Copywriting FAQs

Loads of stuff. We write web pages. Blog posts. Articles. Product Descriptions. Case Studies. Slogans. Straplines. Brochures. Flyers. And loads of other stuff too.

But most importantly, we make your business sounds awesome, so you stand out against the competition.

Honestly, it depends. There’s no industry standard, pricing is pretty much dependant on the individual writer.

Most writers price on what they feel their experience is worth, as well as the ROI you’ll achieve once the copy is up and working hard.

Nope!

I’m happy to speak to you via email, phone, WhatsApp, Zoom, or Teams video call.

I’m a Liverpool copywriter, so if you’re local, like on Merseyside, Wirral, in Manchester or around the North West, it’s easy to visit your premises or meet for a chat.

I can travel anywhere, though, whether in the UK or abroad.

All site visits usually require travelling expenses unless you’re within walking distance (which has happened a couple of times).

In the first instance, send me an email or give me a call. Once I know what you need, and you’re happy with the price, I’ll send you a project planner to complete.

This helps me get to the core of what you’re looking for.

And, when completed, just email it me back and we’ll be raring to go!

Yes.

On most projects, I request 50% payment up front. This is standard practice for most freelancers. Well, every freelancer, really.

This is due *before* work begins.

However, I do understand the worry and risk involved, which is why I send a ‘Contract of Work’ with every project. This covers us both, so you get the work you’re paying for, and it ensures I get payment in full once the project is signed off.

On larger projects, I may request 50% upfront, 25% after the delivery of the first draft and the final 25% upon sign off.

More often than not, I will, once I know what’s involved, the complexity involved etc.

You may have a deadline, however, which I will always take into account and feedback to you if this is viable.

Yes.

However, be aware I will charge a ‘quick-turnaround’ fee.

What I would say is, me writing something in a day won’t be my best work. Good copy comes when it is allowed to sit.

24-hour turnarounds are possible, I’ll write as best I can, but nothing good ever came out of rushing, so be aware of this when you need copy.

Make sure you don’t leave it until the last minute.

As a Word or Google document.

No.

Although I understand how difficult it is to choose a copywriter, I don’t write for free.

Some businesses ask multiple writers to write a sample, don’t choose them for the job and use their sample anyway – which is theft.

My samples are my website and my Portfolio.

If you need me to write a sample before picking me, I will need to charge for this.

After all, a decorator doesn’t paint a wall for free before being chosen.

I am!

I’m insured up to £1,000,000 with PolicyBee.

Don’t panic.

If you’re unhappy with the 1st draft, or it’s not spot on – that’s normal.

1st drafts are a template for what I feel is right and what I have read in your brief. You get two rounds of amendments with every piece of copy, which means whether it needs a few tweaks or a complete rewrite, there’s still time to get it right.

Once you’ve signed off the copy, I’ll send you an invoice which is payable within 10-days of sign off.

Some businesses, mostly larger ones, have set payment terms due to the way their account department works. I’m happy to work to your payment terms, within reason.

As a freelance copywriter, I live hand-to-mouth some months, so payment is life-saving for me at times.

Each invoice has a payment date on it, and I request you stick to it at all times.

However, I know this isn’t always possible, or you might forget.

Usually, as long as you let me know and pay it within 7-days of the original due date, I’ll understand.

However, if you still haven’t paid within 7 days of the original date, I will have to add an 5% late-payment charge onto the invoice (this is outlined in the contract you receive at the start).

This is yet to happen with a client, although it’s come close a couple of times.
