You can start with something small and work up big.
The first month of X Copywriters launching, I worked my ass off for $400. It felt shit to be paid so little with so much investment. I'm not talking 8 hour days here either: when I wasn't sleeping, I was on the PC, reaching out and trying to improve my situation. I knew it wasn't going to be rainbows and butterflies from the get go, but I stuck to it because I wanted a future that wasn't salary capped.
Six months later? Different story. Since Feb 1st, I've signed and sealed around $6,000 in contracts. I'm 22 years old.
There's a luxury associated with not having to go to work each day with people you don't like in clothes that don't fit doing bullshit you don't care about.
If you'd have offered me $50k a year for some desk job at the start of last year, I'd have probably taken it. Would it have been a good idea? Sure. But some people don't want that lifestyle. Some want growth that they control, not what the person in charge of bonuses and promotions controls.

Sure, its a good place to start. But in and of itself enough of a reason to stop working for someone else? why stop working for someone else until you're making more in porn than you do from your day job? If I had, I could never have supported myself and grow my business. Why would you quit a job for $700 a week when you could keep the job and earn $700 on top of your wage and plow that back into your business, on top of whatever amount you are contributing from your wage, to grow it to the point where you earn more than a measley $700?
