Pitching is the only way to truly control your copywriting business’ success. But when it comes to sitting down to actually do it, our brains love to come up with all kinds of reasons *not* to hit “send”. “Oh, that company is waaay too big to pitch, they would never need my help!” or, at the other end of the spectrum, “A solopreneur? They'd never be able to afford a … [Read more...]

For most freelancers, not having *enough* work is often the greatest fear. But having too much work? Psshh, there’s no such thing, right?!

Whether you want to work as a copywriter on staff or as a freelancer, it's always worth taking a look at job listings.

By Nicki Krawczyk

Nicki and Kate sit at a table with podcast recording microphones, notebooks, and Filthy Rich Writer mugs, with the words "Build Your Copywriting Business" above them.

As consumers, we are surrounded by discounts tempting us to make all kinds of purchases.

The good news is, there are ways to make yourself more marketable to … [Read more...]

By Nicki Krawczyk

Nicki and Kate sit at a table with podcast recording microphones, notebooks, and Filthy Rich Writer mugs, with the words "Build Your Copywriting Business" above them.

The arrival of a new year often sparks an enthusiasm that makes us set wildly ambitious resolutions. Shed 60 lbs? On it. Become fluent in French? Let’s go. And then would you believe it, a few weeks down the line, you’re done. One of the biggest reasons why resolutions are set up for failure is because we never stop to break it down into smaller steps.
