This One Method Will Get The Best Copywriters To Help You Out
…Most people don’t have the guts to do this
It will hurt your ego
But build your business
If you are willing to do it.
I know this works, because I personally help a lot of Copywriters who’re in this situation
For Copywriters just getting started, or those who aren’t confident writing yet,
This method will help you:
- Build a relationship with great Copywriters
- Get free help
- Improve your copy
- And possibly find a long term mentor
This kind of technique shouldn’t be slimy
It’s a genuine way to get help, and if you’re really lucky you’ll find a Copywriting mentor and/or friend
Copy critique, networking and mentorship are extremely valuable
This way you can get all three
On a single platform
With one simple post
All you need to do is follow these 3 simple steps:
1. First fill your Facebook feed with other Copywriters (ideally 1,000+)
You can do this by joining Copywriting groups
And connecting and interacting with lots of good writers
2. Just ask
Now that you have a relevant audience
You can spark their interest
You can’t just ask for help, you’ve got to offer a good reason for them to help you
And don’t expect much, just ask for a small favour
Something like:
“Hey guys, I’m not sure if my copy is quite good enough before I submit it to my first client. Would anyone be interested in just taking a quick look and telling me if it’s good enough or not?”
Being a Copywriter myself, I’ve helped people who’ve posted statuses like this, often it’s a random spur of the moment type thing. Or maybe they’ve interacted a lot with my profile on social media.
Even though you’re just starting out
Your copy has to be quite good when you are asking for help
Asking this way works
Because it’s such small commitment
And of course only ask for help using a true story
Create a good story about why people should help you
3. Have a real conversation
Once the conversation starts,
You’ll want to develop a real friendship
Thank them for the help, and ask them a couple of short, easy to answer questions
DON’T immediately ask them for more help, just be a normal human being
Find a common ground, something you’re both interested in
And once the conversation stops, stop… (Copywriters are busy people)
If they like you
They will be much more eager to help you in future
You’re not looking to make 10 new Copywriter friends from this post, that’s unrealistic
You’re actually just looking for a little help on one piece of copy you’ve written
And the chances are, if you put yourself out there
1 or 2 Copywriters will be willing to go the extra mile
And you could become good friends
This way you will have a network of people who’re willing to help you build your business
Even if you don’t have much to offer in return yet
