Kirsty Simpkins
Copywriting Coach
Today, Kirsty is living the dream: travelling the world while making money from her laptop. But it wasn’t always this way. In fact, she never thought it would even be possible.
She always wanted to write, but had no idea how to make money from it. She graduated from 3 of the UK’s top universities but she had no idea what she wanted to do. So, she went into teaching.
Despite enjoying the positive effect she had on the lives of young people, she began to crave a creative outlet and her feet were itching.
In an attempt to satiate her wanderlust, she began working in schools internationally. However, she became trapped in China during their zero-covid regime, enduring harsh lockdowns and being taken into centralized quarantine.
Kirsty took this as a sign that something had to change.
Once out of lockdown, she spent every waking moment educating herself on the possibilities of online work. The more she learned, the more she realised that she could make a living by selling her writing services online.
Within 12 months, she had invested thousands in courses, spent hours poring over business books, listening to podcasts and working on her side-hustle.
By the end of the year, she had replaced her previous income while working just a third of the hours.
She booked a one-way ticket to Thailand. And from there, she travelled to Japan, Cambodia, Mexico, Guatemala, Spain and the UK.
In 2023, in love with her new lifestyle and obsessed with sharing her newfound freedom, she decided to create The Empowered Copywriter Master Program. She wanted everyone to know that, if she could do it, so could they.
In it, she teaches others how to build their copywriting side-hustle and escape the grind of a traditional 9-5 job. Whether that’s to travel the world, spend more time with family or simply pursue other interests!
Her program promises results in 90 days or less with the comforting notion that students needn’t quit their current job in order to achieve great success.
