Success Story Interview:
Nikki Young
From Proofreader to Professional Copywriter
When the pandemic sent Nikki Young home from her full-time job as an internal auditor, she saw an opportunity. She started with proofreading, a skill that felt like a natural fit and gave her the confidence to begin working with clients.
What she didn’t expect was how quickly that path would lead her into full-fledged copywriting … and open the door to a whole new lifestyle.
Today, Nikki is running her own writing business and laying the foundation for her dream of spending winters in Belize with her husband.
In this episode of Inside AWAI, Nikki shares the turning points, client wins, and mindset shifts that helped her make the leap, and how her journey can inspire your own.
What you’ll discover in the interview:
- How proofreading became her “gateway” to copywriting
- The pivotal moment she realized she was ready for bigger projects
- The strategy that helped her overcome imposter syndrome
- Why flexibility has opened unexpected doors
- The advice she wishes she’d taken sooner
