Email Marketing Copywriter

Here’s how I consistently land work...even in weird markets. One thing I’ve learned after 7+ years as a copywriter (and 25+ in marketing): When work slows down, panic never helps - process does. When I need to generate new opportunities, this is what actually works for me: ✅ Reaching out to past clients and recent collaborators directly ✅ Asking specific people for referrals (not broadcasting “I’m available”) ✅ Targeted LinkedIn outreach by niche (wine, cannabis, biz/opp - not spray-and-pray) ✅ Short, personal video messages tied to a clear offer (also reassures that you're not A.I.) ✅ Staying visible on social with proof, perspective, and clarity This exact approach has: 🏆 Landed me a cannabis client via a cold video DM 🏆 Turned former clients into repeat work + referrals 🏆 Helped me secure a $2K/week contract through a creative agency last year What hasn’t worked for me? ❌ Mass job boards where hundreds apply ❌ “Do free work” aka 'copy trial' requests that go nowhere 👻 ❌ Blind applications on busy job boards (Indeed, LI honestly, saturated FB groups) without a human follow-up The takeaway: The current market rewards clarity + relationships, not volume. I’ve got 2 openings right now for email strategy, list management, and launch copy and I’m being very selective about fit. If email is a serious growth lever for your business this year, stay tuned... I’ll be sharing more about what I’m building next. (Comment or DM if email is on your radar right now.)
