My last email raised the idea that Iâve been very âluckyâ in my career. Huuuuge air quotes and sarcasm there. Iâd like to continue my story of luck today. I was lucky to get my first few breaks Many copywriters approach me asking how to start getting clients. This is a challenge every business owner faces. Just because you build it, doesnât mean they will come. My first few copywriting jobs were thanks to some referrals. Just lucky, you say? Well, no. While I worked my day job, I was invited to join the Australian School of Copywritingâs Dream Team of copywriters and got some copywriting leads through the school (as well as some expert mentoring). This wasn't my only source of leads though. I consistently approached printers, graphic designers and website developers and introduced myself. I didnât do a hard sell. I got to know them and some of them sent me some work. Eventually, I decided I needed to commit more if I was going to make my business happen. So I wrote my resignation letter and pitched an idea to my CEO. I could continue writing their marketing as a freelance copywriter saving them a tonne of money over a year, and they wouldnât have to bother finding a replacement. And then I had my first retainer client! The theme to my âlucky breaksâ is putting myself out there. I got involved. I applied myself. I networked. I asked. I accepted the fact that people might say no and did it anyway. So you can switch âluckyâ for âwas prepared to get rejectedâ.
