50 Copywriters to Consider in 2023

/ Blog / By Troy Ericson

In December, I launched an article called “44 Most Popular Copywriters of 2022” that was based on the first 712 answers worth of interview data from Copywriting.org. The article gave a LOT of shocking insight into which copywriters & entrepreneurs were the most top-of-mind in 2022. You can read the article here, or see all of our articles in the Copywriting.org Blog.

But today I want to highlight 50 copywriters I interviewed on Copywriting.org who you may or may not have heard of before… but are doing good work for their clients within different sub-sectors of the copywriting industry. There’s a TON of variety, backgrounds, and unique experience.

Below, I have listed all 50 names & a short summary of what they do & something unique about them (not in any particular order). To learn more about each person, simply click on their name in orange to read their full interview & contact information.

P.S. I’m technically not going to include myself in this article, but if you don’t know me, I’m Troy Ericson – the owner of Copywriting.org, EmailDeliverability.com, EmailListManagement.com, & MailGenius.com.

Now, let’s get started introducing these 50 Copywriters to Consider in 2023:

Jason Capital

Jason Capital was one of the first entrepreneurs to write successful chat scripts that help businesses close clients or members without actually taking a sales call. These days, many people prefer texting a business rather than calling – and Jason Capital is an absolute professional that I’ve personally hired to help me with this. He’s also one of the world’s top experts on selling courses & information products online.

Jon Benson

There’s SO much talk about AI copywriting right now – but Jon Benson’s CopyPro.AI doesn’t get enough credit compared to ChatGPT. I’ve personally spoken with Jon about his AI, which you can hear in our video interview on his profile (you’ll also hear about how he created the first VSL). It’s really incredible to hear what CopyPro.AI is capable of whether you’re a business owner or a copywriter.

Stefan Georgi

Stefan Georgi is probably the industry’s largest supporter of AI copywriting – and he’s constantly sharing his insights on it. Whether on his email list, Facebook profile, or Copy Accelerator Mastermind, Stefan is at the cutting edge of AI copywriting. Stefan was already among the world’s best copywriters – and now he’s at a whole new level, whether he’s writing for clients or teaching students how to write.

Maria Gudelis

Maria Gudelis has been a student of mine for years now – and she’s gotten really good at email marketing. However, I didn’t know until I recently interviewed Maria on video that she’s also helped write some of the most creative ads I’ve ever heard of. She said that one of her clients scaled from $0 to $10k per day with her help as a rev share partner – incredible!

Patrick Chan

Patrick Chan is another long-time student of mine who’s created some of the most unique email strategies I’ve ever seen. From generating 10,000+ free subscribers to creating viral discount codes… Patrick is at the top of his game. In my video interview with Patrick, he says that these strategies added up to over $5,000,000 of pure profit for one of his clients.

Jay Beistle

Jay Beistle is one of the ‘old school’ copywriters on this list – he’s even worked under Dan Kennedy! Jay has decades of experience, starting in print advertising – and now he’s part of my Email List Management Certification Program – where he puts a special emphasis on not just email copy, but also deliverability.

Ernie Trevino

Ernie Trevino has a higher education & a good-paying tech job – but that couldn’t stop his passion for email marketing & copywriting. I recently found out that a copywriter friend of his ‘forced’ him to go to Internet Marketing Party in Austin, Texas – where Ernie began to fall in love with copywriting (and has since heavily invested in his own education). Today, he spends his time after work on email marketing & loves writing in the golf niche.

Cole Buckwalter

Cole Buckwalter has an incredible story in which he lost his ability to do his 9-5 job due to health-related issues. Rather than feeling sorry for himself, Cole has quickly become one of my hardest working Email List Management students & is starting to rack up wins for his email clients – many of which can be heard in my video interview with Cole.

Alena Plavsic

Alena made a name for herself by raising over $8,000,000 for Non-For-Profit Businesses via copywriting.

From that day on, Steve has written every form of direct response copy, sales letters, VSLs, emails, funnels, launches, etc in niches like financial, biz opp, health, & personal development. Steve’s work is so good that he’s continued to work with roughly 50 clients over the years that keep coming back, including countless 7 figure entrepreneurs.
