Hi there! It sounds like creating a few spec pieces to supplement your portfolio and showcase your diverse skills, beyond what you do with your current employer, would be a great idea.

In my freelance, I have only content material and no copy.

In my current position, I have lots of copy samples, but I don’t want to have all samples from only, the company. My question is, should I make spec samples first before pitching or use the ones from my current position?

I want WordPress because I use that in my first business. In any case, my official launch date and planting my stake in the ground is January of 2022. However, I pitched and received a three-month gig doing product descriptions and more in my favorite niche in the meantime. So I guess I’ve already started but will go full throttle in January of 2022.

I am hoping before then, I’m half way through the modules and had to put my regular job on pause to care for my mother. I believe if I work hard and don’t let resistance get to me I can make that work.

I know I can do this!

Thank you for the wonderful information Nicki ?

Hi Suzy,

Good for you! The hardest part is sending the first one, I promise. After that, you’ll see that—surprise!—it’s not so bad after all; it’s just an email. 🙂

Thanks for commenting!
Nicki

My deadline to pitch is October 19. Since I never will be 100% ready I am taking the advice of just putting myself out there and asking for the work. Makes it sound a little like dating.

If I ever want to get this career off the ground I guess I better take some real world action.

Thank you,
Suzy

Hi Rebecca,

You’re so welcome! And I’m glad you took so much away from it. 🙂 Good for you for picking a date – I can’t wait to hear about how it goes!

Thanks for commenting!
Nicki

It is something I have been wondering. I loved it all, but three parts really stuck out to me!
1. You have to take action whether you feel like it or not! I really needed to hear this right now. I have done better the past couple days, but before that I was stuck. I was dealing with anxiety because of other issues in my life right now. I am slowly working through them and things are looking up. Diving back into the course has helped a lot.
2. Although ideal, you don’t HAVE to have your site live to starting pitching to clients. Right now I am working on the “pay for CCA” quickly strategy.
3. I LOVE “start training yourself to have a bias toward action” because that will build the consistency I need right now!

My last final thought….like Kyra, I am setting a deadline to start pitching clients by November 1.

Thank you so much!
