[@rogerm7980]

I'm starting my copywriting website thanks to your inspiration! The daunting part is going to be getting in touch with clients. Very nervous lol. I want to be professional as possible. So my question is, if a client is interested in my service after they've reviewed my website, what is the best way to handle the transaction? Should I draw up a formal contract/agreement to be signed? How do you handle payment? Through PayPal? Do you have a refund policy? Just trying to wrap my brain with all the tasks that goes into being an entrepreneur.

[@christheghostwriter]

I work as a freelance writer. I have a Paypal business account and I invoice my clients through that platform. I generally schedule a phone call or meeting with a client to get the ball rolling, and the follow-up via email as a project moves forward. I almost always charge by the project: I estimate the number of hours I will put into a project and multiply that number by my hourly rate (I don't typically discuss that hourly rate with clients; that is just for my own calculations). I often invoice for a deposit and then invoice for the balance when the project is complete and approved. I don't know how other writers do it (although I am visiting this channel to broaden my horizons a bit and learn more about what works for other writers), but this system works well for me.

[@rogerm7980]

@@christheghostwriter Thanks for the response! Do you typically ever draw up a formal contract as well or have a refund policy?

[@christheghostwriter]

@@rogerm7980 it varies. I include a satisfaction guarantee in the invoice: if a client is unhappy with the work and I cannot resolve the situation to their satisfaction, I will refund the deposit and then move on to other clients. That happens maybe once or twice a year at most. For some clients I draw up a contract if there are variable deliverables over time, if the work has multiple sub-projects, or there are other factors that make it necessary. I generally use boilerplate contracts that can be found online for free and modify them as needed. I'd estimate that 2/3 of my clients are invoiced per project with no contract. The PayPal business account platform has invoicing functions, revenue report functions and sales insights, etc., that are built in and make that side of it pretty streamlined

[@christheghostwriter]

@@rogerm7980 you're welcome to email me: [e-mail] and I'll send you a sample invoice so you can see what it looks like . Put your screen name in the subject line so I know it's you and I'll do a quick mockup invoice for you

#1 is where my major problem crops up. I worked as an editor of a newsletter for 10 years, but all the people that could be a great reference for me died at a meeting for the company in Tower 1 of the World Trade Center, except one, and she left town. I'm not sure if she's all right with being a reference now. I would need to write her and ask. A consistent work history has always been an issue with me. I'm not part of the Kennedy family; there have been times when for serious reasons, I was unemployed. * I refuse to call it "not gainfully employed.l" I think all employment is gainful.

The Copy Posse program looks amazing but it’s over $2000. I’m sure it’s worth every penny with the information included and the education on Copywriting. However, I do feel that at a lower price point there would be less hesitations due to cost up front and more clicks to sign up. Just some food for thought.

Recently, an acquaintance recommended this food truck that makes really nice burgers. I went there to check it out and he was right, the burgers were fantastic. I found out the owner is a chef and that he's got a story to tell. I checked out their social media and found that they only have photos of their food. I told him that I would like to see if I can help them out and he agreed so I'm going to meet with him and his business partner to see how I can do that. Of course I'm not charging them as this is part of building my portfolio. I'm going to do what Alex recommended which is do some copywrite and content at the beginning. I do have a DSLR and drone (that I haven't used for a while). I can edit photos and videos as well but I'm not planning to be a one man army. I just need to do what I can in the beginning to launch and build a business.
