There are certain questions you're going to get asked as a copywriter, around the holidays or otherwise.

But as you likely know, copywriters don't fall into this bucket. Here's how to answer this question, whether you're comfortable telling your grandfather exactly what you're making, or you simply want to correct this bit of misinformation so many people have been taught to believe. --------------- Mentioned in the Episode Ep. 25: How Much Can a Copywriter Earn?

	27 Oct 2021	50. Should I Put Copywriting Rates on My Website?	00:26:00
Some copywriters will tell you putting prices on your website makes you more transparent. When phrased like that, it sounds like a no-brainer, right? However, as Nicki and Kate dig into in this episode, no two homepages or emails or any other project are 100% alike, so how can you put a price on your website if you don't even know what the project entails? Listing prices can prevent you from landing some really fantastic projects with great clients. If you've been tempted to list your prices because you feel like you have to, you'll want to listen to this episode to find out why that is, why listing prices isn't a must, and what to do instead.

	04 Dec 2020	1. What is Copywriting?	00:47:46
The MOST exciting thing about copywriting in 2025? All the opportunities. Think about it: the 21st century alone has already brought so many new opportunities for copywriters: The Internet—all of the Internet!!!—was largely just becoming mainstream at the start of the century. (For context, Amazon was started in 1995.) Meta, still known as Facebook, didn't even get founded until 2004. TikTok was founded in 2016. All of this brought new mediums where copywriters are needed: Online product descriptions Banner ads Email Webpages Social media ads Not to mention there's still a ton of print, out of home, radio, and other mediums that need copywriters ... (CCA students, do NOT overlook these opportunities—so much of copywriting is still for offline mediums!) So, as I write this in 2025, I couldn't be more excited for all the opportunities yet to come! Yes, even with AI. AI is just another tool in the copywriter's toolkit. And, as copywriting has proven time and time again—through major cultural transitions and eras—it's absolutely needed. Which, I don't know about you, but that level of staying power—and the continued need for trained copywriters over the centuries—is pretty darn exciting. Kate and I finally recorded an update to answer the "what is copywriting" question for 2025. And, spoiler, you'll notice that even though the world is changing (as it always does!), there are still some copywriting principles that just stand the test of time. --------------- Related Links What is Copywriting?

	25 Sep 2024	196. 5 Email Copywriting Tests to Recommend to Clients (And Get More Work)	00:34:55
You don’t have a crystal ball to predict the exact copy that will resonate with your client’s audience. But, you do have a different tool that can help: A/B testing. A/B copy tests—comparing one element of copy to the same element with different copy—helps you learn what makes your client’s audience tick. (For example, you may have two ideas for a subject line—how do you know which one is better?! Test!) Now, as a copywriter, you don’t need to run these tests. But you can certainly recommend tests to your clients—and provide the copy for them.

You may incorporate these industries on your pitch list, but we’d recommend not limiting yourself to any single industry—or judging any single industry based on one client or one experience.
