Pam Foster:
Teaching Web Writers How to Delight Their Clients for Repeat and Referral Business

“The quickest way to grow your copywriting business is to apply your writing and client-service skills to a specific niche market. When you present yourself as the industry-savvy writer for marketers in a particular field — it's much easier for clients to find you online and see you as a valued partner who understands their challenges. This goes a long way in setting yourself apart from the crowded field of 'general' copywriters … and can lead to a steady, satisfying pipeline of work.”

– Pam Foster

Earn $2,500 or more to diagnose a “sick” website —

Why are certain copywriters like Nick Usborne, Heather Lloyd-Martin, and Andrew Palmer wildly successful? Because they provide their clients with trusted marketing advice delivered through a “diagnostic-prescriptive” approach. They show clients how to fix their weak marketing with brilliant ideas and winning copywriting services.

They don’t just get paid for individual writing projects …

They command large fees because they’re problem-solving consultants … and then they charge top fees to write the solutions they’d recommended.
