Nadja Eriksson is a feisty copywriter who helps conscious entrepreneurs express their unique brilliance with words that seduce and sell.

She was initially hesitant to join Create Your 6-Figure Copywriting Business™, but followed her intuition and dove in... three weeks after the program officially started!

Nadja was able to sell her first $3k package within 12 weeks of joining by nailing her "stand out factor" and the value she brings to her clients. Now she's rebooking clients again and again for higher ticket packages

I don't know who teaches that the best way to get clients is to send tons of cold pitch emails or DMS, but like... whyyyy tho? 😂

Sales is about relationships, and you are not developing a positive relationship with a cold pitch of any kind, whether it's an email, a DM, or a carrier pigeon into some stranger’s house, okay?

Think about the energy expenditure of sending 100 cold pitches to get maybe 1 response. That would be an average “conversion rate.” That sounds demoralizing and a terrible ROI in terms of energy out to energy in. 

If you’re committed to cold pitches even if they’re not working for your sales, maybe it’s because you’d prefer to hide and don’t actually want to talk to anyone or close any new sales... 

But if you DO want conversations, sales, to see your effort turn into new, let’s choose another strategy.

This your new mantra:

You do not need leads.
What you need is friends.

You need REAL relationships that are built on mutual benefit, kindness, support, love, and care.

Focus on expanding your network, one awesome human at a time, and marketing will start to feel easier. 

Referral business will gradually begin to flood in.

And you won’t have to “push” or force any of it.

So if you do decide to send a “cold” email or DM -- don’t pitch!

Let it be about the relationship, and focus on making a new friend instead.

Finding the right price and confidently stating is can be the HARDEST thing as a copywriter. I know. I've been there myself, and I speak with so many copywriters who say "I know I'm undercharging but I don't know how to correctly price my services."

Here's the deal: it becomes WAY EASIER when you have strategic clarity on how to think about pricing, packaging, and sales. Pricing is not about picking a random number, it's NOT about how HARD you work, or how many hours you put in. It's about whether or not your service value-aligned, clearly defined, and desirable.

In this episode, I share the three things you need to think about before raising your prices.

Copywriters often come to me wondering what they should be spending to get their business up and running. The beautiful thing about starting a copywriting business is that it's a low overhead business. You need a laptop, some WiFi, and to know your plan for attracting and securing clients.

But that doesn't mean it's "free," or that you don't need to invest in software or support to help you start and grow. In this episode I'm walking you through the investments that I made at each stage of my business to hit my goals, grow, and scale to 6-figures as a copywriter.
