What are you working on?

Hi copy clan,

In this thread, we share what we're working on right now. Our clients, projects, jobs, anything we deem relevant. Pros, cons, etc.

I'm a novice copywriter. I've been in the game for about one year, and that's including the first few months of writing for content mills, reading marketing books and listening to I Love Marketing all day.

I feel this thread could be a great spot for new (or bored) copywriters to get some visibility on the kind of work there is out there. Maybe something that they never considered putting feelers out for, or something that beginner copywriters can latch onto.

I'll start.

Working a full time-role for a charity organisation right now. It's a 9-to-5, which I know freelancers loathe, but at this point in my career it's perfect. I'm writing eDMs, direct mail letters, website copy, content (not copy, I know), video scripts, and more. Lots of pretty, high-traffic portfolio items (and conversion stats too). Learning from a good team and even getting involved in some concept work / campaign development.

Also freelancing for a media agency based in Sydney. I write their blog posts every month (not copy, I know), and I do a lot of writing for one of their clients in the mortgage niche. Writing tons of landing pages and press releases, and wrote a consumer guide.

        Sorry Chad, they are.

        I will say this... webinars are still in a growth stage, so there's opportunity for copywriters who know how to write them.

          Sounds like it's worth exploring. Got any good resources or surprising insights for webinar-specific writing?

            This presentation.

            The #2 business coach in Action Coach out of 1,000 plus,
            pays for his training.

            The coach has files of winning ads with the numbers behind them,
            so he is a direct response master in his own right.

            I say this to point out the value in this webinar training/presentation.

            Best,
            Doctor E. Vile

                I was invited to a small group which he spoke with
                while he was on holiday at the beginning of this year.

                What you see on stage is what you get in person off stage.

                His clients are business coaches/consultants,
                so he'd have to be able to produce or he'd get found out smartly.

            A couple...

            1. Find a highly successful internet marketer who does webinars, outline his current presentation, and model it.

            2. Buy a course. You should be able to find several to choose from on JVZoo or WarriorPlus.
