What is a Copywriting Test and Should You Do Them? (Episode 56) Dec 08, 2021

Show notes

At some point in your copywriting career, you'll likely have a client that asks you to do a copy test. A copy test is a way for them to gauge whether or not you're a good fit for the job, particularly if they're hiring for a full-time job and want to find the best candidate for their role.

That said, clients have many ways of conducting copy tests, whether it's a timed copy test, small project, or several projects. Some are paid and some are unpaid. So, how do you navigate copy tests while protecting and valuing your time? Nicki and Kate dig into all the options you have when faced with a copy test.

Should I Put Copywriting Rates on My Website? (Episode 50) Oct 27, 2021

Show notes

Some copywriters will tell you putting prices on your website makes you more transparent. When phrased like that, it sounds like a no-brainer, right? However, as Nicki and Kate dig into in this episode, no two homepages or emails or any other project are 100% alike, so how can you put a price on your website if you don't even know what the project entails?

Listing prices can prevent you from landing some really fantastic projects with great clients. If you've been tempted to list your prices because you feel like you have to, you'll want to listen to this episode to find out why that is, why listing prices isn't a must, and what to do instead.
