How It Works
What it's like to work with this freelance copywriter.No two writers are the same. Here’s how copywriting works with me.
Every copywriter is different. We all have different levels of experience, styles and ways of working.
So, if you’re looking to work with me, then my 6-step guide below is how I work with clients – follow them, and you’ll be alright in my book.
Step 1.
Get in touch
This one is dead easy. Get in touch by clicking the ‘Let’s chat‘ button or fill in the contact form at the foot of the page.
Step 2.
Have a chinwag and get a quote
Whether organising a phone or video call. Or just shooting the breeze over email, let me know what you need. Ideally, jumping on a discovery call is preferred, but if you’re unable to, email is fine.
Either way, I’ll ask you a bunch of questions to help me get to know you and your business better.
I’ll let you know my availability and give you a quote for the work. For an idea of what I charge check out my Services page (prices may vary depending on project complexity).
Once we agree a fee, it’s time to get started.
Step 3.
Complete a project brief
If you give me five bullet points for a 2000-word article or a 10-page website, it’s gonna be shit.
So, I’ll send you a project brief. Article briefs, for example, are relatively short.
For websites, you receive a Website Content Brief to brain dump everything amazing about your business.
This brief is extensive and you might feel you’re doing a lot of work, but if you’re not excited enough about your business to give me everything I need to write about it, you can’t expect me to get excited about it either.
This is a collaboration.
You’re part of the process – that’s how copywriting works.
And your role is to get everything out of your head, so I can craft something sharp and concise.
Step 4.
Sign a contract and pay a deposit
Once I have everything I need, I’ll ask you to sign a contract of work to make sure we’re both covered legally.
You’ll also need to pay a 50% deposit BEFORE I start writing. This is standard practice for all freelancers – if you’ve worked with a writer before and they never requested one, they really should have.
No deposit, no work.
Step 5.
Complete a project brief
We’re on the same side, so constructive feedback from your is essential. I don’t accept bad attitudes or abuse. Writing content is a process, sometimes I’ll nail it first time, other times not.
First drafts are tricky, so see it as my brain dump and it might need light or major tweaking to get it how you want it. If I get it spot on, great. But don’t be disheartened if not, that’s why I offer up to two rounds of amendments.
It’s a process, and the best results come when we work together.
Step 6.
Feel as chuffed as nuts with the outcome
Once I’ve implemented your amendments and you’re happy with the work, sign off the project and I’ll send you an invoice for the other 50% of the agreed fee.
If we work together again, it’s unlikely I’ll ask for a deposit. I request these when we first work together, once we have a great working relationship I tend to invoice at the end of a project – unless it’s a big one.
