Filthy Rich Writer
Two experienced copywriters teach aspiring freelancers how to build a profitable writing business, from client-pitching to pricing.
This is the content marketing engine for a copywriting school. Co-hosts and course creators Nicki Krawczyk and Kate Sitarz alternate between tactical two-hander episodes and interviews with their own successful students. They offer highly specific, often contrarian advice on the business of copywriting, framing their program's methodology as the definitive path to success.
“Unlike broader writing podcasts, its direct tie-in to the hosts' own paid course (the Comprehensive Copywriting Academy) results in highly opinionated advice, with student success stories frequently used as case studies to validate their methods.”

What you'll be asked on this show
The show is a mix of co-hosted chats and interviews. When interviewing guests (who are typically students), both Nicki and Kate participate actively. They begin by establishing the guest's origin story before they found copywriting. Questions are open-ended and designed to walk the guest through their journey, focusing on their mindset shifts, challenges, and the practical steps they took to build their business using the hosts' methods. The hosts are very encouraging, often sharing their own related experiences to build rapport and reinforce the episode's lesson.
Episodes alternate between two-host discussions on a single business topic (e.g., pricing, VIP days) and interviews. The tone is practical, encouraging, and prescriptive, often promoting a specific "business owner" mindset. The hosts are conversational, often opening with light personal banter before diving into the main topic.
