Whatever your reason for contacting me, I’m sure you want to know more about me before hiring me to write for you. I know if it were me, I would have a few questions. So, I’ll answer some immediately, and hopefully put your mind at ease.

What are your qualifications? I have written marketing materials and content for natural health. I am a published author and have a diet booklet going to print in 2018. As a 20-year owner of a subtropical nursery, I write a monthly newsletter and sit on the board for our local fruit council's yearly plant sale. I do the advertising for the sale, which grossed over six figures (up 20%) my first year. I have 20-plus years in the natural health field, including 6-years as manager of a Chiropractor’s office which supplied supplements. I am knowledgeable of the Dietary Supplement Health Education Act (DSHEA). 

Do you have a background in freelance and direct response? I have been with American Writers and Artists, Inc. since 2015.  Ongoing, educational classes with AWAI continue to sharpen my skills. I’ve also taken creative writing and studies at the local tech school, through Hubspot, Copywriter Marketer, Simple Path, and Hootsuite webinars, as well as other various training platforms and college courses. I am a member of AWAI’s Circle of Success and a member of the Professional Writers’ Alliance.As a published author I’ve written articles for The Barefoot Writer magazine. I also write a monthly article and edit a newsletter on subtropical plants. For 6-years, I wrote content and managed a doctor's office that supplied supplements.  A diet booklet for pets will be published in 2018. I am a 15-year owner of a subtropical nursery and have owned and operated two organic co-ops. 

What do you know about customer service in the public relations area? My earliest PR work can be quantified by the number of accolades I received in my job  with Florida Power and Light. It is here where I also received training in public speaking and customer service. As a key player in my department, I served on many brainstorming (mastermind) groups. These groups helped propel FPL to become the first non-Japanese winner of the coveted Deming award.Clients are my first loyalty, but I elevate your customers’ as well, realizing that without them I wouldn’t have you. 

What kinds of assignments do you handle? The alternative health field is my niche. I write long copy sales letters, emails, blogs, newsletters, booklets, marketing materials, and case studies. If there is something you need that is not listed here or on my Services and Fees page, please ask. If I can't help you, I will refer you to someone who can.  

• I find your audience - the 20% who are spending 80% on your product 
• I find out what their pain points are - what’s keeping them up at night
• I find your Unique Selling Proposition (USP)
• I find your voice and customer persona, making a cohesive link

Do you offer some consulting and social media services? Yes, I do offer consulting. Every project includes it. As far as social media, this depends on what you need. I always start the campaign with a questionnaire.  After the first consult, it fills in a lot of the blanks - both for you and me. 

Do you offer site critiques?  Yes.I will be glad to offer my professional opinion. I am happy to give your site a content critique. I can also check on your keywords and long-tail keyword phrases, and help with your internal/external links, which all help to up your SEO results.

What do you charge? My  prices are based on industry standards, and every project is different. After our first meeting I will know more about what you need, and I will be able to give you a price. I also have some pricing suggestions in my Services and Investment section of the Systems Package below. I charge by the job, not the hour. You will get everything included, and up to two revisions at no extra charge. 

How much time does it take to write my copy?  This depends on what you want. Long copy sales letters and booklets take the longest. A series of emails would take a shorter amount of time. I can give you a time frame after reviewing the completed questionnaire. There is an estimation of times in my systems packet included below.

Do you include revisions and accept feedback? Yes!  I have a complete outline of my process in the systems packet. It also  gives you my revision process. I not only accept feedback but encourage it.  Expect to have some editing after the first draft. It is very common. For some projects, I will write more than one headline.
