They\u2019re likely to be charging low rates for their work simply because they&#8217;re new. Could that explain why copywriters without a niche earn less?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So we went back to the numbers and took out all the copywriters with less than a year\u2019s experience. The numbers definitely get closer, but a significant difference remains.<\/span><\/p>\n<table>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td><strong>Single Niche<\/strong><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">$68,425<\/span><\/td>\n<td><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><strong>Multiple Niches<\/strong><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">$65,122<\/span><\/td>\n<td><strong><em>5% less<\/em><\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><strong>No Niche<\/strong><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">$56,864<\/span><\/td>\n<td><strong><em>17% less<\/em><\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And what if we only compare copywriters with 3+ years of experience?
