[THREAD] How to make your first N100,000 on Twitter as a New Copywriter...in 60-days or Less

1. Optimize your bio --- {Make it abundantly CLEAR that you’re a Copywriter… Eg: Copywriter who helps biznesis create highly engaging copy that grabs attn. & makes people buy}

👇🏿

2. Use your real-name as your handle

3. Fill your timeline with valuable content that demonstrates your skills & Knowledge in marketing

Consistently share content that helps solve biz problems… you don’t have to sleep on Twitter, 2 or 3 hrs/day will do.

Avoid arguments

It is important that you have 1,2,3 in place before you move to 4.

Let me explain why;

Any prospective client you approach on Twitter will definitely go thru your timeline & bio

....they are looking for reasons to justify hiring you…

Note this: Your timeline & bio are KEY!

4. Decide on the Niche you are targeting….. {Eg: Men’s health, Fashion, Anti-aging etc}

5. Look for active tweeters in that niche --not just anyone, som1 who shares great niche-relevant content , has an Email List/product, believes in mrkting (from his tweets, you'll now)

Follow them – Study them, Retweet their best content….

7. ^ Comment on their Threads/Tweets…. {Say valuable stuff, Don’t flatter…

8. Pay attn. to the marketing/biz projects they’re working on….. {Mostly, they announce it on their timeline} –more on this below.

Then...

Once you have 4-8 in place

Move to 9

9: Your Portfolio: Create 1-2-3 short samples relevant to the niche of ur target prospect

using Google Doc mks it easy for them to read your samples --- Its simple, visit docs.google.com ---sign up or log in…. Create a New Doc --

9b. Decide on how much you want to charge ---

I advise you start small ….. Maybe 25k or 30k {$100}per project You could create monthly retainer packages for N50k+

Most clients won’’t have any qualms with that amount

Don't worry, you can raise your rates as demand goes up

Remember –all you need is 4 clients to hit the N100,000/month mark.

N25,000 x 4 =N100,000.
N30,000 x 4 =N120,000.
N50,000 x 2 =N100,000. {i.e.: 2-monthly-retainers}

The monthly retainer package works superbly well for companies who want to attract customers on Soc-media......

10. DMs --> Start pitching

Remember, before you reach out to prospectv clients

People are not looking for Copywriters, they want sm1 to help them achieve money goals or grow their biz

Position yourself, not as a copywriter, but as som1 who helps biznesses reach their goals

10b. What to say in your DMS”

{See template below}

Don’t be scared

They’ll either say yea or nay… Or not respond

No matter, Send more dms if there’s no response in 3 days…. Send at least 3 more subsequently

You should be sending out DMs to at least 4 prospects -- daily..

10c. More Tips on getting Copywriting clients on Twitter

Tip #1 : in your DM pitch, you can offer to create 5-6 highly engaging threads/weekly for prosp-clients

~this is a good idea since it helps them grow their personal brand --- more followers/RTs, more customers, more money

10d. Tip #2 on getting Copywriting clients on Twitter

Go to the Twitter search tab

Search for E-commerce
Focus on: Top, people, Latest

Also search for relevant hashtags like #ecom #ecommerce #shopify #clickbank

You'll find lots of prospective clients --apply same steps above

NOTE:

Please be consistent….

It’s not a walk in the park, but consistency pays off

And with everything I’ve outlined….

You should....

In 60-days or less, be making up to N100,000/Monthly just writing simple Social Media posts…. Ads… Emails… Sales Letters…. Etc

I will ….{I am getting tired} try to answer your questions much later..

P-S: Did you know you can get Copywriting Clients from Newspapers, Magazines & online forums?

You say you knew not?

Okay

Maybe I’ll do a thread on that later, but for now

All the best

You can do this.
