The Cure for Burnout: Insights for Freelance Copywriters

By ashleygainer | May 28, 2024

If you’ve been wishing for a cure for burnout, you’re not alone. As freelance copywriters, we often juggle multiple projects, deadlines, and personal responsibilities, and sometimes it all gangs up on us at once. I’m no exception. Today, I’m sharing my personal journey of overcoming burnout and giving you my best (hard-won) advice for addressing […]

it happened again 😩

By ashleygainer | May 23, 2024

A couple weeks ago, one of the coil packs that sparks the spark plugs in my van crapped out on me. Broke down on the side of the road and everything. Great fun. So the guys at the shop were like… you can replace 1 for $400 or replace all 6 for $1500. I asked […]

kick-starting the weekend

By ashleygainer | May 22, 2024

When you’re a service provider, especially an online service provider, they say YOU are your most important client. In other words, whatever service you offer, you need to make sure you do your absolute best at THAT thing, for yourself. If you’re a copywriter, you need awesome website copy. If you’re an email person, you […]

running on that new skills energy

By ashleygainer | May 21, 2024

Judging by the response to yesterday’s email, I am not the only cranky grammarian lurking these hallowed halls. It’s good to be among my people 😅 So if you’re a freelancer like me, you are probably preparing for THE SHIFT. If you have kiddos in school, you probably have a couple of weeks left before […]

LAST CALL for the winners!

By ashleygainer | April 19, 2024

It’s Friday and my kids don’t have school, so for the second time in a week I slept in. I feel a little bit like a new person. And by “new person” I mean “bets are on me NOT ending up in the looney bin today.” Then again… I have the whole day with my […]

“we have a term for that”

By ashleygainer | April 18, 2024

Will’s neighborhood had a big community yard sale this past weekend, so the kids and I collected a bunch of stuff we would have otherwise donated and we went out for it. Let the kids keep all the money that came from their stuff, and gave them a hefty 50% commission on anything of ours […]

Thank you, Ashley! By following your advice I just got my first paying gig.

Without a website or any social media presence! I used the clips I created in Clips Camp and I just decided to go for it. I would not have taken these steps to launch my freelance business without your guidance. You are so real and honest about your journey; you made freelance writing seem possible. And now it is possible for me. I have never felt more confident in myself and my abilities!

Your classes, Facebook group, Instagram, and just general approachability have really driven me to want to succeed at this.

It feels like someone is in my corner all the time. Thanks for your mentoring- keep up the great work!!

I finally found a freelance writer/course creator I could personally relate to

I've been looking into freelance writing for over a year now. There's a lot of information out there and a lot of people who claim to be able to teach the "best" way to go about being a writer…. I prefer your down-to-earth style of teaching.
