10 unexpected things about being a freelance copywriter

Quick summary:

1. So if you are thinking of going freelance, you can definitely expect clients… unless you have a reputation as the office arsehole.

2. In that time I've learnt how to negotiate contracts, send invoices, pitch for jobs, grab and retain clients and be the best writer I can be – all the stuff I knew was coming.

3. My tip: Enjoy the quiet periods and spend the time writing blogs, working on your marketing strategy, making your social media accounts look fabulous and don't forget to relax

Recent highlights:

1. One piece of advice I always give to people who ask me about self-employment: Write a list of your potential clients before you quit your full-time job.

2. Before quitting my full-time job, I created a spreadsheet on Google Drive that tracks my assignments, their due dates, payroll, invoice date, and payroll date.
