Copywriter Andrea Littell is the guest for the 167th episode of The Copywriter Club Podcast. As we’ve gotten to know Andrea over the past year and learned more about her accomplishments and struggles, it was obvious we needed to have her join us to talk about her business. This discussion covers a lot of ground, including:
• her experience as the “go to” person for marketing and copywriting
• why she started a blog—Townies—and what it did for her business
• how she attracted attention without a plan or a press kit
• why she put her blog on pause and what she’s doing now
• how to prepare for personal difficulties when you’re the provider
• the place budgeting and knowing your numbers has in your business
• how Andrea manages the money in her business
• the power of consistency to earn grace from clients when you need it
• how to keep the right mindset when everything falls apart
• why more money isn’t always the goal for Andrea’s business
• working with an agency as a freelancer and the works she does
• the thing that matters more than talent when freelancing
• her advice to other freelancers who are starting out
• what her business looks like today and the kinds of projects she takes on now
• boundaries and how she makes space for her family and personal time
• the thing that has made the biggest difference in her success so far
• how to prepare your biz for a maternity (or paternity) leave
