Lessons from Nicki's new freelance client (Episode 251)

Lessons from Nicki's new freelance client (Episode 251)

You may have heard me say that I only verrrrrry occasionally take on freelance clients.


(Supporting students in the Comprehensive Copywriting Academy is my #1 job!)


So, when I tell you this one was too good to pass up you know it’s goooood.

On this episode of the Build Your Copywriting Business podcast, I’m telling you all about it.

And I’ll be honest: even after 20+ years in copywriting, I still felt those new-client nerves creep in.

New people (including working with an on-staff copywriter!), new systems, new brand voice…the nerves are natural.


That’s why I wanted to take you behind-the-scenes. From copy test (YUP!) to onboarding to the little ways I make sure I’m showing up at my best, I’m sharing it all.


If you’re on the path to landing your first client or you’ve just landed your so-many-clients-you’ve-lost-count client, I think you’ll find this one especially valuable.
