It's time to banish self-doubt and get on with copywriting glory

A Confident Copywriter is never under-booked or overpriced (to the right clients!)

My private coaching group for copywriters opens in 2021...

(with a secret open door for peeps on the waitlist in October 2020)

What if you always had to say:

I'm booked solid for the next few weeks.

What if you never had to hear:

Your quote is too high for what you offer.

What if you never had to experience the vomit-inducing feeling of panic around whether or not you're on the right track… with your quote, your first draft or your business?

It's possible.

The confidence to get paid more (and let's be real, that's what we're talking about)… that confidence begins with the skills you invest in learning and the people you surround yourself with.

Because success generally isn’t accomplished alone.

It takes a delicate balance of self-discovery, combined with support, advocacy and advice from the right people.

Just to name a few. You want more? Good!

Copywriting reviews and critiques on tap? Oh yes.

In the Copywriting Master Class you can get the copy you write as part of the course reviewed and critiqued by me. In Confident Copywriting, you can get those kinds of reviews about ANY copy you're working on.

YES!

The fastest way to improve the quality of your writing is to have it critiqued.

Submit your copy for a recorded review by me and make sure your first draft is client-ready. Or your homepage is on point. Or your latest blog post is coherent.

Normally, I charge $150 USD for a 30-minute advice session, so if you submit just two pieces of copy you've paid for a year of support and mentoring.

THAT IS HUUUUUUGE.

"This was exactly what I needed. It's like watching someone complete a nearly-there Rubik's cube.

I feel like watching your editing process will help me improve preemptively in the future too."

But it's not just about the resources.

It's about the community and support

Because being a freelance copywriter can be isolating.

Sure, not working on-site means you don't have to make small talk with the office dick. But, it also means you lose valuable connections with other humans.

In the Confident Copywriting community, you can ask questions and get advice but you can also vent about clients (and the people around you who don't seem to take your work seriously), get a high five for a win, and have a laugh before you dive back into work.

It's the best damn water cooler you'll find.

A water cooler with a mentor on standby.

A quick search reveals that most successful people have a mentor supporting them.

A mentor is a coach (showing you new ways of thinking and helping you stay focused on your goals), a challenger (to push you out of your comfort zone) and a cheerleader (to raise the roof on your progress).

A mentor is also someone who can be real with... to share the times you feel like it's never going to happen and when you're ego feels bruised. Because those days happen to us all.

That's a big (but often under-valued) part of the return you'll get on your investment.

Hi, I'm Belinda Weaver.

I’m not a fly-by-night-written-a-few-emails-and-decided-to-teach kind of copywriter. I’ve been writing copy for 10+ years, full time as a successful and in-demand freelance copywriter for nine of those years.

I’ve worked with hundreds (and hundreds) of clients of all sizes in all kinds of industries – from software products, insurance and financial planning to holiday packages, women’s shoes and plumbing. That doesn’t even scratch the surface!

I’ve written about products and services. I’ve written for SEO and for brand connection.

I’ve written websites, brochures, landing pages, slogans, directory listings, company and personal bios, blogs, email marketing, social media profiles, advertising, big fat ebooks and more. I’ve written pages and pages of copy and simple one-liners.

The point is that I’ve had a lot of variety come across my keyboard and I’ve learned the best copywriting techniques to get attention, create a connection and drive action.

I'm still working with clients, in addition to teaching others how to become successful, in-demand copywriters.

Will you be one of them?

Will you be one of them?

372% increase in monthly invoiced billings

After a particularly meagre month, Zoe was afraid she’d have to shut down the business—she earned less than she was paying for her son’s childcare.

She knew she had to find better clients and increase her rates or she might as well find a part-time job.

After joining, Zoe told Belinda about her revenue issues and problem clients, as well as her financial goals. They worked out the minimum rate she should charge given how many billable hours she had available per week, and then discussed what kind of clients she needed to book in order to reach her income goal.

By the end of the coaching session, Zoe had a map of the work she needed to do on her business and a new minimum rate she needed to charge her clients.

Zoe is now fully booked with clients and her gross invoiced billings for April was a 372% increase from before she joined Confident Copywriting.

I never would have had the confidence to raise my rates by that much without Belinda’s help.

“I didn’t know how to price my services. I was doing a lot of work because I had clients, but I wasn’t making very much money. I knew I needed some help. Confident Copywriting cost a bit more than LinkedIn Premium, but I thought I’d get so much more out of being a part of the community Belinda created.”

With Confident Copywriting, Eman receives monthly copywriting resources, tutorials, and templates, as well as a group coaching and accountability calls led by Belinda.

Eman says, “The resources and templates Belinda offers in Confident Copywriting make my life so much easier and my business so much easier to run. I got much more than I expected.”

Knowing she needed a plan to raise her rates, Eman booked a Pick My Brain individual coaching session with Belinda. During their session, Belinda helped Eman map out how much she wanted to earn per month and then determined what her rates needed to be to reach that number.

“I never would have had the confidence to raise my rates by that much without Belinda’s help. It wasn’t an issue at all with my clients. That conversation opened up a whole new world to me.” Instead of being afraid of turning down a project because a potential client wouldn’t pay her rates, Eman now understood that there would be other clients who would. It resulted in 363% increase in monthly gross revenue.

More financial stability than ever!

Six months into starting her business Becky was confident in her copywriting skills, but she knew she had more to learn about running a business. There were times when she was uneasy about raising her rates or wasn’t sure what to say to a client who wasn’t paying an invoice. She was also worried about the isolation that comes with being a solo entrepreneur and feared she would burn herself out working all the time.

“I needed more support, more information, and to feel like I knew what was doing. Confident Copywriting helped me raise my rates and reach my financial goals instead of selling myself short because I have cheerleaders behind me saying go for it! As a result of taking Belinda’s Copywriting Master Class and being a part of her Confident Copywriting coaching group, I have developed the skills to understand the true capacity of my business.”

30% boost in revenue in one conversation

After getting so much value out of Belinda’s Copywriting Master Class course, Liz joined the Confident Copywriting in June 2018. Every month Liz receives copywriting resources and tutorials, copy reviews, business building tips, and group coaching and accountability calls led by Belinda. But Liz’s favorite aspect of Confident Copywriting is the community of professional copywriters in the private Facebook group.

“I like that the Facebook group in Confident Copywriting is very focused on actual issues we’re having. Belinda is extremely attentive and it actually feels like mentorship,” says Liz

After a coaching call with Belinda, Liz was able to confidently quote the agency a higher rate and offer upsells for parts of the services she was already doing for them but not charging for. She’s also redesigned how she interacts with clients so she can control the project management process to her advantage.

“I went into the meeting feeling so confident because Belinda reinforced that the work I was doing was worth the money.”

LONGER CHATS ABOUT THE GROUP

This is the only current paid group I'm part of but I've tried other paid groups and nothing has felt quite as open or supportive as CC. I constantly refer to CC materials—both the FB group and the resources on the website—and I can say with total certainty that both have helped my business thrive.

This group is brimming with content from quick tips and tricks to tactical templates and trainings that are extremely valuable and effective. This group has a true "come as you are" feel to it, which, especially in these times, has been one of the most comforting places to turn to for support—and a good laugh.

Kat Ambrose Copywriting

Like everyone else has said, I love that this is a judgement-free zone. Everyone here is so supportive and makes you feel comfortable asking questions. I’ve been in other groups where people will “rip you to shreds” and it doesn’t make you want to speak up at all.

I also love all your support, Belinda. You go above and beyond to deliver content, calls, and all sorts of advice that seems to come at just the right moment.

Stephanie Tilton

For me, the reason why this community works and why I love it is Belinda. CC is your creation and you shape and nurture it so it remains true to your vision. Your personality makes it an engaging, fun environment. You guide it (and us), with your experience and your sense of humour. You're always ready to help, giving practical advice quickly, usually with so much detail that it’s a blueprint for how to handle that task or problem – something I can refer back to if I need help.

In fact, that’s one of the things that make this community outstanding: your willingness to share everything you know so generously. From the start, I’ve felt that you want each of us to grow and succeed. You demonstrate and thereby teach us how to show up in CC and how to support each other, as generously as you support us.

I feel safe, accepted and seen in this community. I've made real connections. I feel like I know at least all the more active members, even though we've never met. I know their professional focus and some of their personal concerns. I know what they excel at and learn with them when they ask for help. I feel I can add value by sharing what I know and helping others. We’re a true community of equals, with different skills and levels of experience. I never feel my ‘lack’ of skills or experience as a failure on my part, just as a 'there's an area I should explore'.

You know this connection you sometimes have with someone from the start, that ‘click’, the one you can't explain but is just there - or isn't? That’s how I’ve felt from day one in this community. That I’m in the right place.

Kerstin Sheppard - Lemir Communications

This group is so relevant.

Most everything applies to who you were, who you are now or who you’re going to be as a copywriter. And Belinda has created a space where you are supported to move forward at your own pace in your own way, without judgement. It’s pressure-free yet inspiration-rich!!!

There is no “my way or the highway” attitude or pressure to reach X by X. I am someone who has to embody the vision fully in my head before I act. This space allows me to do that. That’s why it’s the only course I’ve actually implemented in my business out of all the programs I’ve signed up for overtime.

Lisa Brewster

Echoing what everyone has said above--The biggest selling point for me is that I never feel like someone will jump down my throat if I say the wrong thing or if I'm inadvertently making a freelancing faux pas like undercharging or taking a job through a content mill. People respond with perspective and kindness rather than defensiveness, which means we feel safe asking the "dumb" questions. Also, the group is REALLY active. Posts get multiple thoughtful responses very quickly.

The trainings and group calls are awesome ways to get nuanced and personal advice that you really wouldn't get anywhere else. Every time you respond to my questions, I'm dumbfounded that the solution is so elegant and simple and that it had not in the least occurred to me before.

Okay, final thing--it's been a surprising positive that this group is fairly international. Just makes for a more balanced conversation, I think.

Krista Walsh Copywriting

I think you already have something from me, but if not: although I’m not a copywriter in the ‘advertising’ sense of the word, this is the ONLY paid group I’m in, now. Why? Because EVERY bit of training is spot on and can be used in my business right. now. (or be safely squirreled away in an archive). The training and other team members are real, too. Nothing is pretentious from Belinda’s side of it, and we all feel comfortable asking for help.

Kathie York

I love best is the peace of mind I have by being here. I don't always spend a lot of time in here but just knowing that I can dip in as I need and that there's a group of awesome copywriters that has my back, along with an incredible amount of resources on the site, is enough to keep me onboard. It's like when you don't spend a lot of time with family but 'know' they're there when you need, just like you are for them. Bit fluffy and long-winded but hope that makes sense.
