KJ Rainey freakin’ loves hoodies, man. He loves hoodies like boomers love explaining how “nobody wants to work anymore.”
No, the way Disney adults love treating every churro like it was made by Walt himself.
No, the way vegans love asking if anything on the menu can be “modified.”
You get the idea. KJ really, truly loves his hoodies.
He also loves JC and his pops – the OG Himself.
Oh, and copywriting. Which is why you’re here, innit?
Read on for my Copy Elite review.
TheCopyElite.com calls out serious copywriters only.
Sign your next three to five clients in the next 120 days, guaranteed – or get a 100% refund – the headline says.
Goodness.
I’m bricked up like a freshly-paved road.
KJ says many people have come through this exact funnel and changed their lives forever, and he wants you to be next.
But you’re caught in a pickle right now, aren’t you?
You’re making a little bit of money, but you wanna make a whole lot more.
And you know copywriting’s the skill that’s gonna take you there. You see people like KJ, and they got the game in a squeeze.
So why not you? Huh? What’s stopping you from turning sentences into stacks?
There’s two things, KJ says:
- You have no idea how to get clients.
- Even if you did, you just can’t spit that hot fire on the page, can you?
Well, guess what?
Copy Elite solves these problems. They help you get clients and keep ’em for a long-ass time.
Which is what every copywriting program promises. Right? So what makes KJ’s course any different?
He says it’s because they take a “first principles” approach. They come up with ideas and solutions based off undeniable truths, rather than guessing or listening to other so-called experts.
So they teach you, literally:
- What is money?
- How is it created?
- Why do businesses work?
- How do you make a value creation system?
That lays the foundation from which you build from. Otherwise, no amount of prospecting, pitching, or pecking that keyboard’s gonna work.
Now. From there, yeah, they’ve got systems and resources and templates just like everybody else.
Basically, everything you need to write words that slap harder than your ex and pay better than your 9-to-5.
But you want Hoodie King to shut his mouth and show some proof, don’t you? You want receipts.
Because right now, this feels like that Amazon package that says delivered but you never got it. Roll the Ring camera footage, KJ.
Happy to, he says, highlighting the following Copy Elite reviews:
- Ben Raham went from zero to $5k per month in just three months, writing copy for big names like Andy Elliott and Brad Lea.
- Jason Maulucci reached $5k per month in four months, including a 25% rev share deal with monster upside.
- Jesrin Redulla doubled his income from $7k per month to $14k… in only two months.
- Chad Holyoak lived up to his name, shooting to $3k per month inside of 60 days. For one of his clients, he increased their monthly sales by 50% (which was $80-freaking-K, bro).
- James Duncan struggled with procrastination and perfectionism until KJ set him straight, unlocking an extra $3k per month in no time.
- Matthew Vyrostko went from complete beginner to $2k per month in four months.
- Rohan Biswas hit $2k per month in three months despite living in India. So don’t gimme that “waah, I’m not in the U.S.” excuse.
A page full of testimonials and a pocket full of sunshine – nice.
But where’s KJ’s copy that’s hot enough to fog up a screen? Haven’t seen it.
No price tag in sight, either. Hate when they do that.
Not that it matters to me.
I’d rather drink crackhouse toilet water (Dasani) than answer to clients. That’s why I put my copy on websites I own and then rent them to other businesses.

Q&A
Q: What’s KJ’s business called?
A: All In Holdings, LLC, based out of Cumming, Georgia. Probably no stoplight in that town, but you can count on a Waffle House.
Q: KJ Rainey net worth?
A: Mid-six figures, if I had to guess. He says he only makes $20k a month writing copy. And The Copy Elite doesn’t have that many members, so it’s early innings in KJ’s career.
Q: Does KJ have a free newsletter?
A: You’d think so, but all I could find was an old Beehiiv opt-in page – barren like a dirt lot littered with crushed beer cans and a rogue toilet seat. There’s always a rogue toilet seat, isn’t there?
Q: KJ Rainey course free download?
A: Sure, no problem. I’ll send you the link along with a wrist band for the psych ward, genius.
Q: How’s his YouTube channel?
A: It’s got potential. I wouldn’t gut it and sell it for parts just yet. And you know what? Props to him for putting himself out there; that takes guts.
Q: Anything interesting on Reddit, Trustpilot, or BBB regarding KJ?
A: Just a glowing Trustpilot review he left for another program he apparently bought called Imperium Acquisition, which tells me he’s still figuring this game out himself. Other than that, Reddit lumps him in with the rest of the copywriting gurus, saying you need these courses like a diabetic needs a dozen donuts.
Q: Do you agree?
A: Sort of. I’m okay with the right people buying or selling courses. But most people are not the right people. Either they’re unqualified to teach or they’re incapable of learning and executing. That’s why the failure rates are so high and the industry gets such a bad rap.
Q: So what about KJ – does he know enough to teach copywriting?
A: I’m not convinced that he does. And his Twitter (or X) feed ain’t helping. It’s stuffed with platitudes like, “If you’re not willing to fail, you’re not ready to succeed.” Or this earth-shattering insight: “Your moment will come. Make sure you’re ready when it does.” If that’s KJ’s best cooking, why do I feel like I just ate a week-old taquito from QuickTrip’s greasiest roller grill?
Q: True. Isn’t the first rule of copy: Don’t be boring?
A: It should be. Otherwise, you’re just another dirty keyboard hamster, spinning the wheel while everyone ignores you. I guess you can always join KJ’s free Copy Elite Skool group or snoop around in his Discord. Ask to see some sales pages he’s written for clients – you’ll know quickly if he’s legit or if his digital persuasion skills are on par with that of, oh I dunno, a school janitor.

Q: What is Copyhackers?
A: It’s this big-ass website by Joanna Wiebe that offers over 20 different copywriting courses, including her flagship program, Copy School, which is priced at $1,997.
Q: Ditto The Copy Cure?
A: That’s Marie Forleo and Laura Belgray’s $1,499 copywriting cohort that opens just once a year. Bad for you, great for them – because, hey, scarcity sells.
Q: Isn’t copywriting getting saturated by now?
A: Competitive? Yes. Saturated? Only if your copy’s so bland nobody remembers it – as if they got memory-wiped, Men In Black style. But if your writing grabs them by the hoodie, shouts, “Listen up, bucko!” and makes ’em whip out their wallets? You’ll never hafta worry about saturation.
Q: Fair enough. But is copywriting actually worth it?
A: Absolutely, if you’re good at it and you enjoy researching and writing and editing and editing and editing and editing and being told what to do. Copywriting can pay six figures or more, and businesses will always need words that sell.
Q: Is copywriting better than ghostwriting?
A: It depends. If you want quick income, copywriting wins. Why? Because you can pitch small, specific projects at a lower price, making it less risky for clients to say yes. Ghostwriting gigs can be tougher to land without a strong reputation, but they often pay more and can provide recurring income, especially if you’re managing ongoing projects like social media content.
Q: How to get your first copywriting client?
A: Write, post, repeat. Offer free work to small businesses or solopreneurs, get testimonials, and flip that into paying gigs. Momentum over perfection, potna.
Q: How long till I’m successful at copywriting?
A: That’s on you. Could be a few weeks, or never – if, instead of doing the work, you waste time rewatching The Office and arguing with strangers online.
Q: Can I make copywriting a full-time career, or is it more of a side hustle?
A: Again, entirely up to you. But if you can get your sticky Laffy Taffy hands on one client, why not two? Then three, then four. If you can get off zero, no reason you couldn’t take it full-time.
Q: I’m interested in what you do. Can you break it down for me?
A: You bet, pookie. That’s what this video’s for.
