I believe this is Resistance talking, because there’s always someway to improve, right? Just a matter of finding a gap I can fill.

my fear for not pitching has to be about ‘not knowing what I don’t know’ and coming across as a fake!!

Hi Renee,

It’s really easy to assume that we know what’s going on inside of a business based on what’s going on inside of our own lives – but businesses don’t operate like people! While many people are hunkering down and trying to spend as little as possible, businesses are always spending and now they’re especially focusing that spending on areas that directly increase their revenue. (Like, oh, you know, copywriting. 🙂 )

Thanks for commenting!

But maybe the companies are brainstorming ways to expand their online presence! How will I know if I don’t pitch? Thanks for the motivation!

Hi Kelvin,

You should absolutely follow-up — people are busy and their inboxes are full so you can’t assume that not hearing from them means they don’t want to work with you. Just be sure to include value in each email you send to them!

I encourage students to send out at least 5 pitch emails per day (not including) follow ups. But make sure that they’re not truly “cold” emails—that they include your enthusiasm about the company, your ideas to benefit their company, and your USP. 🙂

And how many cold email should a new beginner be sending daily in order to get attention from the potential clients

Hi Jennifer,

Well, you definitely do need a website and some samples on that website…but that’s great because you know what your next steps are to make yourself more marketable! 🙂 And guest posts are only valuable if you want to be focused on content writing. (Which is find, but content is more of a “churn and burn” industry.) If you want to sell your copywriting services, you need to demonstrate how good you are at copywriting. Does that make sense?

Hi Laura,

Yes! They can *look* like they have it all together—and maybe they even do! That doesn’t mean that they don’t have plenty of projects they need you for. 🙂
