Water - My latest secret weapon

I know, I know…I sort of disappeared there for about three months. The reasons are varied, some good, some not so good…a little fun, a little not so fun. But if there’s one thing I’ve been it’s busy. And in penance for going silent, I’m going to reveal what’s kept me busy.

When I first moved back to Birmingham, I’d signed up with all of the job search sites, thinking I’d find a “real” job soon and get back to the 8-to-5 grind. And even though freelancing kicked that plan to the curb, I kept receiving the prompts for jobs I’d signed up for. Part of me thought that maybe something would come along that would entice me back to regular employment.

Then, one morning a few months ago, it dawned on me: these people are looking for copywriter.

They know what a copywriter is. They understand the value a copywriter provides. they’re looking for good copy!

So, rather than deleting the emails, I picked up the phone…and got three gigs in seven calls! the first thing that happened was I felt a little sick over the 100+ weeks of qualified leads I’d just been deleting without even a thought.

Then I sat down and got to work…because I had new clients to impress.
