That advice still applies as there are high-paying copywriting clients across any and every industry.⁠⁠That said, there are four industries that tend to have clients willing to pay more—and have higher-paying projects—than other industries (emphasis on tend).

Editing? Content? Sure, I could do it, but it would take away from my area of expertise, so I don't. It was scary at first to turn down potential work, but I'm so much happier doing what I love instead!" Stuart: "I don't negotiate on price anymore. Scope? Sure. Let me see how we can get similar results at a price you're happy with. And if they don't want to shift on price or scope, I have a great network of writers I can refer to." Stacy: "Better expectation management with retainer clients has been a game-changer. While it's important to deal with their work quickly, I no longer allow same-day requests for deliverables or meetings. It's helped my stress levels tremendously." Amy: "My newest boundary is a mindset boundary. I won't second-guess or feel bad about enforcing my big three rules: 1.) No scope creep after proposal acceptance. 2.) No rewrites after final approval. 3.) I charge what I'm worth." 🎉CCA Student Wins Way to go, Tori!  [See more student wins »]( Thanks for being part of the community!  The Filthy Rich Writer Team Follow us for more free tips, tools, and tactics!
