Spiritual Foundations

[8:00] There is a passage in James that says you are not supposed to be  boasting about tomorrow. Does this mean we shouldn’t have goals?  

[9:05] Choose goals that are challenging and stretch you but that are realistic.

[10:34] You should talk about what you are planning to do, God willing. Is this correct?

[12:30] You do not know what tomorrow holds.

[16:17] James was addressing a specific group to the people at the time.  That doesn’t mean that it doesn’t apply now.

Feature Presentation “How to Get Clients Now”

3 Pillars of Starting a Copywriting Business

  1. Do the most lucrative form of writing: direct response sales copy.
  2. Get good at writing copy: study and get feedback from someone who knows what they are doing.
  3. Get clients.

So how do you do this?

  1. Be so good they can’t ignore you.
  2. Alienate the right people. Figure out who your perfect client is, and talk to them.
  3. Tell client success stories. If you don’t have any, get some!

WORK!

Go to seminars and workshops for the area you specialize in.  

And now, Tiffany leads us where angels fear to tread:

  • My bad habit: Oreo McFlurries.
  • What is in my bag? My camera: Canon M50.
  • My story of how I decided I wanted to write.
  • My earliest happy memory: pooping.
  • I would rather not restart my life; I would rather continue my life.
