Create a copy for potential client for free or ask first if they're interested?
I've been lurking here for a few months now, and I tried a suggestion to get copywriting clients.
I picked a potential customer, studied his product based on his website, social media accts, etc. Then, I created a new sales letter for him. Lastly, I emailed him, introduced myself, and gave him the copy I created for him.
It worked. He messaged me back and asked how we can work together. We're slowly improving his site and I got an initial payment, and more once I land him more clients ($500 course).
Now my question is, is it really a good idea to do what I did? or did I just get lucky?
I want to try it again, but I might need to spend time working on a copy for someone who might not even respond.
I'm thinking of simply giving copy recommendations on my first email. Y'know. few things that they can use right away. This way, I get to provide value, yet I'm not spending too much time. Do you think it can give me a better result?
Please note that I'd love to make money soon as I'm in need. I'm willing to spend more time once I'm in a more pleasant situation.
thanks!
