A Sneak Peek at the Episode

[0:42] Nicki gives an introduction to the episode and explains a little bit about our Laser Coaching Sessions. Please note, you might hear our students talk about some CCA related terms like Pitch-a-Palooza, Write Start, etc., so head to the description below for more context!

[1:58] Joe gives Nicki and Kate a quick rundown of his copywriting career in recent months. He asks for help with the. big picture of his copywriting career and for feedback on his goal of full-time freelance.

[4:40] Kate advises Joe to pick a date to plan around for becoming full-time freelance. She explains that this will make it easier to plan the steps to get there once he has a timeline set for when he would ultimately like to switch to full-time freelance.

[7:32] Nicki reminds Joe not to overcomplicate his plan for going full-time. She points out that the best way to bridge the gap between a full-time job and full-time freelancing is to consistently sending out pitches and follow-ups that will help him gather the necessary clients to support him full-time.

[10:03] Kate explains that Joe should find the line for the amount of work he can take on while also working his full-time job. It’s important not to spread yourself too thin so that you can avoid burnout and enjoy the freedom that copywriting gives you.

[12:15] Nicki leaves Joes with the reminder that it’s impossible to predict exactly what his transition to full-time freelance will look like, but having a plan and savings stored away will help him smoothly move from his full-time job into full-time copywriting.
