Hey legends, I'm Joel
I currently work as an underpaid content strategist at a marketing agency doing a little bit of everything. I love copywriting, video editing and am obsessed with personal branding (primarily on Linkedin). The job I have right now doesn't offer me the problems that I want to solve, plus I think I could make more money on my own, doubling down on a set of profitable skills that I actually enjoy. Naturally, I became interested in freelancing and set myself the goal to start taking on copywriting gigs on the side to eventually transition into full-time within the next 3 months. Tomorrow, I will have my first client meeting with a business coach to discuss a content strategy for their Linkedin. Unfortunately, my rate will be relatively low, but I can use that experience to start building my portfolio with cases. Aside from copywriting, I want to also dive deeper into e-mail marketing, funnel building and media buying. Looking forward to connecting with you guys. Pce

@Tre Alvarado hey thanks, loving the vids btw do you have advice for setting an initial hourly rate? I've written a fair bit of copy at my job now and am confident in my abilities to adapt and learn on the fly, but I don't have much to showcase as I can't use any references from my job. Would you recommend starting with a lower rate and be transparent about the fact that I'm looking to gain experience or trust myself and charge higher rates?
