A popular question I get from new freelancers and copywriters is: “How do you find copywriting clients?” This is a HUGE question but a very important one. I mean, getting freelance copywriting clients isn’t complicated…but if you are a brand new copywriter or freelancer, this can be a major roadblock, stopping you from ever trying.

I’ve had some rather interesting (ahem) copywriting enquiries over the years; the best being from someone whose new business idea involved inviting people to live in trees on a South Pacific island and not use any money. He instructed me to be as creative as I wanted and to “invert your thought plate.” Reader, we didn’t go any further but that is my all-time favourite client line.

Understanding Onsite Vs. Offsite SEO Did you know that more than 90% of websites on the internet don’t receive any organic search traffic from Google? This is because less than 1% of searchers look beyond the first page of results. Statistics like these show why search engine optimization is so important for any business. Without implementing a strong SEO plan, business owners cannot rise to the top of Google’s search engine results pages.

When Amanda first told me she wanted to write a book about the “emotional prosperity gospel,” I couldn’t say YES fast enough! Many Christians deny the prosperity gospel—the idea that God wants you to be healthy and wealthy— but embrace its more subtle spin-off, the emotional prosperity gospel, the belief that happiness and spiritual euphoria will follow if you believe the right things and make the right choices.

By now, pretty much every writer and copywriter on the planet will have used a tool like ChatGPT as a writing assistant. Some writers use AI just to help outline their work. Others use it to complete full drafts. Other tasks that are really well suited to AI include things like brainstorming and market research. This takes us beyond just the task of writing, and can help us learn more about the products and services we’re writing about.

We use words that begin with the prefixes dis and un every day: Perhaps you’ve told someone you’re dis appointed or un convinced or that your new shoes are un comfortable. How do these letters change the meaning of a word? To begin with, there are slight differences between the prefixes dis and un : Dis means “ not” or “the opposite of” and is sometimes attached to the beginning of verbs to indicate the undoing of an action.

And we need to know as much about “leaving things out” of our stories as we do about the things we love to add. Why elision? Because the emotional connection that’s made between the writer and reader is strengthened by what the reader brings to the story—their experiences, dreams, hopes, and longings.
