How to onboard copywriting clients (and not go CRAZY)
Over the past 12 months I’ve written copy for 25+ Skool communities and scaled my agency to $50K+/mo. Last January I onboarded 6 new copywriting clients in 30 days. All while traveling, going to events, and even exploring London. 🎡👀 So what’s the secret behind writing copy for lots of clients at once? Having SYSTEMS. Here’s my simple 2-step system that ensures a smooth experience for both me and my clients: Step 1: Simplify research Before you start writing, explore your client’s target audience, content and tone of voice. Then, CONDENSE all 3 into 1 document. 🤏 Here’s how: 1. Take 10+ pieces of their content (YouTube, shorts, etc.) 2. Transcribe using NoteGPT (yes, it’s free) 3. Plug into ChatGPT and ask for a summary Step 2: Set communication cadence Before you start your first project, set 3 key expectations with your client: 1. When and how will you communicate? (email, Slack, texts?) 2. How will you deliver the copy? 3. How will you track progress? (weekly calls, reports, etc.) (You don’t want clients messaging you at 12am asking for revisions, right?) Bonus tip: 💡 The client just handed you A LOT of money (hopefully $2K+) 😉 So you want to reinforce that working with you was a great decision in the first 24 hours after onboarding. You can send a Loom review of their content, free Skool graphics, or even a quick brand summary to show you did your homework. Best part? Once you nail this system, you can stack clients and get some sleep too. 🥱 P.S. How many clients do you currently have guys? Let me know in the comments 👇
