How to Find High-Paying Work as a Freelance Copywriter with Aly Goulet

If you're working as a freelance writer and want to earn a full-time wage, I recommend copywriting. Copywriting is essentially writing words that sell products and services. It's a great discipline to help you figure out how to condense your ideas into articles, e-mails, and stories that you will publish online. In this episode of the podcast, I chat with Aly Goulet. She specializes in the B2B and SaaS industries. She talks about the importance of side projects and how and why she is building a WordPress app. This project might seem like it's got nothing to do with copywriting, but Aly explains how she will use it to help develop her copywriting business.In this episode, we discuss:How to start a career as a freelance writer with no experienceHow to find your first client as a copywriterSetting your hourly rateIs it ever ok to write for free?Tips for copywriters to increase their ratesWhat makes good email copyGetting started with an email campaign Sending cold pitches to clientsResources:Everybody Writes by Ann Handley.David OgilvyBreakthrough Advertising by Eugene SchwartzProbloggerUpworkThe Copywriter ClubCopy on CueFreelancingflowSupport the showIf you enjoyed the show please leave a review on Apple.
