Getting Clients With Content MasterclassĀ [Laura Higgins]
A creative business coach extraordinaire, we couldnāt think of anyone better to teach us about āgetting clientsā. A super practical session on attracting dream clients with your content.
HEY! I'M ALYCE.Ā
Iām the Director + Head Writer of Bossy. Copywriting, Host of The Bossy. Type podcast and Headmaster at Bossy. Copy College and Bossy. Business School. When Iām not building fun brands, writing creative copy or growing my empire, Iām teaching ambitious business owners how it's done. Drink in hand, ofc.
In 2016, I barged my way into copywriting from a completely different industry. To say I was starting from scratch is the understatement of the century. Since then, Bossy. has grown into a multi 6-figure, booked-out copywriting studio, a chart-topping podcast, four courses, an epic community, a strong personal brand and a reputation for building bold brands and writing creative copy like no one else.
But it wasn't an accident. A chaotic creative who once believed IĀ was "bad with numbers" and "sucked at business", I taught myself the systems and processes to start, run and grow a creative empire ā my own way.
This kit of templates, tools and teachings is exactly what I needed in my first couple of years, to straighten out the 'business side' of Bossy. andĀ look (and feel!) like a grown-up company.
ā”ļø IS this for me? ā”ļø
The Bossy. Business Starter Kit is for any creative that wants to start a side hustle or bonafide business. Being creatives, we often have our skill down pat āĀ but itās the business side of things that hold us back.
Weāre usually winging EVERYTHING and wish we could peek on another successful creative business to answer our #1 question: Am I doing it right?
If youāve ever wondered about any of the below:
- Putting together a creative portfolio
- Cold pitching a dream clientĀ
- PresentingĀ your packages + pricingĀ
- Compiling a client agreement
- Asking your client briefing questions
- Responding to new enquiriesĀ Ā
- Managing projects + timelines
- Planning viral contentĀ
- Navigating tricky client situationsĀ
- Money basics, cashflow and tax
- Making revenue from your contentĀ
- Improving your SEO and leads
Ā ā¦This plug-and-play kit is just what you need to feel more confident and set up your business.
All content has been taken from my business coaching program, Bossy. Business School, but customised to suit ANY creative or service-based business, so you can get the mentor experience even if you're not a copywriter.
It took me YEARS to learn this stuff, find my processes and scale my business. You too can chip away at it ā or you can install these templates and tools for an instant overhaul.Ā
Fix your foundations, get clients and make money NOW, not three years down the line.
