Connect with other freelancers… Message potential clients… Network with business owners in your niche…⁠Add value… Show up on stories… VIS-I-BIL-ITY!​ ⁠​Omg, I get exhausted just thinking about it.​ ​ I mean, don't get me wrong, {NAME}...⁠⁠All of those are amazing ways to find new clients...⁠⁠But you do NOT need to do it all in order to [be successful](=). ​ I was a freelance copywriter for over a decade before starting the Copy Posse… ​ And you may find this surprising, {NAME}... ​ But I NEVER used social media to build my authority, grow my audience or attract clients. ⁠Sure, I had an Instagram account, but I only used it to connect with my family and friends (and post the occasional travel picture 😉).⁠⁠Social media just wasn't how I built my freelancing business (pre-Copy Posse, obvi)... ⁠⁠On the other hand...⁠⁠I loved networking IRL! So naturally, that was my go-to client attraction method...⁠⁠I'd go to conferences, events and meet-ups for marketers and entrepreneurs...⁠⁠And I met SO many clients this way.⁠⁠In fact, I met my first (and best!) clients at a networking event in September 2011… ⁠= ​ We clicked right away and became close friends over the 10 years we worked together – yes, TEN YEARS.⁠⁠We traveled together, celebrated birthdays together and even had a very important business meeting at 30,000 feet in the first-class bar on the Emirates A380 😉 ​ = ​ = ​ ⁠My point is...⁠⁠There will never be ONE perfect strategy for finding clients that works for everybody ALL of the time...⁠⁠Because we're all different!⁠⁠⁠We all have [different personalities](=)...⁠⁠Different strengths...⁠⁠And different preferences.⁠​ And while you will still get the new copywriter jitters when you are first starting out… ​ Sometimes you gotta trust your gut when something doesn’t feel right. ​ For instance, not all of us will thrive in a room of strangers or easily connect with people in real life… ​ Some of us prefer to keep our heads down and get more stealthy in our search for clients… ​ Others might love engaging with potential clients online and through social media... ​ It’s all about knowing your secret strengths (and weaknesses) so you can find clients with more ease and confidence… ​ Regardless of what everyone else is doing… ​ And that’s exactly what I’m going to help you figure out 🦸 ​ {NAME}, my team and I have created a [fun 30-second quiz](=) to help you identify… ​ ⚡Your unique "client attraction style" based on your personality type… ​ ⚡YOUR best way to find clients with more ease and confidence (stop the "spray & pray")… ​ ⚡The #1 freelancer trap stopping you from landing high-quality clients… ​ ⚡PLUS practical tips and a personalized action plan you can implement immediately to find your next client. ​ I can’t wait to hear about your results.

You’re receiving this email because you signed up somewhere on my website and I’m so glad you did. It means you’re one of us – a rad human with a fierce flair for the written word who wants to channel that passion into making a living doing what you love and making a positive impact in the lives of others. If that's you, you’re in the right place. I started the Copy Posse because I believe that the best copywriting today combines timeless direct response marketing principles with modern, empathetic brand storytelling (without all the hype, BS and overused tactics that fizzle fast). We are the new school of copywriters and we aren’t scared to break a few rules and ruffle-up a few feathers if it means changing the face of marketing for the better. Now more than ever before, your message matters and your words can change the world. You have the power to create the life of your dreams, build a lucrative business AND make an impact on humanity with the type of marketing that today’s businesses need and today’s audiences crave. We are on a mission to de-douchify the Internet, redefine modern marketing and build an empathy empire and we're only just getting started. Through my social channels and email community (which you’re now a part of, yay) I share the techniques and strategies I’ve learned over the last 15 years to build a business I freakin' love – and now you can too.
