Copy.ai is a new and FREE tool on the market that makes it easy to generate copy at scale by using AI to write your copy for you. Time for a Copy.ai review! This can be helpful for content creators, businesses and individuals who want to get more done in less time each day.
A great example of this would be writing emails or other forms of communication that are taking up too much of your time each day. And for me, that’s writing and coming up with Instagram captions. Oehlala, this tool is perfect for caption inspiration and I’ve posted more than ever since getting to know Copy.ai.
And I know what you’re thinking…
“But isn’t Copy.ai too expensive?”
It depends on how much time you’ll save by using it! If you can use this tool to save even just 1 hour per week of emailing back and forth with clients… then it will quickly pay for itself (even if they charge $500/mo). But for me, I run several Instagram accounts, and it’s been a MASSIVE time-saver, so yeah, it’s worth it. It’s FREE with this link or only $35 a month for the pro plan, and I make much more from each Instagram account so I’m super happy to learn about it and I can’t wait to tell you all about it in this review.
Let’s dive into my review of Copy.ai here now so we can find out if this tool is worth paying for or not!

I have listed the top 20 agencies that have landed me or people that I know big bucks. I think the correct term now is something like ‘influencer agency’ and not ‘blogging network’.
You can make big money with sponsored content, ugc creation and company collaborations. Your personal brand is worth a lot.
But what if companies don’t approach you?
You can approach them.
But as a blogger with a small audience, it’s more likely they will sell you a ‘no, not yet’ than a ‘yes, great let’s go’ But there are other options, you just have to know where the brands are that are actively looking to work with bloggers!
