Copywriter Julia Reinisch is in the house for the 95th episode of The Copywriter Club Podcast. Julia chatted with Kira and Rob about a variety of topics from how she came to join The Copywriter Think Tank to her favorite dive spots in Roatán. Long time listeners know that we like to talk with copywriters at all stages in their business, and while Julia is not a beginner, many listeners will relate to the effort Julia is going through to build a thriving freelance business. Here’s what we covered:

•  where she found her very first client and the kind of work resonated with her

•  how her background in social work makes her a better writer

•  the kind of work she does as an in-house copywriter at a University

•  how she learned to talk to customers and thicken her skin with a job in retail
