How to Avoid Copywriting Employment Scams (Episode 219)


Listen Later

Quick quiz! What’s the first thing you do when a potential client reaches out to you?

A. Squeal in excitement

B. Start digging into the copy, duh!

C. Stalk them on LinkedIn

Well, the answer should be some combination of A and C.

Excitement is totally warranted when a new client reaches out—especially if you like the company! 

But, as with many things in life, we need to hold space for two seemingly opposite things: excitement and skepticism.

Job scams are a tale as old as time. They’re not unique to copywriters, but there are a few red flags specific to writers you can look out for. And, there are a few key steps to take before agreeing to any work! 

Listen to hear Kate and I share our top tips for spotting job scams and how to (wisely!) proceed if you’re interested in any opportunity.
