By Kate Sitarz 2 Comments

A Pomodoro timer sits on a notebook with a pen nearby and a person's hand in the background.

In my copywriting career, I have a few challenges you may be able to relate to. I have an active family (four kids!), a spouse who travels for work (gone for two overnights as I write this!), and an anxiety disorder (always unpredictable!). In short, I often feel overwhelmed and under-motivated. And yet, I have to be productive when I’m unmotivated, or else I won’t have a … [Read more...]

In today's office, particularly if you're combatting work-from-home distractions, there is a lot that is vying for our attention. There are tons of work to-dos coming in throughout the day: pings on Slack and other messaging apps, dings of a new email, and rings of the phone, whether for a client call ... or your best friend wanting to catch up for an hour. How do you not … [Read more...]

Daily Habits of the Most Successful Writers & Creatives

By Kate Sitarz 2 Comments

Woman walking in front of a white wall.

Some of the smartest minds past and present have had set routines. Some of them had morning routines, some had evening routines, and some had both (depending on when they were most productive). That's because the best routines help us get focused. And for writers, including copywriters, having a ritual before you sit down to work can get you in the mindset to write. … [Read more...]

By Nicki Krawczyk 4 Comments

How to make the new year amazing for your copywriting business

Okay, let’s face it: It’s not going to be hard to beat 2020. Even if you were lucky enough to avoid the illness and catastrophe that some people faced (and even if, like many of our students, you actually made a lot of progress on making your dreams come true)…2020 was still a rough one. Globally, I think, we’re all tentatively optimistic that 2021 will turn things back … [Read more...]

Why Copywriters Need to Think Visually (and How to Do It)

Copywriters aren’t designers. But when it comes to concepting ideas, you do need to come prepared with ideas for the project.

By Nicki Krawczyk 20 Comments
