Home page copy, about us pages, service and contact pages are the core pages of a website, but there’s an often forgotten piece of web copy that every single business needs, and one that you, as a copywriter, should always upsell.
Upselling this page shows your clients that you understand the value of both user experience and the power this page plays in SEO.

One of the coolest things about being a copywriter is that every business of every kind relies on copywriting or content writing in some form.
That can, however, be a double-edged sword. One one hand, you can always find work. On the other hand, sometimes you have so much work that you don’t have time for other tasks. And time, as we all know, is your most valuable resource.
There are so many things I don’t have time to do, or can’t do, and just don’t have the time to learn.
Enter: service swaps.

Ever wonder why some copywriters, regardless of experience, keep getting client after client and charging whatever they want to–even beginner copywriters with a minimal client list?
Sure, their copy is great. That’s always the number one factor in landing copywriting clients. But what makes one great copywriter stand out over the other?
It’s simple, and there’s actually science behind it.

Effective copywriting goes FAR beyond resonating statements and doing deep, deep, deep on pain points.
As they say, the difference hides in the details.
And in copywriting, the details are in your microcopy.

As an agency owner, I’m not worried about AI copywriting.
At all.
And if you’re a good copywriter, you shouldn't be, either.
Businesses using them on the other hand?
Well…it could go one of two ways.

Ok, so I’m gonna divert from the common push from some copywriting coaches that enthusiastically tell you that the only things you need to get started as a copywriter are your laptop and an internet connection.
Because it just simply isn’t true.
That’s like saying the only thing you need to get started as a baker is a whisk and an oven.
Sure, you need a computer and the internet to start a copywriting business, but they’re not the only things you need. Not if you want to be successful.
If you want to start a career as a copywriter––and you want that career to be sustainable and actually allow you to make enough money to live on, there are several tools and resources you need to invest in.
So, beyond the laptop and wifi, let’s talk about the one of the most important things that you need to get started as a copywriter: project management tools.
