Freelance copywriter here! Can confirm AI is nowhere near a real human at writing personality-driven conversion copy, or even just good content. My clients love me because I know their brand, I know what they sound like, I write how they want to be seen by their audience, and I help them educate and sell. If you have any inclination for writing at all, this is totally a skill you can learn in weeks to months teaching yourself for free via KZbin/blogs, etc, or check out courses like the Copywriter Club. Best of luck y’all!

[@MyNameIsDeya]

yeah, i completely agree -- I've tried a million different ways and AI just can not generate proper personality-driven copy or *good* content even with samples and detailed prompts.

[@atreyeeeee]

Hi Amanda, I am just starting out as a freelance copywriter and I would love to connect with you. I've subscribed to your channel but is there any other way I can reach you or join your community?

[@SpoilerJunkie]

wow, business owners don't even use google you just blew my mind

[@melulo]

hey thank you. It narrowed down the path. Great ideas!

[@SuperLivin4jesus]

Thanks, great video. Definitely subscribed.

[@just.fisayo]

Great video. Thank you for the ideas.

[@candy808100]

im so happy i came across your channel, very insightful:)

[@chrisdoukiris7132]

Great Video! Awesome and helpful.

[@itsybitsy8385]

THIS IS THE BEST VIDEO EVER. Please make a detailed video for each of these niches, kind of like the freelancing guide video you did. Please make niche-specific guides on each of these.

[@shamsbt]

I am getting so much value from your videos! Thanks so much Deya. Definitely interested in youtube-related freelancing niche.

[@crystalpulseTV]

Fantastic video. I've watched a lot of these, and no one really goes into the specificity that you did here. This was actually helpful, instead of vaguely helpful like the others 🤣 Great, stuff, thank you!

[@sanjanabehera7445]

Your videos look SO cool, Deya! 😍

[@MyNameIsDeya]

Thanks Sanjana!!! Appreciate that. We've been working hard haha

[@atinyleaf5014]

Your editing is improving eh :) Thanks for the valuable info!

[@SpongeBob-xh8ir]

She don't do it 😂

[@movewithivy]

Thank you!

[@crash_davis]

Subscribed 😊

[@isaiasprestes9759]

I love this pixelized Mondrian-style shirt!

[@MyNameIsDeya]

thank ya!! i thrifted it actually

[@aninoritse_glows]

Hi, Deya! I've been binging on your videos since this year began, and my foremost thought is: I can't believe this much VALUE is free!! What will your paid stuff be like?❤❤❤ Can't wait to take your DBM Bootcamp soon🎉 Your video on ranking freelancing platforms was a particularly huge hit for me. I've been a Fiverr freelancer for 1.6 years now (level 2, thank God), but I'd really LOVE to transit to Contra. You sold me on it🔥 Could you consider doing a video on your best tips on how to build a stunning profile there and thrive? We're really missing that Insider info here on YT. I (and I know, thousands of others) would be SO happy if you could! Have a great weekend, Deya!⭐️

[@MyNameIsDeya]

ah thank you SO much, Aninoritse! that's so kind of you & i'm so glad you're finding the videos helpful. cheering you on as you try out Contra! I'll add that idea my list for sure -- thank ya!

[@mohibquadri4053]

Deya which books talks about communication & persuasion when talking to first time clients, business people so that to build rapport with them on phone call email etc

[@androidmasterycourse]

I like your videos too much ❤

[@jdemetz86]

Fantastic video as always, but your video link at the end didn't show up for me.

[@MyNameIsDeya]

That video is coming out next week, haha! Sorry about that :D

[@vitababens7794]

Thanks, great video. What do you think about podcast management?

[@MyNameIsDeya]

Definitely also a good niche -- similar to KZbin as everyone is starting a podcast now. I'd start as a Podcast Assistant --> Podcast Manager --> Podcast Strategist. I'd cold pitch your favorite mid-sized podcasts with some killer samples.

[@vitababens7794]

@@MyNameIsDeya thanks so much for taking the time to reply. My other worry is that AI is coming out with tools that make podcast editing a pretty easy and fast task to do and therefore I am afraid that these services will become either super cheap or even obsolete in the near future. I would so like to hear your opinion on this.

[@iamKadusa]

Thank you

[@adrianablasquez6572]

I have been working in planning and organizing business trips, groups and comventions. That will be a good skil to become a Digital Business Managemnt? Do you have a course on that?

[@merazmi1971]

I have experience as software developer at my current company, it is possible for me to start freelancing as developer too? Or i should start with an agency straight away

[@catalintrif6296]

Don't agree with your data entry statement (AI is just not there yet), but other than that, the content is top notch!

[@keanogangoso1596]

Hi Deya, are youcurrently hiring by any chance?

[@relationshipsfixwithlizzy]

Plz am from Nigeria and I stumbled on this video from Google.. Plz I want to start freelancing as a writer and a virtual assistant playing how do I start..

[@senorfavorita7457]

What about web development?

[@fgmuhammadabbas-xr4cm]

Nice

[@VRListXYZ]

Don't sleep on VR! It will be a great additional income stream for many people, there are already people in the space that have been making money for some years now. Either as a builder, scripter, VR DJ, VR Artist, etc. Or just extending their real life skill or business into VR as well.

[@backlaceanarchy]

Could you name a few as I’m interested in AI as that’s something I’m trying to become a Vtuber

[@victoriagillerlain]

Really interested in KZbin creator specific support. I was looking for Colin and Samir’s job board you were talking about but was having trouble finding it. Do you mind linking it? Would love to look into anything else similar out there if anyone knows of any!

[@MyNameIsDeya]

here you go - jobs.thepublishpress.com/ :)

[@victoriagillerlain]

@@MyNameIsDeya thank you! Super appreciate it.

[@PricklyPapaya]

I am a KZbin scriptwriter and I want to grow my business into an agency but I don't know if I should go into KZbin strategy just focus on writing and go into ghostwriting

[@MyNameIsDeya]

Can you try a small YT strategy package to see how you like it and then gauge from there if you want to continue doing it or just do scriptwriting?

[@PricklyPapaya]

Wow this is really helpful. Thank you Deya

[@ChessInspiration]

Hello deya. do you have a discord server about freelancing?

[@MyNameIsDeya]

oooooo that's a good idea - I'll think about starting one!! thank ya

[@ChessInspiration]

@@MyNameIsDeya 👍

[@MikeyWritesCopy]

Can I be your Cat Community Manager, Deya?! Please?...

[@jennysnowflower]

How would you make a portfolio as a wannabe KZbin assistant? 🤔

[@MyNameIsDeya]

What would someone hiring a youtube assistant want help with + want to see proof of? E.g. "help with researching video ideas" --> make a portfolio sample where you research a bunch of video ideas for a specific youtuber / niche.

[@jennysnowflower]

@@MyNameIsDeya Thanks Deya!

[@loopzz5526]

god she's adorable.
