"It's" is a valid contraction of "it has".
Edit: glossed over the other "it's"... doh.

If you can replace “it’s” with “it is” or “it has” it needs an apostrophe. If you can’t, because it’s a possessive pronoun showing ownership, there’s no apostrophe.
“It’s a good day.”/“It’s been a good day.”
vs
“Its day was good.”

"It has helped me..." doesn't sound quite correct to me but i am not a native speaker so i may be wrong
tacosanonymous 8 points 3 months ago
English speakers use has/have/had to signify perfect tenses, meaning the actions are completed but have effects that continue.
So past perfect: It had helped me. Present perfect: it has helped me.
OfCourseNot 3 points 3 months ago
No. 'Has helped' is the present perfect.

Retiring after a couple months sounds pretty sweet tbh.

I make over 73 cents a month staring at the sidewalk as I walk to work. With 3 easy payments of 59.99 I can show you how.
toynbee 2 points 3 months ago
I have two things to say to you.
I once unexpectedly saw my username embedded in the ground while staring at the sidewalk walking home from work and ...
Once my cousin confused the salt and sugar while visiting my childhood home and accidentally sugared her spaghetti. I don't think she finished it.

... how... does copywriting... have ... margins?
What are you classing as expenses?
You need an AP Style Guide, and your brain, and working eyes and fingers and a keyboard mouse and computer.
Wtf are margins?
You have an ongoing regular cost?
... this is a guide on how to set up some kind of LLM to do your copywriting, isn't it?
Robust_Mirror 26 points 3 months ago
He's also accidentally claiming expenses in the realm of 40k a month. Even the most expensive llm don't need that.

The broker that my retirement account is through is pushing some new AI insights tool. The screenshots show an example of a conversation that essentially goes.
Q: "How can I reach my retirement savings goals faster?"
A: "Consider contributing more to your 401k from each paycheck."
People will actually pay money to have some slop chatbot tell them that they can have more money in their account if they put more money in their account. Preying on stupid or lazy people is an extremely lucrative industry.

Shit you're right. If I price it half a million, no way two idiots buy a copy

If nothing else, that Louis Theroux documentary about the manosphere exposed how all this influencer crap is built on a bunch of exceptionally dubious finance apps, that make Bernie Madoff look like a legit business mogul.
They all talked about how wealthy they were, but none of them really seemed rich. Rich people aren't up at 6am editing YouTube shorts and putting in the right hashtags. They're all living on borrowed money, and you get the feeling that if any of them tried to step off the treadmill, there'd be no life left to go back to.

With AI running rampant, I have to imagine copywriters have been decimated.
w3ird_sloth 4 points 3 months ago
Got laid off last fall. SEO is already pretty much slop so it was the perfect industry for LLMs. It was already getting hard to find good content online because of all the garbage we were loading up with keywords to game search. Now with AI generating it 24/7 traditional search is just dead in the water.
explodicle 4 points 3 months ago
Last night we were playing D&D and one of other players showed off a miniature character model he had generated with AI. "I'm glad I didn't go to school for 3D modeling", he says.
Guess what I took a bunch of classes for since the 1990s.
Whatever, my models all have more heart than slop. They can't afford me and I'm not making them free models anyways.

This isn't just the scamming internet randos, it goes into pretty high level business consulting.
"We just hired a company that has never worked in our field who doesn't employ anyone who has worked in our field to tell us how to work in our field better than we do today, this should be great!"
They always act so shocked that the consultancy did them zero good after giving them a few months.
iocase 8 points 3 months ago
The consultants are literally a place to blame for mass firings or restructuring. Most of the time they recommend changes management wanted but couldn't say out loud since it would spook shareholders. It's dumb but it's how the majority of the consultancy grift works.

If you could make that kind of money with copy writing, I'd be rich. Copy writers, tech writers, basically any kind of writers are always underappreciated and underpaid.

The word “journey” has been completely ruined by business idiots.

Reminds me of those ads where scammer pretends if you invest in some obvious scam you too will own a jet and a Ferarri just like him. If it was such an amazing way to make money the last thing they'd do is tell anyone else about it.

$400,000.00/$20pbj=200,000bj/31day month=645.16 bj per day/12 hr day= 54 blow jobs per hour to make $400,000.00 a month, this man really is hustling

Is the headline a reference to the smart move during a gold rush being to sell mining equipment instead of land claims?

I mean, this is funny in two directions; there's the overt joke that the masterclass man is full of bs, which is true a lot of the time, and then there's the joke for the enlightened people of the audience who are on the quest to perceive and undo the karmic fetters that bind them to the existence-illusion complex, and we laugh at the slaves who, by defining their lives by money, has enslaved themselves by the way they choose to live their life.
I haven't had a "job" in twelve years. I value that. It's gets annoying hearing all your coworkers bitch about being in the same place you are, so I went off and started my educational art project soon after I taught myself to juggle, and there's been low points of high stress, a few years of homelessness, and a year spent in a cult, but because I dedicated myself to my mission, I now have made many unique friends who support me as well as a major investor and a book and a life story that healed me of the shit society broke me with.
It's really cool when you grow tf up and stop doing what your parents with lead poisoning told you how to live your life. You prolly dress like your mommy taught you to dress, still, but I just say that because in my daily performance art, I wound up with a fun opportunity to moonlight as a cop, so I consciously try to pick fights, passively. But I just say that because there's a percentage of the population that doesn't know that yet. It's educational!

Dude’s a copywriter and can’t use “it’s” properly. Grammar must be less important when you’re making 400k a month.
