How to Set Your Copywriting Rates (Episode 17) Mar 10, 2021

Show notes

Everybody hates pricing their services.

That's because there is no exact science for pricing your services. There's no perfect formula that is going to work every time and be exactly right. It's as much art as science.

Nicki and Kate dig into why online calculators are wildly inaccurate (one told Kate, based on her experience, to charge $13,800 for a homepage).

Instead of relying on faulty math, they share the types of questions you need to ask clients before pricing your services, plus other factors you need to consider, such as experience, location, rush time, meetings, and more.

Karisa started her copywriting career the way many of our students do: while working another full-time job. She started pitching just a few months after joining the CCA during Pitch-a-Palooza, an annual student-only event designed to get everyone writing and sending their first pitches. Karisa received a response to one of those first pitches, officially launching her freelancing career. But it wasn't long before she found, applied for, and landed a full-time copywriting job.

This episode was recorded in two parts, the first back in early 2020, and the second in early 2021 so we could catch up with Karisa and see how her career evolved from freelance copywriter to full-time remote copywriter working with an organization she loves.
