Stop handing in second rate work! (https://livelongdigital.com.au/report)

When I’m busy with other work, I sometimes outsource copywriting work to other , coaches or consultants (https://livelongdigital.com.au/seo-consulting-services/) in that field.

Working with project partners, I often have to read the copy submitted to my partners by their freelance copywriters.

Here’s the shocker… (https://livelongdigital.com.au/report)

More often than not, most freelance copywriters, coaches or consultants hand in garbage.

These are good, professional copywriters, all capable of producing outstanding work.

But the work they submit is rubbish.

Maybe the opening is weak. Maybe the flow just doesn’t work. Maybe there are factual errors, or spelling errors. Maybe part of the offer description from the brief is missing. Maybe the headline is just plain wrong.

Or maybe it’s not terrible, but clearly in need of some more polish, with a second or third draft required.

Do you think I’m joking? I’m not. I see this again and again. In fact, I see unfinished, unpolished copy more often than I see well-crafted, error-free copy.

The bottom line is – most freelance copywriters fail to hand in their best work. (https://livelongdigital.com.au/report)

This is insane, because you will be judged by what you send in to your clients. And it is immensely frustrating for your clients, because they often know what you are capable of, and don’t understand why you would send in anything less than your best.

Maybe you think, “Hey Prosper, sometimes we send in a draft just to get feedback before we move on to the final draft.”

That may sound like a reasonable excuse, but I think it’s just that (https://livelongdigital.com.au/report) – an excuse.

If you have questions you need to ask your client, ask them. But don’t send them a weak draft, in the hope that they’ll help you make it better. You are meant to be the expert.

That’s what they are paying you for.

Work for fewer clients and spend longer on each job, so you can hand in your best work every time. And as you build your reputation as a coach, consultant or small business (https://livelongdigital.com.au/seo-services/small-business-seo/) owner who always submits great work, you’ll be able to charge higher fees.

Fewer clients. Better quality. Higher fees. (https://livelongdigital.com.au/report)

Doesn’t that make more sense?

And believe me, with so many entrepreneurs submitting second-rate, unfinished copy, there is a huge opportunity to brand yourself as the freelancer who always delivers his or her best work. (https://livelongdigital.com.au/report)
