Riding the rollercoaster of freelance life - Graeme Piper, Drop Cap Copy

My guest in this episode is Graeme Piper, owner of Drop Cap Copy. He’s a freelance copywriter from South Devon, creating effective B2B and B2C copywriting that’s written for people, not personas. Graeme keeps his business purposely small and works alongside a bunch of super-talented creative agencies and lots of amazing SMEs to write copy that engages, informs, and (often) entertains for websites, blogs, brochures, and general offline and online marketing. His aim is to keep the copy simple, conversational, and natural. So simplifying the complex, kicking out the jargon, and making it easy to read. We're chatting about getting started as a freelancer, not freaking out with the rollercoaster of self-employment (due to too much or too little work), staying a company of one and celebrating the wins (however big or small). ......
