you need word-sciencing.
You don’t need more wordsmithery to make your dreams sprout wings, stand out, & sell—
Ask me about that one time I booked myself out for 6 months—it wasn't fun. We DO tend to book out and fill out limited number of 1-on-1 client spots, so go ahead and reach out if you're interested in working together in some capacity ... but no, I won't send you to a 6 month long waitlist or anything. :)
Are you booking new clients?
No.1
The million-dollar q, right? All I need from you is about an hour on your homework, and then a few minutes each week to look at edits, and sign off on the process.
How many hours do I need to invest to get results?
No.2
The big kahuna packages—Launch Copy & Brand Story typically take about 4-6 weeks, designed to give you my full, undivided attention. I take on a limited number of clients each quarter, meaning you have me on hand for all your questions during our time together.
How long does the process take?
No.3
Whoop! We’d love to keep improving and testing work for you (this is actually our sweet spot). Work past a larger project typically falls into our day-rates, which we can help you book and tackle. Since we're conversion copywriters, we like to track long-term data and go in and get lift on past funnels after some of the dust has settled ... in other words, LEMME AT IT, if you'd be so kind.
What if we need to keep going after our project?
No.4
This is for you if you're ready to stop DIY'ing your copy for your launch and drill-down. It's for you if you're working to scale, and want to see conversions. This is built for creative entrepreneurs, and chiefly women looking to get their business in a place, so they can stop letting it run them (and focus on family, naps, and a good glass of wine!).
Who are your 1-on-1 copywriting services for?
No.5
Copywriting and marketing launch strategy is best reserved once you really know what your offerings are, so I'd recommend a year or two into your business— I don't want you to invest in something, only to have it change soon after!
If a 4-figure price tag is out of the budget (and I get it), reach out to me: you're the VERY reason I work to make copywriting templates and my group courses. You have GOT to be able to explain your value, and that's what you'll be able to do with my plug-and-play tools. If you let us know what you need, we can get the right resource into your hands (it may even be free).
Who are your 1-on-1 copywriting services not for?
No.6
You got it. We know this isn’t cheap, and most of our clients work in seasonal businesses (cough, looking at you wedding pros). In fact, nearly all of our packages are available for payment plans, with the exception of day-rates and hourly rates, which are due upfront. These spots f-l-y, and we only want to work with people who are willing and ready to make that commitment right away.
Can I pay you monthly?
No.7
Ask me about that one time I booked myself out for 6 months—it wasn't fun. We DO tend to book out and fill out limited number of 1-on-1 client spots, so go ahead and reach out if you're interested in working together in some capacity ... but no, I won't send you to a 6 month long waitlist or anything. :)
Do you use your client work for case studies?
