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. -- Get the Ultimate Sales Page Kit here. -- Download "THE CIRCA METHOD" and learn my signature method for creating high-powered sales copy: Get it FREE: https://lizslyman.com/circa-method/ CONNECT WITH ME: YOUTUBE: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCpPMFbrK2gUdSmRXqD4Uafw INSTAGRAM @LETSTALKCOPY COPYWRITING COURSES & RESOURCES: LIZSLYMAN.COM
