Is money something you’re after when it comes to your copywriting? It’s pretty simple, but a surprising number of copywriters (myself included) don’t have it: a written agreement. Has a copywriting “opportunity” ever backfired on you unexpectedly? Of course it is. You get a contact who wants to invest in your business.

I’ve been a small business owner since 2006, and in my experience, the key to riding out the peaks and valleys is playing both the long game and the short game. Which is pretty liberating!

Today’s post is a killer, and it comes to us from none other than Dean Rieck , a copywriter I respect for his straightforward attitude and damned smart advice. A couple of recent conversations got me thinking about setting fees for copywriters. Many copywriters misunderstand the project fee. Working for $5?

Written by Agent X - 25 Comments When I get an email from pro copywriter Dean Rieck , I’m always happy. One of the worst mistakes copywriters make is to assume their job is about writing. After all, the word “writing” is in the word “copywriting.” But writing and copywriting are two very different things.

On his blog there is a post where, in the in the P.S. he says: “In fact, one of the greatest email copywriters of all times, Ben Settle, says he has listened to this series at least two dozen times… and counting.” Same with Ken McCarthy’s copywriting course.

Real life story about that: I learned this lesson the hard way in 2006. It was for a course for freelance copywriters. All you do is build entitlement, get zero consumption of whatever it is you are generously giving away to play Mr. Nice Guy, and, eventually, earning lots of resentment when you DO finally sell something.
