They're not going to hire me
|
Hey there Reader, I had a call with a potential copywriting client yesterday. It was scheduled for 30 minutes, but it went on for almost an hour. But I told them not to hire me. The thing is, Google did another update recently and website traffic has taken a hit for many companies, including the one in question. They're a newer company and I advised them against investing in my services right now. They need some other assets in place first. So I gave them some free advice on DIY-ing the pre-work that happens before the conversion copywriting process. And I could see that they were both scribbling notes like mad while I was talking. If they need me later, I'll be thrilled to help them. If they don't, I'll be thrilled to see them DIY-it all the way. The point is, that I want them to succeed with or without me. Success is not a limited resource —there's more than enough success available for everyone, including you. If you're stuck and you have a private practice or writing business question and need some quick advice, hit reply and let me know. I want you to succeed. :) Talk soon, Julie p.s. Did you get this from a friend? Well, hello there! I'm Julie. I believe you can build the income you need and a life you love when you become a working writer.

Hey there Reader, I'm officially another year older today, and I have a birthday gift for you. I'm working with Geoff Brookshire, an LCSW whose upcoming book is titled Toddler Parenting. It's about working with a toddler's developmental stage instead of against it, and about handling toddler tantrums and behavior with more peace. No time-outs, no counting to three, no harsh punishment. No anxiety-inducing strategies to "win" — for parent or child. Geoff has more than 25 years of experience as...
Hey there Reader, 30 Days to Tame Type 2 Diabetes has sold 3,200 copies and generated $15,000 in revenue. But if I could rewrite it, I’d make it shorter and more focused. I tried to cover everything—diet, exercise, medications, mindset, and monitoring: I wanted to create a comprehensive guide for newly diagnosed patients. I should have talked to 20 patients and asked: “What’s the ONE thing you’re struggling with most right now?” Then I should have written a focused book solving the specific...
Julie Cunningham December 8, 2025 One reader, one message ↓ Hey there Reader, When I started writing my upcoming book, When Someone You Love Has Diabetes, I anticipated that my readers would be the spouses, adult children, and other friends and family members of people living with type 2 diabetes. But as I'm editing the book, I keep catching myself. Every few paragraphs, I stop and ask: "Who am I actually talking to here?" The answer keeps coming back: the spouse. Not because other caregivers...
