{How to make your first N100,000 as a New Copywriter in Nigeria…. }
I am now about to keep that promise
For obvious reasons, I will start with how u can do this on Twitter
You say you agree?
Great…. let’s proceed then
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}
👇🏿
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
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!
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)
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...
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 --
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
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......
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
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
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
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
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.
