FAQ
What can I expect working with you? – You can expect me to be respectful and responsible. I realize that you’ve poured your blood, sweat, and tears into your business and I respect that in an entrepreneur. Just like you, I understand value. The fact that you’re paying me to do a job for you obligates me to give you the best work I’m capable of. I’ll tell you what I will do, and what I won’t do if that should be the case. We’ll understand each other.
Do you do all the work yourself, or do you use AI (Artificial Intelligence) or other writers? – No, I don’t use AI, nor do I outsource projects. Everything you get from me, I will have done.
When can you start on my project? – That depends on my workload. When you have a project for me, we will talk/text/email. At that time, I will let you know when I can start and by when the job should be finished. There will be no surprises.
What are your rates? – My rates will vary from job to job depending on the research involved, and the complexity of the project. But whatever the rate, you’ll approve it before my work begins.
How soon should I expect you to finish my project? – I won’t know that until you notify me that you have something for me to write for you. Once we’ve talked, I will let you know when you can expect your project to be completed. If, for some reason, I’m unable to produce what’s expected, as soon as I know the expected delivery date is unattainable, I will let you know. There will be no surprises regarding project completion.
Do I have to pay extra for a revision? – The short answer is no, as long as the information I’ve been given was correct and complete. If the revision is outside the scope of what’s been discussed, there may be a revised cost for the project.
What kind of results can I expect? – Professional, timely, and as promised. I wouldn’t expect anything less. Nor should you.
Do you understand enough about my highly technical industry to write about it? – With every job, I’ll do research. I’ll have a good working knowledge of your industry after I’ve done that. If I still have questions, I’ll contact you or someone you’ve designated to help my understanding.
What sets you apart from every other copywriter? – Life experience, first. Self-respect for a job well done, second. And knowledge of who I’m talking to. For instance, I was an on-air DJ at an FM rock station. I was also Music Director. I had to listen to new music as though I was a listener of the station. In other words, the songs didn’t have to be to my liking, they had to be in line with what our listeners wanted to hear. I had to understand what that was because it was all about their taste, not mine. In writing for your business, I’ll put myself in your customers’ shoes, so I’ll know how to bring up what’s important to them and what they expect from you. I would imagine that most copywriters are empathetic with the reader, but I don’t know how well they do that. I did so well picking out songs for my show, that my Program Director put me in charge of figuring out what music our station would play; what our product was. And ours was the most listened-to station in the western country-music capitol of Bakersfield, California. I think that sets me apart from my peers, respectfully.
