PROOF! How These 9 Beginner Copywriters Found Their FIRST Client

4 Proven Strategies For Finding Your FIRST Freelance Client
Join The Write & Ignite Challenge ►► academy.alexca...
It’s that all too familiar feeling of anxiety, overwhelm, and panic that all new copywriters feel at the beginning of their freelancing journey…
Wait, how the hell am I actually going to find clients that want to GIVE ME MONEY?
Ring a bell?
If it does - then you’re definitely not the only one!
My DMs and inbox are constantly full of people asking me for tips and advice on finding their first client...
And even though I started my freelance journey over 10 years ago… I can still remember the sense of panic I felt wondering how I would make rent for the month without any income!
But like I said… that was 10 years ago!
So when the global Posse reaches out and asks me for advice…
While I can and will give you the advice I followed for myself… 10 years ago.
I realize that it might not be super relevant to current best practices and techniques.
So I thought…
What if I could give you real-time advice from people who are actually in your shoes, and out there searching, vetting, and landing clients as we speak...
So I turned to my very own rad grads from Season 2 of my LIVE 8-week copywriting coaching program, The Copy Posse Launch Pad.
And in today’s video, I’m going to share 9 personal stories directly from them, so you can hear EXACTLY how they got their very first client…
What I love about this video, is that it’s literal PROOF that there’s not one singular strategy that works when it comes to getting clients…
Something different worked for every single one of these students you're about to meet…
And - newsflash - none of them involve cold outreach!!

[@gisellenakandakari5943]

Thank you for this video, Alex! Though there are several strategies to get a first client, I notice it all comes down to shaking off the fear of putting yourself out there. What’s the worst thing that could happen? Some potential clients might say “no” (and politely, I may add), yet all of them now know you’re ready to offer your copywriting services and can even refer you. Kudos to these students!

[@AlexCattoni]

Definitely!! Stepping outside your comfort zone is crucial no matter what methods you choose!

I like you strategy about following them and subscribing to their list. I'm an ecom email marketer and I do these 2 steps, I've noticed they make a lot of mistakes in their emails and I can definitely help But i Don't know how to approach them, like what do i say? "You email is bad" backfired 😂 So I'm nervous, can you help a little bit Alex?

[@abhaysharma2115]

@@allinsoccer4542 You should learn how to cold email then, and if you don't want to then just hire one. Personally I have learned it and its not too hard.

[@AlexCattoni]

Yeah, I definitely would not suggest telling them their email was bad! Instead lead with value and explain why you love their company, how you can help make their life easier, etc.

[@AlexCattoni]

Of course! These students were all graduates of my 8-week copywriting coaching program ⚡️ During the 8-weeks I teach you everything I know about writing great copy for ads, email sequence, landing pages, and sales pages. I also teach all the necessary "non-copy" information you need to be a successful copywriter - things like proper market research, customer avatar & ideal customer, proven psychological triggers, etc.! By the end of the 8-weeks, you'll have written copy assets for an entire marketing funnel - for you to add to your portfolio 🤩 You can learn more about it here: www.alexcattoni.com/launchfiles/

[@miaxknight]

hello alex! i've stumbled upon your channel recently and got really absorbed into your videos. you're truly unique and incredible!! but i have a question: is your copy posse launch files training course designed for people who want to learn copywriting with the aim of freelancing, or writing copy for their business? it might be a stupid question, but i'm thinking about your course with none of these aims. my aim is to actually get hired by a company who would require a copy/content writer. (although, does that even exist anymore? do all companies just write copy themselves or do they seek copywriters to employ?) it's just that i've noticed your focus is on how to find clients as a freelancer and all that, and i was wondering, if i'm not willing to freelance, is the course even right for me? thank you so much for your time! -m

[@AlexCattoni]

Hey Maria! Great question. :) Launch Files is a course designed for anyone who wants to learn the ins and outs of copywriting! It also outlines how to set up a copywriting business. But this course is absolutely helpful for anyone who wants to work as a copywriter. Be it at an agency, as a freelancer or as a copywriter for another company. Hope this helps! And please feel free to reach out to my team at [e-mail] if you want some more in-depth info on Launch Files!
