Creativity vs. Consumption: Are You Overdue for an Unplug? (Episode 253)

Creativity vs. Consumption: Are You Overdue for an Unplug? (Episode 253)

OK, if you’re honest with me, I’ll be honest with you:


How many podcasts, emails, newsletters, trainings, etc.etc.etc. are on your “to listen/watch/read” list?


Last I checked, I had 103 podcast episodes downloaded.


Kate told me her Goodreads “want to read” list currently sits at 398 books.


Will I listen to some of those podcasts? Absolutely. Will Kate read many of those books? 100%.


But there’s always going to be more.


Don’t get me wrong, consuming information is necessary!


But at a certain point all that consumption can start to feel like just another task you can check off your list.


It feels productive.


And sometimes it is. And sometimes you space out after listening to the same 30 seconds of the podcast 3x over and realize you “listened” to it … but you didn’t do anything with it.


Heck, sometimes I don’t even remember what I just heard.


So, Kate and I decided to share our best tips for unplugging on this week’s episode of the Build Your Copywriting Business podcast.

Why?


Well, sometimes the best thing you can do for your business isn’t reading another marketing or copywriting tip.


It’s not downloading another guide.


It’s not listening to podcasts (I know, shooting ourselves in the foot a little there …)


Sometimes the best thing is turning it all off for a bit and letting your brain breathe.

Now excuse me while I go stare out a window for 10 minutes. 😉

4 of the Highest Paying Copywriting Niches (Episode 130)

4 of the Highest Paying Copywriting Niches (Episode 130)

As you know, we do not recommend choosing a copywriting niche when you’re just starting out as a copywriter. That advice still applies. There are high-paying copywriting clients across any and every industry. That said, there are four industries that tend to have clients willing to pay more—and higher paying projects—than other industries. (Emphasis on tend.) You may incorporate these industries on your pitch list, but we’d recommend not limiting yourself to any single industry—or judging any single industry based on one client or one experience. Listen in to hear what these industries are and what you need to know about each of them. --------------- Mentioned on this Episode: Your Unique Selling Point: Set Yourself Apart from the Competition --------------- Get Free Copywriting Training here
