Aw, thanks!
That baby genius is so nice, "how to start as a copywriter* evokes lots of interests in me , with zero experience.
Friend will u consider my copy writing slogans just for ur examination.
I'm starting my copywriting website thanks to your inspiration! The daunting part is going to be getting in touch with clients. Very nervous lol. I want to be professional as possible. So my question is, if a client is interested in my service after they've reviewed my website, what is the best way to handle the transaction? Should I draw up a formal contract/agreement to be signed? How do you handle payment? Through PayPal? Do you have a refund policy? Just trying to wrap my brain with all the tasks that goes into being an entrepreneur.
I work as a freelance writer. I have a Paypal business account and I invoice my clients through that platform. I generally schedule a phone call or meeting with a client to get the ball rolling, and the follow-up via email as a project moves forward. I almost always charge by the project: I estimate the number of hours I will put into a project and multiply that number by my hourly rate (I don't typically discuss that hourly rate with clients; that is just for my own calculations). I often invoice for a deposit and then invoice for the balance when the project is complete and approved. I don't know how other writers do it (although I am visiting this channel to broaden my horizons a bit and learn more about what works for other writers), but this system works well for me.
@@christheghostwriter Thanks for the response! Do you typically ever draw up a formal contract as well or have a refund policy?
@@rogerm7980 it varies. I include a satisfaction guarantee in the invoice: if a client is unhappy with the work and I cannot resolve the situation to their satisfaction, I will refund the deposit and then move on to other clients. That happens maybe once or twice a year at most. For some clients I draw up a contract if there are variable deliverables over time, if the work has multiple sub-projects, or there are other factors that make it necessary. I generally use boilerplate contracts that can be found online for free and modify them as needed. I'd estimate that 2/3 of my clients are invoiced per project with no contract. The PayPal business account platform has invoicing functions, revenue report functions and sales insights, etc., that are built in and make that side of it pretty streamlined
@@rogerm7980 you're welcome to email me: ghostwriter@writemail.com and I'll send you a sample invoice so you can see what it looks like . Put your screen name in the subject line so I know it's you and I'll do a quick mockup invoice for you
I hope you started two years ago when you commented on this video because today, you would have been a pro if you had. Wish you all the best
Thanks
Thanks.
good music choice
Hey Alex...
I watched one of your video titled "How to write a landing page that converts"
So I just wanted to ask that could you give me another way to differentiate a landing page from a homepage
excellent
You're stunning!
That same Catch 22 exists in everything we do. 😀
Thank you for the video Alex. It is very helpful. Any tips or where I can find a good practical copywriting program? thanks.
Check out my video from today :) czcams.com/video/VlBrBKvCoWo/video.html

#1 is where my major problem crops up. I worked as an editor of a newsletter for 10 years, but all the people that could be a great reference for me died at a meeting for the company in Tower 1 of the World Trade Center, except one, and she left town. I'm not sure if she's all right with being a reference now. I would need to write her and ask.
A consistent work history has always been an issue with me. I'm not part of the Kennedy family; there have been times when for serious reasons, I was unemployed. *
I refuse to call it "not gainfully employed.l" I think all employment is gainful.
Hello Alex. Great content here. I saw in one of your videos (and mentioned here) that you like to use Google Docs, Google Drive, etc as your portfolio. Is there a specific reason for this? Also, how would you suggest setting it up as a catch-all or just as a place to hold specific content to show to individual clients?
i learned photo editing from photoshopbattles
now all these video meme have my attention to join them
i'm a walking breathing meme
Thaaaanks Aleeex I do really need this vid. And I wanna ask ,Is it good that we good at copy but at the same time we do content writing as well? Or we nees to chose one?
You can definitely do both!
Alex, you mention how valuable it is for a copywriter to showcase their tone, writing style, and delivery. You even hired someone with no prior SMM experience because of this. What are some tips you have for enhancing these aspects of my own writing? (Or at least a link to a video on this topic, which you probably have) Thanks! (:
Hmm, I have a video on brand voice but not necessarily "personal branding" - it's a good idea for the future. But honestly just be yourself - allow your personality and sense of humor to shine through. Make you sure you talk about them and why you'd love to work for them, etc.
Hi Alex!! Great video again! What format would you recommend using for the portfolio? Do you think Likedin might work? Maybe Behance? Thanks a lot!
I’m a big fan of simple. Google Drive for me!
I'm good at poetry and literature are these two beneficial skills
clicked so fast :)
haha damn girl! thanks!
Thanks, Alex. Great tips! Hoping to get into copywriting ASAP. Will you offer your Copy Posse Launch over the summer?
Hey Kara! How exciting ⚡️⚡️⚡️ my LIVE coaching program only runs once a year, and it will not open again until January 2023.
However, my 8-week self-study course is always available for you ⚡️ www.copyposse.com/launchfiles
Good to know! Thanks.
Any website or app you recommend to practice? 🙌🏻
I love Hemingway Editor!
Hemingway is awesome, also use Grammarly, practice in Evernote :)
@@boldblushblog Great advice!
I was thinking to start learning copywriting - and look found you , without searching
Hey Laiq! How was the Copywriting journey going so far?
Great with alex
@@Lemeetless That's great! I do copywriting too, and I already used some of her tips. One thing that stuck to me most is saying benefits and not features. What's yours?
It's okay , people always ask "WITF" what's in it for me and she is right.. benefits are attractive
@@Lemeetlessagreed! With copies I made for my clients, I always have to make sure that that's in it
Recently, an acquaintance recommended this food truck that makes really nice burgers. I went there to check it out and he was right, the burgers were fantastic. I found out the owner is a chef and that he's got a story to tell. I checked out their social media and found that they only have photos of their food. I told him that I would like to see if I can help them out and he agreed so I'm going to meet with him and his business partner to see how I can do that.
Of course I'm not charging them as this is part of building my portfolio. I'm going to do what Alex recommended which is do some copywrite and content at the beginning. I do have a DSLR and drone (that I haven't used for a while). I can edit photos and videos as well but I'm not planning to be a one man army. I just need to do what I can in the beginning to launch and build a business.
Amazing!!! Thanks for sharing - good luck :)
Ciao Alex, mille grazie 🙇🏻♂️ for another great video. They are always extremely useful because they are practical (e.g. your videos about pricing. I am in Germany and write copy in German since last summer, but everything is easy for me to transpose to my situation and put things into action!) Both thumbs up 👍🏻👍🏻 from 🐻lin! Thomas SCHATTON (🤔 That's almost like CATTONI...😉😊)
That’s amazing, Thomas!!! Love that you are taking what you learn and applying it in German! Well done! Berlin is my favorite city in the world BTW!!
@@AlexCattoni Cool. Just let me know when you are here again if you like to. I'd be happy to give you a free guided city tour. You have my mail adress, because I am on your mailing list.
Awsome
Great video, but could you make the music a smidge quieter?
Good feedback! Thank you!
Alex, thank you much for the candor. Having been a tech writer in the military, it seems difficult to develop the personalized style required. Do you have any tips for becoming more conversational?
Thanks
Write exactly like how you talk. With “...” and connectors like see....
That’s why....
But...
Well...
Stupid question, but do you have a video or something to show us samples of portfolios? Like, what a portfolio should look like?
Not specifically - but good idea!
Hey Alex! HELP! So I DO have experience: been published several times in magazines and have had several clients, but I had a 6yr hiatus b/c I lived abroad teaching English. BUT i'm back in the game, and I want to IF my "low" pricing is too high, AND if so, HOW can I find clients that are willing to pay and understand the value??????
Nice
good...
Hello, And thank you for great copy writing content. I want to ask you that How do you get your first client?
Through referral. My job experience helped!
Hey I love you and all, but some examples could come very handy if you can upload some. I would love to see you make some copy from scratch. Thanks
I save a lot of that over-the-shoulder stuff for my program, but I can definitely keep that in mind for future videos! Thank you for the feedback!
Your eyes❤️❤️
How do I differentiate between good copywriting and a bad one?
Hi Alex, thanks for this video today! I’m wondering - did you take a course when you were first starting out? Or how did you learn?
Yup! I studied a few courses. But a lot of practice too! Tons of trial and error.
@@AlexCattoni Any link to swipe files please? Thanks
@@JalilHassanVlogs I don't give that my portfolio/swipes to anyone outside my program (NDA), but I will be sure to include more examples in future videos!
@@AlexCattoni sure & thanks 👍
Thanks for the response!
Tips to find sale pages to rewrite pls?
thank you Alex for these information, can you recommend a great copy-writing program for me? I am a beginner
New video coming soon on this topic!
@@AlexCattoni we are waiting
On the topic of using examples of previous works or blogs to present a sample of one's work and style, I'm wondering if a sample section from a forthcoming novel would be appropriate?
sure it would!
Will I be able to enter the copy posse launch pad?
Quite inspiring... I've gotta question... How good can a non native be with this?
A non-native can write copy in their mother tongue! You need to be nearly perfect at English to write copy in it.
What advice would you give to a beginner copywriter?
regards
Thank you Alex, I really like your videos, but unfortunately my English understanding is not so good. If you may, please provide an Indonesian translation.>_
