17-Year old Brazilian copywriter makes $23K salary plus commissions (her ads have made $20MM)
Amanda Khayat is a French-Arab + Brazilian copywriter. She doesn't speak English. She started copywriting at 15 years old. She wrote copy on her phone because she couldn't afford a computer. She's 17 years old now and the Copy Chief / Creative Director for the biggest Brazilian direct response publishers. She manages and trains teams of copywriters while also writing winning ads of her own. She gets a $23K retainer (I'm not sure if that's monthly or yearly) and profit share. Her ads have generated $20MM. She doesn't use AI to write ads. Watch this 3-hour interview. It's dubbed in English. It's a creative strategy course on its own.
