Rob Marsh:<\/b> What\u2019s the best adjective to describe a hardworking, client-pleasing, financially successful copywriter? How about feisty? This is The Copywriter Club Podcast<\/i>.<\/p>\n

When it comes to freelancing, this is no one right way to do things. There are thousands of niches to serve. Millions of clients with millions of needs. There are hundreds of ways to find those clients and thousands more ways to solve their problems. But every writer who owns their own business has lots of things in common with others doing the same thing.<\/p>\n

And if you try to describe them\u2026 especially those freelancers who are actually finding clients, doing good work, and earning enough to make a living, well one word that comes to mind is feisty.<\/p>\n

The feisty freelancer brings energy to their work. They\u2019re not afraid to stand up for themselves or the clients they\u2019re writing for. And they even might be a little playful. The Feisty Freelancer is also the name of a new book written by content writer and former Think Tank member, Suzanne Bowness. Sue\u2019s book is a primer for freelancers of all kinds\u2014not just writers\u2014who want to do more than struggle for scraps. The feisty freelancer has what it takes to succeed.<\/p>\n

This is Sue\u2019s second appearance on the podcast. The first one happened almost three years ago. It\u2019s episode #319 if you want to check it out. Given Sue\u2019s expertise as a freelancer, it\u2019s probably not a coincidence that some of the ideas we talked about then made it into the book. But it\u2019s been a while since we had that discussion, so I took the opportunity to ask Sue about the topics she covers in her book. Things like pitching, working with corporate clients, marketing a writing business, strategies for being productive and getting things done. We even talked about whether freelancing is something people should be considering at all today. I think you\u2019ll like what she had to share.<\/p>\n

Before we get to my interview with Sue, this episode is brought to you by The Copywriter Underground.<\/i> The Underground includes monthly coaching and expert workshops, an accountability group to keep you moving toward your goals, and more than 70 different workshops\u00a0 <\/span>to help you gain the skills and strategies you need to build your business. Recently I asked a new member why she joined the Underground and she said she did it for the copy reviews. She wanted feedback on her work to help her improve her writing. And where many writing coaches charge as much as $1500 to look at a single sales page, you can get unlimited reviews in The Underground for less than $90 a month. Honestly this just might be the best value in the copywriting world. You can learn more by visiting thecopywriterclub.com\/tcu-2.<\/p>\n

And now, my interview with Sue Bowness\u2026<\/p>\n
