What is Filthy Rich Writer?
The Comprehensive Copywriting Academy or Filthy Rich Writer Academy is an online writing SEO copywriting course by Founder – Nicki Krawczyk.
Nicki has been an experienced copywriter for 20+ years, making over six figures. As seen on her extensive portfolio, she has worked with several large and small businesses.
She created Filthy Rich Writer (blog) and Comprehensive Copywriting Academy (course) because she couldn’t find high-quality copywriting courses to help beginners make money copywriting.

How I Successfully Made My Transition into Copywriting.
In 2017, I realised I liked writing stories and articles. So I signed on to WordPress, got myself a website and started writing monthly blog posts for fun.
After a while, I wanted to find a way to use that skill and write for money. Writing stories or books was difficult. So what other means did I have?
And just like luck would have it – in late 2019, a friend of mine offered me my first ‘copywriting‘ gig – 5 pages of webcopy for a carwash website.
I had no experience writing for business whatsoever, and I did not even realise it was called copywriting at the time. However, I told him to give me a few days, and I would study everything I needed to know so that I could take on the job.
I watched some Youtube videos, did some research online and then did the job, for which I earned €100.
Very little you may say, but that was all the motivation I needed to start my journey into copywriting.
How I Found Out About the Comprehensive Copywriting Academy.
You will hear a lot of people tell you that you can learn everything about Copywriting through free content online. My experience is that this is absolutely not TRUE.
- Free content is helpful, yes. But it is mostly superficial and touches only the surface.
- Paid copywriting courses, however, can be very expensive. And that was my dilemma.
I came across several recommended full copywriting courses but they were all between $850 and $5000. I didn’t have that type of money lying around to pay for long and possibly scammy courses!
What I wanted was a course that was:
- Very Affordable
- Concise
- Straight to the point
- Relevant and
- Practical.
Here Comes Nicki Krawczyk to the Rescue.
I found out about Filthy Rich Writer through a random Facebook thread in late 2021. This was a copywriter group I had joined, where new and veteran copywriters would discuss how to help each other.
They would discuss various issues and recommend various learning materials to the group. Filthy Rich Writer kept popping up in various different threads time and time again. For about a whole month, everyone had nothing else to say but positive things about them.
So I finally decided to check it out.
Why did it take me so long?
Remember how I said I was worried about scam courses? Well I am even more skeptical about courses with names that sound overly-promising.
And that was how I felt about the name – Filthy Rich Writer.
To me, the name was over-the-top and abrasive. A course called Filthy Rich Writer is very obviously a scam. I had seen too many of them.
And what made my suspicions even worse was the fact that this ‘Comprehensive Copywriting Course‘ was only $600 (in 2021). The entire thing!
So I decided to check out FilthyRichWriter and its Comprehensive Copywriting Academy – just to confirm that this was indeed a SCAM.
However, I was WRONG!
Before I explain why, simply take a look at the ridiculous number of written testimonials of students by clicking below:
I had never seen anything quite like it. But that was not nearly enough for me. I was gonna need more than that to let go of my money.
So I combed through as many of online reviews as possible just to find negative ones. And I did.
To be fair, I did find a few negative reviews. But the negative reviews I found were usually people saying 1 of the below 3:
- They simply did not have the time,
- The price was too much for them or that
- The course simply wasn’t for them.
How Much is the Copywriting Academy Course now?
$697 – which can also be paid in 3 installments of $257 each.
Also, it would be difficult to find true negative reviews, which just goes to show you how much this course is approved by its students.
Can I sign up for FREE?
Yes!
That is exactly what I did. I needed to get my feet wet first before letting go of my hard-earned cash.
So I decided to sign up for a FREE video and FREE Emails first. I also watched a few videos of Nicki’s interaction with students.
In these videos, I was quite impressed with the authentic, down-to-earth interactions I watched. Every single video made me realise that Nicki seemed very genuine, relatable and wanted to help other people reach a similar level of success as she had.
She was no gatekeeper.
This means that she was willing to teach exactly as much as she had learned. In my experience, not every online teacher or ‘guru‘ is really this generous with information for just a $697 price tag.
She shared exactly what the SEO course content included, which far outstripped everything I had expected!
- She could train me in how to pitch to clients – across different platforms,
- Build my business & personal confidence
- And give me access to a nurturing 24/7 support group.
- All for just $600 at the time – on a payment plan. Which for me, was just $50 per month for 12 months. (Now it’s $697 on 3 instalments which still works out well for many people).
Take a look at the free training video below – and see if it’s for you.
Can anyone Make Money as a Copywriter?
The honest answer is NO!
Why? Because you need to be DAMN consistent and persistent.
Even when you do land clients, you would be lucky to land clients you can earn money from consistently. But that is only if you are working alone, or if you cannot quit your current full-time job to pursue copywriting full-time just yet – just like I was.
You might get high-paying clients, but that will require a combination of hard work, emailing, luck and excellent networking skills.
However, Nicki’s course is an incredible resource and a great place to start from if you are serious about copywriting.
I am a huge believer in the phrase ”Nothing good comes easy.” Because it is simply true.
And through Nicki’s course, I was able to earn just over €200 extra per month from copywriting while I was doing it in 2021.
The extra cash I earned allowed me to start my Affiliate Blogging side hustle and later Airbnb which I’ve been doing since.
€200 extra may not be much for some, but for others, it makes a world of difference.
