I’ve been learning a lot lately about the importance of running your business your own way instead of just following everyone else’s advice. Their advice might work for them, but it might not work for you. This is your reminder to make your own rules.

Ever heard of an audit? Some of you are going to love this. Audits are a type of copywriting service that are less about the writing and more about you leveraging your knowledge and expertise. This is not for beginners, but it's definitely something to have on your radar. In this episode, I'm talking about 11 reasons why I LOVE audits and why I think they can be a great addition to your services, when you're ready. _________________________________________________________________________________________________ If you haven't joined the Facebook group yet, click here: https://theinkwellguild.com/ Check out the blog for more writing tips: https://ashleygainer.com/blog/ FREE RESOURCES: Get a FREE copy of Freelance Writing Starter Pack: https://ashleygainer.com/starter-pack Join the FREE 5-Day Email Niche Challenge: https://writingnichechallenge.com/ FOLLOW ASHLEY Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ageditorial Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ashley.gainer/

The dreaded question... What do you charge for that? I have lots of workarounds for NOT answering that question when I'm on the spot and not totally sure what to say, but I also know it's important to give a real number in some contexts. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- If you haven't joined the Facebook group yet, click here: https://theinkwellguild.com/ Check out the blog for more writing tips: https://ashleygainer.com/blog/ FREE RESOURCES: Get a FREE copy of Freelance Writing Starter Pack: https://ashleygainer.com/starter-pack Join the FREE 5-Day Email Niche Challenge: https://writingnichechallenge.com/ FOLLOW ASHLEY Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ageditorial Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ashley.gainer/

Knitting, baking, walking around my woodsy neighborhood. What do these three things have in common? They keep me from burning out. When you're running a freelance writing business, especially if it's a significant source of your family's income, it can be easy to slip into "I should be working" mode around the clock. But let me tell you from personal experience... this doesn't work long-term. You will burn yourself out until you're basically fried crispy. This episode of Copy Chatter delves into why it's so important to give yourself downtime, as well as some of my favorite things to think about when it comes to taking downtime and what to do. This is one of those heart-to-heart episodes that's more about advice than about business tips, and I hope you benefit from the mistakes I share. -------------------------------------------- If you haven't joined the Facebook group yet, click here: https://theinkwellguild.com/ Check out the blog for more writing tips: https://ashleygainer.com/blog/ FREE RESOURCES: Get a FREE copy of Freelance Writing Starter Pack: https://ashleygainer.com/starter-pack Join the FREE 5-Day Email Niche Challenge: https://writingnichechallenge.com/ FOLLOW ASHLEY Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ageditorial Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ashley.gainer/
