Copywriting’s a tough gig. I know, I’ve been doing it since 2002
And it’s especially tough if you’re a freelancer. Managing clients, juggling projects, wrangling your IT, setting up tools and processes to help you work efficiently, overcoming procrastination, dealing with isolation and self-doubt, marketing yourself, invoicing, chasing payment…
It’s all stuff you have to do, day-in and day-out, when you’re a freelance copywriter. And none of it’s what you signed up for. Right?
Trust me, I struggled with the very same things. But after a decade or so, I got the hang of it. Got really good at it, actually.
But now, looking back, I wish I’d had someone to help me. Sure, I had a pseudo-biz coach (my father-in-law). But he’d run big businesses, so his perspective was really different. And he’s also a bit old-school. (Shhh.)
What I really could have used was someone who knew exactly what I was going through:
- Why I had to work through part of my wife’s first labour
- Why it was gut-wrenching when a client didn’t like my writing
- Why every new job was terrifying
- Why marketing myself felt like bragging
- Why I felt like apologising every time I sent an invoice or raised my prices
- Why every so-called small-business tool cost just a little too much, and did only part of what I wanted it to do
Even if it was just a phone call, every couple of months.
No cigar. Unfortunately I had no help with any of this, and I paid the price for many years. But you don’t have to…

“Whenever Glenn critiques my copy, he’s extremely thorough. He leaves no stone (word/comma/exclamation mark) unturned. While this might seem a bit daunting at first, it’s actually the best! Glenn shows me exactly how my copy can be improved and why. And he’s a really nice human, so even when your copy sucks, you’ll still feel good about yourself. Glenn helps me get better at writing… which is a win for my clients. But he also knows loads about business processes and tools… which is a win for me. I learn something new every time we chat.
