Your copywriting FAQ answered
It’s good to ask questions when you’re hiring a freelance copywriter
1
What exactly does a copywriter do?
A copywriter helps you find meaningful words to motivate and inspire your customers so you can build relationships and help them make good decisions. A good copywriter can trigger any emotion, generate any thought and prompt any action. If you’re serious about growing your business, a good copywriter will help.

What benefits can I expect from working with a copywriter?
A copywriter ensures your copy is clear, succinct and easy to read in a voice that fits your brand. We write to fulfil an objective (not just fill a space). This might be to build authority and trust, or encourage readers to join, book, sign up, donate or buy. Hire a freelance copywriter and you gain a valuable team member who fills an important skills gap in your business. They lift a weight from your shoulders and allow you to get back to what you do best.

Will I need to pay upfront?
To fix your project in my schedule, I ask you for a 50% commencement fee. The balance of payment is requested after your first draft has been sent. For projects less than $1000, I ask for 100% upfront before work can begin.
4
Do you offer discounts for product bundles or retainer agreements?
Yes, happy to discuss discounts in certain cases. Let’s chat!
5
Do you offer other creative services?
I work with a host of other experts (think digital marketers, web developers, graphic designers, social media managers, photographers and more). If you need good people, take a look at my Resources page or contact me and I’ll hook you up.

How soon can we get started?
I’m usually booked up a few weeks in advance so it’s a good idea to get in early. Depending on my schedule and your project’s scope, you may be able to jump the queue but there are no guarantees.
