Getting copywriting clients is easy, actually (an Interview with Matthew Volkwyn)
In this episode, we’re joined by Matthew Volkwyn to help us strip away the "get rich quick" veneers of the copywriting world to look at what actually builds a sustainable, high-income career. If you’ve been hunting for a magic outreach "hack" or a shortcut to six figures, this is your reality check: true success is a three-to-five-year game of skill mastery, and the real money is in cultivating long-term relationships with the clients you work with.
In this discussion, we talk about why most copywriters struggle with client acquisition. We explore the prioritization of skills over tactics, arguing that when you become undeniably good, the industry’s top 1% starts doing the heavy lifting for you through referrals and high-level networking.
Whether you’re just starting your clock on the "3-to-5-year rule" or you’re a seasoned pro looking to tighten your client retention, this episode offers a roadmap for evolving from a freelancer into a high-value partner.
