What I'm looking for

I’m open to contractor or employee roles with APAC hours, async work, or evening overlap with Europe.

At Start Copywriting, I built an education brand with 10 online courses and the Copy Academy membership community, with 35,000+ enrolments on Skillshare. I also created “Copywriting with ChatGPT” early.

At Outsourced Doers (now Doneverse), I ran weekly group coaching calls for a community of 500+ founders. I coached members on messaging, offers, pricing and funnels, and reviewed their marketing live.

Through Copywriting Crew, I delivered 500+ client projects across 153 industries and recruited, trained and managed 20+ remote writers and editors. Client results included a campaign that generated $1.2M in revenue.

Now, at CheapHousesEurope.com, I’ve built a newsletter funnel and automated its weekly workflow. I also build AI-assisted content systems with Make.com, Claude and Gemini, including tools for newsletters, social posts and client-voice drafts.
