Fancy yourself as a paid writer?


Read time: 2 minutes

Hey Reader,

You might remember the story about my assistant Lou. A lady called Lisa reached out to see if she could work with her.

Well, this is only half the story.

Lisa also asked if I could take her on as a new client:

The problem?

I wasn't taking on new clients.

My hands were too full.

But rather than fritter the lead away (like I usually do), I thought back to my conversation with Sara.

Sara took part in one of my 30-Day Writing Challenges and made it clear she's looking for new clients.

She was even willing to pay me to send clients her way.

*Lightbulb goes PING in my head*

So I checked with Lisa if she'd be happy to work with someone I recommend:

"I would be happy to talk to Sara."

Now I just had to check that Sara was game!

So I opened my email and fired her a message:

Would you like me to make an intro?

I made the intro, Lisa and Sara started working together, and I'll receive a 10% cut of the project fee when the work is complete.

Everyone wins! :)

Alright, alright - where am I going with this?

I typically receive 3-5 inbound PAID opportunities a month, and I can't take them all on.

I'm basically sitting on a goldmine.

And I want to give you an opportunity to tap into it.

So, if you're a writer who's:

  • Built a written portfolio of more than 20 pieces of long-form content
  • Invested in your writing skills ​
  • Looking for paid work (where YOU set the rate)

​Get in touch!​

If you meet the criteria above, I will:

  1. Add you to a database
  2. Email you when opportunities arise (if I think you're a good fit)
  3. Opportunities will be given on a first-come, first-served basis (i.e. whoever's quickest to respond)

In return, I'll ask for 10% of the cost of the first project (e.g. if you bill the client $1K, I'll take $100.)

But after the first project with the client, I won't take anything else.

So that's the deal :)

Interested?

​Fill out this Google Form and I'll take a look at your application.

But be quick! I'll be closing the form this Sunday.

I hope to hear from you!

Scott

Hey Reader, Last Saturday, I did my first live commentary for Harrogate Railway's YouTube channel! Here's the replay. But this isn't what I want to talk to you about today. Not really. No, the unexpected thing happened because of a 51-second video... Making the video I wanted to make a "day in the life" voice over video. So throughout the day, I took the following shots: Researching on my laptop Writing notes Leaving my house Walking to the stadium Going through the turnstile Commentating on...

Hey Reader, Since the start of Feb, I've been trying to figure something out: How can I best serve you? You see, people on my email list have different interests: Outsourcing Freelancing Writing And on it goes. But what's the thing you've got in common? You probably stick around for me. *I just felt some sick in my mouth* 😅 All my favourite creators keep it real. Take Alice Lemee. We've never met in person, but I feel like we're internet friends because of her posts. (She's well worth a...

Read time: 1 min Hey Reader, Testimonials can help you land new clients, but there's a problem: Anyone can write them. The exception to this are testimonials on LinkedIn. They're verified. The question is how can you ask for these in a way that doesn't feel sleazy? A quick story A few months ago, I started working with Kit. It's been a joy. They're a great client. So much so, I wrote a LinkedIn post about how I landed the opportunity: At the end of the post, I thanked Thom — the person I work...
