    203. Secrets to Smooth Copywriting Client Relations

    We’ve talked a lot about boundaries. You know they’re important … … but how are you with enforcing your boundaries? It’s all too easy to let those boundaries slide.  And the message your sending when you set a boundary, but don’t enforce it, is that none of your boundaries mean anything. Brutal, but true. On this episode of the Build Your Copywriting Business podcast, Nicki and Kate are sharing their best tips—from both the copywriter and client perspective—on how you can more easily set and stick to your boundaries. We all want our clients to like us and respect our work. But respecting us as professionals requires us to enforce those boundaries—even though we’re not raised to advocate for ourselves and say, “No, that’s not okay.” Doing that can make us uncomfortable. But it’s essential to your success—and your sanity. --------------- Mentioned in the Episode Episode 134: Keep Copywriting Fun: 3 Must-Implement Business Boundaries Related Links Setting Boundaries as a CopywriterWhat Are Your Copywriting Business Rules? --------------- Get Free Copywriting Training here

    201. Top Copywriting Myths, Busted - Part II

    Last week, Kate and I busted through some of the most common copywriting myths (if you missed it, you can catch that episode here!)  This week?

(Not to mention save ourselves so much mental, physical, and emotional pain!) On this episode of the Build Your Copywriting Business podcast, Kate and I are shattering seven more copywriting myths.

    199. #1 Thing Getting in Your Way of Copywriting (and Other!) Success

    “Pitching is hard.” “I am scared to meet with clients.” “I can’t become a copywriter.” Do any of these sound familiar? The patterns we create by feeding our brain certain narratives is the ultimate roadblock to our success. It becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy. What we tell ourselves has a huge impact on what we believe—whether we notice these narratives or not. On this episode of the Build Your Copywriting Business podcast, Nicki and Kate are digging into some of the ways they get in their own ways.

    197. 8 Unbreakable Laws of Copywriting

    Copywriting is one of the most flexible careers (You’ve probably heard us say that so many times you’re like, “Nicki and Kate, we know!.”) Just because its flexible does not mean there aren’t certain rules, or laws if you will, that you need to follow. Now, if you break the laws will you get a ticket? Nah. But you may see less work coming in or less repeat work. On this episode of the Build Your Copywriting Business podcast, Nicki and Kate are digging into eight must-upload laws—starting with law #1: ABP.

    196. 5 Email Copywriting Tests to Recommend to Clients (And Get More Work)

    You don’t have a crystal ball to predict the *exact* copy that will resonate with your client’s audience. But, you do have a different tool that can help: A/B testing. A/B copy tests—comparing one element of copy to the same element with different copy—helps you learn what makes your client’s audience tick. (For example, you may have two ideas for a subject line—how do you know which one is better?! Test!) Now, as a copywriter, you don’t need to run these tests. But you can certainly recommend tests to your clients—and provide the copy for them. It’s another way to show you’re a strategic partner (and another way to potentially land some more work with your existing clients!). Listen in to hear five email tests you can recommend to your clients. Nicki and Kate break down what these tests are, how you can pitch them to your clients (very low key!), and what you need to deliver copy-wise to thrill your clients. --------------- Mentioned in the Episode Why I Named My Company Filthy Rich Writer Related Links Top 3 Biggest Email Mistakes Copywriters MakeThe Most Important Piece of Email CopyWhy You Need to A/B TestingWhat’s a Copy Test? --------------- Get Free Copywriting Training here
