Why You Should Connect With Past Copywriting Clients

By Nicki Krawczyk 2 Comments

Woman sits in front of a couch, where a dog sits with reindeer antlers, writing on a piece of paper while the coffee table in front of her is strewn with ribbon, gifts, and a glass of sparkling wine.

As you start putting together your copywriting business/career plans and goals for next year, this is also a great time of year for looking backward just a bit. You need to reach out to past copywriting clients. While, yes, it’s important to find and land new clients (and you’ll do plenty of that in the new year), it’s even easier to get more work from previous … [Read more...]

Keep This in Mind for Your Copywriting Business Name

By Nicki Krawczyk 28 Comments

One of the first things that trip up new copywriters as they’re getting started is naming their business. “How do I name my copywriting business? Should I use my name? Should I get a logo? Do I need to do a trademark search?” Let me make something very clear from the beginning: You do NOT need to name your business. I never have and many copywriters don’t. I, myself, write … [Read more...]

By Nicki Krawczyk 2 Comments

A close up photo of an app library on a cell phone or tablet. The apps that are centered are Instagram, Ads, and Facebook.

First, let me start by saying that you DO NOT have to invest in Facebook ads to build your business. If they don’t interest you at all, you’re off the hook. On the other hand, if they’re something that intrigue you, there are a few things you should know… The thing is, Facebook ads are really incredible in a lot of different ways.

Marketing Trends for Freelancers and Contractors in 2019

By Nicki Krawczyk Leave a Comment

A pie chart is pictured displaying the answers to the question "What's your biggest challenge when it comes to marketing your business or services?" The answer "not enough time" fills the majority of the pie chart.

Recently, Venngage (an infographic design company) released a report about how freelancers and contractor spend their energy (and money!) to market their services.

Man with glasses and beard holds a lime green sticky note in front of his face that says "new clients" in all capital block letters.

Looking for copywriting clients is a big part of your job. (At least initially; eventually referrals will make everything much easier.)

But it’s much more likely that that method will be … [Read more...]

Interact quiz software

In an ideal world, a client who needed copy would magically find your portfolio site, instantly know you’re the right copywriter for him, and immediately hire you for his many, lucrative projects. <sigh> In the real world, it’s a little less simple.
