,

If you have been on the internet for any length of time, you have probably heard multiple people talk about how great of a career copywriting can be.

So, people dive into it and want to get started, but they have no idea where or how to find clients to pay them.

While all of the internet gurus want you to believe that you’re going to make $10K a month with one hour a work while you sip your margarita on the beach, I’m going to let you know that it’s going to take a little more strategy than that.

How To Market Yourself In 2023 (Without Resorting To Dancing On The Internet)

, ,

The top question I am always asked when it comes to building a business is around how someone can market themselves online.

“Okay, I have a website, I have the skills, but how do I actually get clients? Especially more than just one or two clients?”

🤖 This blog was written by AI

I'm kidding, it wasn't actually written by AI, but I want to talk about it today.

There is no doubt that AI is here. Marketers are using it in droves and to think it won't have an impact on writers is insane.

There are currently two camps of people with AI I've seen: People who think the robots are god's gift and people who hate it and think it will have zero impact on writers.

Why I Switched To ConvertKit From Mailchimp

A few people who have been following my YouTube channel have been asking why I switched to ConvertKit from Mailchimp.

The answer is simple: it’s my favorite email marketing platform for creators.

Through the years as a copywriter, I’ve tested almost every email marketing platform out there. I would say most of them are fine and get the job done. Write email -> send email. Done.

Why Your Environment Matters

,

Today’s blog is straight from the heart today.

We need to talk about creating supportive environments and following your dreams. Is it gonna get ~woo woo~? Probably. But do some of you need it? Also probably.

I don’t often get personal on the ~internet~, but in order to talk about today’s topic, there are a few things that you’ll need to know about my life and where I grew up.

Email Marketing 101: Master the Basics

,

When it comes to succeeding with your email marketing, there’s a lot of conflicting advice out there.

Should you have a million automations? Are you even successful if your list doesn’t have a million people? Shouldn’t you be making hundreds of thousands of dollars with every email you send?

It makes it incredibly hard for businesses to measure success or have any idea if they’re doing well.

The power of the first step

,

We don't talk about first steps enough.

Recently, this topic has entered my mind a few times. A few of my closest friends are experiencing parenthood for the first time and babies' first steps are one of the most celebrated moments in their entire development.

It's Instagram-multiple-post-worthy for parents. It's a HUGE deal.

How to Implement Deliberate Practice as A Copywriter

When it comes to any type of career, especially creative careers, it can be hard to measure when your skills are growing. In some careers, it's clear as day, but in others, it can be vague at best to figure out your skillset.

Deliberate practice is essentially both purposeful and systematic. It's deeper than simply just practicing your craft, it's the focused effort that results in getting better.

If you've been following my content, you know I love Cal Newport. His books and blogs explained a lot of theories I had rattling in my mind but couldn't put words to. His book, So Good They Can't Ignore You, focused on a lot of topics, but one of the key parts was around this idea of deliberate practice.

All the To-Do's to Get Ahead in August

Summer is glorious. Sure, it can be a little hot (hellooooooo 100 degree days in Denver), but there's something so nice about the potential that summer brings.

If you work in almost any traditional niche, summer - and particularly August - are slow months. Of course, most people aren’t traveling right now, but it’s still just a slower traditional work month.

If you have a client from Italy, you won't hear from them for half the summer at least. (Get on board, America, please.)

How to Cure Yourself from Fuckarounditis and Finally Get Things Done

While fuckarounditis has been a well-known disease in the fitness industry for a long time, there is no doubt it bleeds into every other creative or entrepreneurial endeavor as well.

For years (and still on and off to this day), I break out with fuckarounditis.

How to Prepare Your Copywriting for Black Friday Sales

,

If you live outside the U.S., you’ve probably only heard rumors about the insanity that is Black Friday. Or maybe you saw a terrifying clip on YouTube of people strangling each other over a flat-screen tv. Basically, Americans are great at turning every major holiday into some kind of competitive sporting event.

Fights in Best Buy aside, I’d rather turn your attention to one simple fact: people want to buy stuff during the holiday season.

Should Freelancers Charge Fixed Price Services or an Hourly Rate?

, ,

Recently, I bought a microphone so my YouTube videos can sound less like I’m trapped in someone’s dark, bone-chilling basement.

Months ago, I was excited about using it. It took over two weeks to get here and once it did I went through the entire process of setting it up only to realize it needs a power source and an extra cord.
