417: Running a seven-figure agency with an army of one (with Anjeanette Carter)
Episode 17
Sunday, 16 August, 2026
Season 4, episode 17 is here!Anjeanette Carter is a seven-figure copywriter and agency owner who now spends her time helping other writers land real, well-paid work. She runs a Substack about making money as a writer and a twice-weekly job board that weeds out the scams most people fall for. This chat was full of practical, no-nonsense advice.What we covered:Why Anjeanette took a $60 job after she was already earning multiple six figures, and what she calls the sweat equity that makes it worth it.The messy behind the scenes of her job board, and why she had to take back a task she thought she could easily hand off.What actually makes a writing job a scam, and the thing LinkedIn does that quietly sends you straight toward them.Why personal stories matter more in 2026 than they did two years ago, and what changed to make that true.How she went from managing seven writers to letting them all go, and the one pairing she says makes a writer unstoppable now.The small thing almost nobody does when they send a connection request that gets hers read every single time.The one word she says separates the writers who make it from the ones who quit, and the daily streak she uses to prove she lives by it.You can find Anjeanette on Substack here.
