 Welcome back to Writing Wednesdays, where I share content around helping you become a better writer and copywriter online. In today's video, I'm going to talk about how you can ethically make another 1k to 5k per month by writing for other businesses and the five best writing services that you can offer to help these businesses. So when I started Growth Response, which is my agency back in 2017, that's what we did. We would write campaigns, lead generation campaigns for other businesses to help them get new clients. And if you are starting a side hustle or your first online venture, I think that the best thing that you can do is get into the services space because you're working with businesses who already have a legit business. They're already have sales coming in and you're just helping them get more of those sales and get more of those customers. So I'm going to talk about what five services you should be offering if you want to get into freelance writing and make an extra 1k to 5k per month as your first online business or as a side hustle. That's exactly what we're going to talk about today. Now, before we get into these five services, I want to make it clear that the best writing services to offer are ones that increase sales or increase lead flow. Now, why is that? Because businesses, they want to make more money. And if you can help them make more money, they will pay you a lot of money. So every service that we're talking about here is designed to help other businesses generate more leads, generate more sales and increase the amount of revenue in their business. So with that being said, let's hop into the first one right now. So the first money making freelance writing service to offer is cold emails. And this is what I started with. So cold emails as a service. What are you doing there? You are writing emails up for other businesses in order to generate them a phone call, which leads to a closed deal, a closed client. So the best types of industries and niches to target for this, and I'll talk about niches in next week's video, are B2B companies, companies who sell products and services to other businesses. Now, the reason you don't want to target e-commerce companies who maybe sell physical products to a consumer is because their average price point or their average customer is not worth that much, right? It might be a hundred, $200, $500 at most. But in the B2B industry, we've had clients in the insurance industry, for example, where one client was worth over a million dollars for them. So can you imagine getting your client 10 phone calls, one of them leads to a sale or a new client, and that one client is worth millions of dollars, right? And that's happened for us, for our clients. So if you can do that for these businesses by sending cold emails and setting up phone calls, do you think that they would pay you, you know, a few thousand dollars a month to do that? Absolutely, right? If one client is worth hundreds of thousands, maybe even millions of dollars to them, they will pay you thousands of dollars per month to generate them phone calls, which will lead to that sale. So cold emails, it's what we started with, that growth response, cold emails, and the second thing that I'm going to talk about now, those are the two services that we started with. And with cold emails, you're just trying to generate a phone call with a potential client. Now, the second freelance writing service is LinkedIn lead generation messages. And this is what we started with in addition to cold emails, and we charged $1,500 to $3,000 per month, depending on what package the client took. And all we're doing with LinkedIn lead gen messages is pretty similar to cold emails. We're finding prospects that fit their ideal client profile. We're crafting a message and we're reaching out with the goal of trying to get that phone call. And that leads to a sale and a closed deal for our clients. Now, the problem with LinkedIn is it's getting a bit spammy these days. There's a lot of automation tools out there. There's a lot of people trying to get new clients and generate leads on LinkedIn. That doesn't mean it doesn't work, but your messaging has to be tight and you have to be working with clients, have a good reputation, a good product, a good service, because that's what's going to get the attention of prospects is when there's a good offer there. So LinkedIn, it's a bit harder these days from when I started, but it can still work as long as you can create good messages and you have a good offer to promote and your targeting is good. You're targeting the right people with that offer. So that is freelance writing service number two, LinkedIn lead gen campaigns. The third freelance writing service to offer is auto responder email sequences. So you can go to e-commerce companies or local businesses or anyone who sells things online and you can set up their automation sequences to sell more of their stuff and generate them leads and book them phone calls, whatever they're looking to do. So for example, you can go to an e-commerce company who's selling products online and you can help them set up their abandoned cart sequence, their welcome sequence to nurture new leads into customers of VIP sequence where you set up a sequence on the back end to convert one customer into a repeat buyer. So you can go in, you can create these packages of different auto responder sequences to offer and you can go in and write these sequences for these companies and get paid thousands of dollars for that. So we get paid 10 K plus to set up these auto responder sequences plus a percentage on the back end of whatever sales are generated from that. So that's a bit complicated for talking about right now, but auto responder email sequences, you can go to companies that don't already have this set up and make a huge impact on their sales just from setting up these automatic sequences from them. That's the freelance writing service number three freelance writing service. Number four is daily broadcast emails and you guys know I love email. Most of the services on this list are email based, but daily broadcast emails, all it is is you're picking a frequency every week. It doesn't need to be seven days a week. It could be three or five times a week and you're writing fresh emails based on the frequency that you send over to your client and they send it out to their list in order to generate more sales and build a relationship with their list. Now the caveat to this, it can work for any niche, right? Physical products, digital products, online courses, coaching, consulting software, we've done it for all of these industries. You need to work with clients who already have an existing list. You do not want to work with someone who's like, I'm just starting my list. I'm getting my first hundred subscribers. Can you do these daily emails for me? Don't do it. You're not going to get them results because they're just building their list. You want to work with people who have, I look for people who have a 5,000 or more subscribers on their email list. Do not work with people who are brand new. So the way you want to set this up is on a recurring basis. So the way you do that is you pick your frequency three, five, seven days a week on how many times you're going to write fresh new emails for your client and you charge a recurring fee for that however many emails that you're writing. So for us, we send five emails every week for our clients and they pay us $3,500 per month for that. Now, the reason that I love daily broadcast emails is because of this recurring component. So let's say you want to do auto responder emails. You set it up for a client. They pay you, you know, a few thousand dollars to set it up a one-time investment. You can have daily broadcast emails on the backend of that and say, hey, we set up these auto responder emails for you. Do you want us to nurture your audience on a daily, weekly, monthly basis in addition to these to get you even more sales and clients who are not already emailing frequently, let's say they're emailing once a month or something low like that, they're going to be inclined to take you up in this offer because you can actually generate more sales by emailing their list more frequently, which a lot of people and a lot of business owners they just don't have time to do. So you can come in here, you can set up this package, get paid on a recurring basis to send out daily emails to people who have these existing email lists. Freelance writing service number five is social media ghost writing. And I recently discovered this from following a guy named J.K. Molina. What he does, it's very interesting. He reaches out to personal brands and influencers and people looking to grow on Twitter. Maybe they came from a different platform when they're trying to grow their Twitter account and he charges $2,000 per month or something around there to write four to five tweets for other businesses and other individuals. So all he does is he gets the client, he interviews them, he learns more about their story, their personal and business stories, learns more about their motivations and anything that he can use to create tweets and content on their background and he logs into their profile and he writes four to five tweets per day for them and he gets paid $2,000 per month per client. And I know he's over 10K per month now with that ghost writing business. So very interesting model and it doesn't have to be on Twitter. If you're on LinkedIn, you can ghost write other people's LinkedIn posts. If you're on Facebook, you can ghost write other people's Facebook posts or Facebook group posts and ghost writing is basically you're going in on behalf of someone else's profile and you're posting or writing for them. So wherever there's a written component on a social media platform, you can go out and ghost write for them. I even know people who ghost write entire books and there's music producers who are music ghost writers who write songs for singers and people who produce songs. So ghost writing is a big industry. It's not talked about too much. I'm not really sure why, but social media ghost writing, if you're looking for freelance writing service to offer is an amazing place to actually start making recurring income as well. So if you were looking for a low-risk, low-cost way to start your first side hustle or your first online venture and make 1K to 5K per month ethically by helping other businesses increase their sales through writing, those were the five freelance writing services that I recommend you start with.
