)
We talked about:
– How Chris went from quitting his job without a plan, with only two months of savings… to clearing $20K in total gross revenue last month and working on a huge deal with an agency to build their email department…
– How Ben went from being a Math teacher and assistant principal… to becoming an email list manager for DTC eCommerce brands, information clients, and ed-tech clients within a year!
– Why you shouldn’t overlook (1) your use of time, (2) your budget, and (3) your short-term sacrifices to successfully make the transition into full-time copywriting
– How Chris and Ben took vastly different approaches to generating leads and clients for their freelancing businesses
– Chris’s surprising “trick” for making great sales calls, and Ben’s interesting perspective on Upwork as a “front-end offer” for his funnel
– The ONE thing all 3 of us have in common that accelerated our progress and transition (we all wish we’d discovered it sooner)
