The simple math behind $140K per year as a B2B writer

Just a handful of projects adds up FAST. July 11, 2024 [The Writer’ s Life]( "Making money is a hobby that will complement any other hobbies you have, beautifully." — Scott Alexander Hi {NAME}, For most writers, the thought of hitting six figures a year sounds like a HUUUUGE goal. Like climbing Mount Everest. But in reality, it's really not all that crazy of an income goal. It's very reasonable when you're writing for B2B. Let's say you land a client … They need two case studies (you can charge $1,500 for each). So already you're at $3,000 for writing a grand total of four pages of copy that's very formulaic and can be written in a day, maybe two. Next, a very common project in B2B is an email series. Let's say the same client who hired you to write the case studies now needs emails to get prospective clients to read them. They want a five-email series. You can charge $500 per email, for a grand total of $2,500. With just one client for the month, you're at $5,500 (!!). A second client reaches out to you. They need a white paper. You charge $4,500 for it. But, they also need two long articles to help promote it, for which you can charge up to $1,000 each (so $2,000 for both). With this second client, you're now at an additional $6,500 for the month. Add it all up ($5,500 from client one and $6,500 from client two), and you've just made $12,000 in a single month! Do that every month and you're at $144,000 for the year. Now, I know what you're probably thinking … But Rebecca, can I really land these projects consistently? The answer is YES! When clients love your work, they come back again and again. They'll want you for most, if not all, of their writing projects. Because great writers aren't easy to find in the B2B world, which puts you at a huge advantage. And the BEST part is that most of the projects follow proven formulas and templates … So, it's just a matter of learning that and incorporating the details and information your client gives you for each project. This is why I keep saying … B2B is one of the surest paths to a six-figure income as a writer! If you're interested in becoming a thriving freelance B2B writer, [go here](.

[Join Before Midnight]( Why Lead Generation Is Critical for B2B Sales (And How to Get It Right) Every business needs to find an ongoing supply of new prospective customers — also known as leads. A company's eventual goal will be to convert these leads into paying customers as they go through the company's sales process, or sales funnel. But achieving more sales hinges on getting quality leads in the first place. According to eMarketer, "finding new leads" is the No. 1 business challenge for marketing managers. And a vital part of effective lead generation is creating content that's specifically designed to attract and engage new potential customers. Not all writers know how to do this … but writers who understand lead generation are almost guaranteed to have long and successful careers as sought-after B2B copywriters.
