“Why Does Your Letterhead Say ‘Direct Response Copywriter and Marketing Consultant’?”

I specialize in crafting compelling copy for my clients in various industries. I also work with my clients as a dedicated consultant.

Together, we meticulously strategize and execute marketing campaigns. Yielding a highly positive response from their target audience.

My approach involves offering on-point advice. Advice that is cost-effective and tailored to align with their unique goals and objectives.

My commitment to transparency and fairness sets me apart. I also choose not to impose monthly retainer fees, unless it favors the client to do so.

This ensures that my clients get exceptional value for their investment in our partnership.

“Your Services Page Lists a Price for a ‘Copy Critique,’ What’s That?”

A Copy Critique offers an impartial evaluation of a marketing campaign. Whether it’s an advertisement, email, webpage, or blog post.

You can ask for a critique on an existing piece or a draft in progress.

When you order a Copy Critique, you will get a comprehensive written report that analyzes your copy in detail. The report will be at least two single-spaced pages and it covers various aspects like copy, design, strategy, and offer.

I will highlight your copy’s strengths and weaknesses and suggest what needs to be changed and how. The report will also include directions for revisions and give guidance for rewriting.

However, I will not write or rewrite the copy under this arrangement for you.

If you need a ‘second opinion’ on a piece of copy, a Copy Critique is the ideal solution. It’s especially useful if you need fresh ideas to revive an existing package that’s no longer effective.

It’s also a great way to experience my services. Because the cost is lower than having me write your copy from scratch.

“Speaking of Money, What Does It Cost to Hire You for a Project?”

Feel free to share your ideas with me for any copywriting assignment. This could be a direct mail package, an advertorial, a white paper, a podcast script, or a website.

I’ll provide you with a personalized quote based on your specific needs.

My Services Page breaks down typical prices across various project types. So you can bring your vision to life through compelling copywriting.

“How Long Will It Take You to Write My Copy?”

Ideally, I would like 2-3 weeks to work on your copy. This timeframe allows me to carefully review, polish, and revise the content until every word is perfect.

If you can’t afford to wait too long, please let me know the deadline date on the enclosed order form. If I take on the job, I guarantee you will get the copy on or before this date.

No matter the deadline, you can rely on me to deliver error-free work.

“What Happens If We Want You to Revise the Copy?”

Let me know what you want improved in the given text. I can make changes as you need.

I’ll make the necessary revisions quickly and without any extra charges.

The flat fee we agreed upon for the assignment includes revisions. You must ask for them within 30 days of receiving the copy.

Please note that these revisions should be based on the original assignment. They should not be based on any changes made after I send the copy.

If you are not 100% sure the copy appropriately stands for your brand upon receiving it, let me know. I will revise it at my expense.

And I will make the changes based on your specific guidelines.

“How Do I Order From You?”

Putting me to work for you is easy.

Let me know the target audience you are selling it to. And send me any relevant literature to help me gather the necessary information to write your copy.

You can use the enclosed order form as a guide. You don’t need to organize anything — I’ll handle that.

If I need any further clarification, I’ll give you a call and ask for it.

Once you give me the go-ahead, I will write the assignment for you. You will get it on or before the deadline.

And my copy is guaranteed to represent your brand accordingly.
