Money talks:
How I charge more and
stress less
Sophia Arthur
#COPYCON19
Every good copywriter
will one day have THAT
moment...
#COPYCON19
@sophiaarthurcopywriter
@sophizab
#COPYCON19
@sophiaarthurcopywriter
@sophizab
I don’t take clients like
that anymore
(because I’m ‘too expensive’ in the first place...)
#COPYCON19
@sophiaarthurcopywriter
@sophizab
When I first started
copywriting, my
office looked like
this...
Now it looks
like this
I needed to show up
LIKE A BOSS
#COPYCON19
@sophiaarthurcopywriter
@sophizab
I started to treat
copywriting like a
business
(not a hobby or *gasp* a ‘side hustle’…) Tip
Invest in systems,
processes and tools
like booking software.
It costs $12 a month
but immediately
makes you feel like
you’re taking things
seriously.
MY MARKET IS
EVERYONE
NO ONE
#COPYCON19
I worked out who I
wanted to serve and
how to offer high value
Tip
It’s perfectly fine to be
expensive but worth it!
It’s your job to show your
value and position
yourself as a ‘thinking
partner’ in your client’s
business.
Once I changed my mindset
And repositioned myself...
It was so much easier
to show up like a boss
#COPYCON19
@sophiaarthurcopywriter
@sophizab
But I still needed need a
few confidence hacks to
get me over the line!
#COPYCON19
@sophiaarthurcopywriter
@sophizab
The file of
awesomeness...
WHAT WOULD BE
POSSIBLE?
#COPYCON19
@sophiaarthurcopywriter
@sophizab
Do things that make YOU
feel premium
➔ Get a good space
Your environment directly affects
how you feel
➔ Invest in yourself and your
business
Update your systems, your skills and
your knowledge (this doesn’t have
to cost a lot)
➔ Remember why you’re awesome
Collect your file of awesomeness
and refresh your memory before
EVERY call
#COPYCON19
The other
side is
SO MUCH
BETTER!
You’ve got this!
#COPYCON19
