Curious how proactive you were in figuring out you wanted to do it vs. just discovering it or realizing it was something you wanted. Think that is my main issue is figuring out what I like to do or want to do.
I wasn't actively considering it before, but when the realization hit it was like a lightening bolt. A lot of my more insightful moments make me feel as if something knocked me off my feet, so that might just be me. But the decision happened all at once and when I started thinking about why I shouldn't do copywriting, none of those reasons were very good and / or were mostly fear based. So I know I was just trying to convince myself out of it due to fear based BS.
And then i realized that It was primarily fear that has kept me from becoming a copywriter all along. I have like 300 gigs of material on my computer of copy related courses I've collected over the years. So this is like cosmic timing, if there is such a thing. I have the material, I have the intermediate / advanced marketing background, and i have the deep determination to get it to work. Check, check andddd...check. Literally nothing holding me back now.
In regards to barrier to entry and worry that I might not become successful in branding myself...these were the exact same worries i had when first starting my traffic biz. Everything was against me, but I knew i could make it work. And i did.
I seriously think BASE could help you possibly find a profitable niche / market that you could explore and possibly make work for you while also doing the self publishing on the side. This is literally what I'm doing now and BASE helped me do it.
