Day 4–Clients and Prospects
Spent a lot of time working on client projects yesterday, and dealing with last minute issues about moving the domains to the new website. Why does it always have to be so complicated?! I have two questions in to my current web guy so the move probably won’t be made this weekend.
As far as new projects go:
- That same client from earlier in the week sent another small project–so I ended up at 35% of my daily income total. Basically, he’s paying me to review the copy for his website a page or two at a time, as he has it ready. But we talked about other potential projects in the coming weeks as well. You might think I’m discouraged about my results with the daily income totals from this week, but I’m not, and I’ll explain why below.
- I talked to another previous client who needs a press release for the opening of her new store. For a number of reasons, I’ve been shying away from doing press releases in recent months so I also gave her the option of having me just create a template, instructions, and short list of local contacts. And of course, that’s the route she chose. So I’m thinking I may leverage what I create for her into another info product.
- And a referral from a current client led a third person to contact me for a copywriting project–we now have an appointment to talk on Monday.
Marketing-wise:
- I spent an hour on a call about selling affiliate products which also had some great blog traffic tips that I hadn’t heard before.
- And I had my weekly mastermind buddy call with Victoria Player, an online marketing coach in the UK where we discussed a couple of options for joint teleseminars and telecourses after she wraps up the one she has scheduled for later this month.
As for the daily income totals for this week, I should probably explain that I’m NOT discouraged yet because I can easily make 200% or 300% of that amount with a deposit for a typical copywriting project. So while I wished I had fantastically stellar results to report in that area this week, I know it is way too soon to be concerned. Besides, it usually turns out that when it rains, it pours. This past week, we only had a few quick showers this week. ![]()

It is great to see that you still have your head held high! I can’t wait to see what happens at the end of the 30 days!
