clickworthy copy
for your website + emails
I kill your boring brand voice and replace it with an unignorable messaging and personality that makes your ideal customers think: “hey, here’s a brand that actually talks like a real, fuggin person who actually gets it. They get me. Finally.”
houston... we have a problem
I feel your pain. I can see it etched all over your website’s sorry looking face. I know what you’re about to say…

“My business is doing alright, but my website is boring. It looks like a relic from the 90s. And most people don’t even open our emails.”

“We took a crack at writing the site and emails ourselves, but the copy is sending people running for the hills. It makes my eyes bleed.”

“A few years back, we dropped a fortune on a new site, but it generates zero leads. If we’re honest, we skipped the voice of customer research.”

“We need more leads. We have a great offer and a huge email list going to waste. Our sloppy copy is the bottleneck!”
damn it cj, get out of my head! just tell me, how can you help?
First – the bad news.
I don’t have the flux capacitor. We can’t travel back in time to fix an old hack job.
When you work with me, the only way is forward. We’re not going to waste time trying to polish a dead horse.
Instead, we wipe the slate clean and start over.
If you’ve already dropped a small fortune on a site nobody but your mom or the company accountant reads, you’re probably wary of dipping your toes again.
But here’s the difference when you work with a copywriter like me.

a copywriter that takes the goddamn time to get to know your business, your customers, and your goals:
- Your team wastes less time chasing half-baked leads and has more time to focus on prospects who are already qualified and ready to do business.
- Your brand voice is consistent with your vision and aligns with your customers’ struggles, helping you forge stronger relationships, and lay siege to your market.
- Your business stands out from the pack as an innovator that dares to push boundaries with a website free from all the stiff corporate-speak and well-worn, empty clichés that pollute your market.

Never missed a deadline and we rarely needed a second draft
Not only did he take the time to understand our business model and our target audience, but CJ also made it easy to work with. In years of working, he has never missed a deadline and we rarely needed a second draft. I am looking to working with him in the future.

A meticulous researcher and talented writer
To be frank, many writers make it extremely difficult for me to NOT poke my eyeballs out with my red pencil. Not so with CJ! He is a meticulous researcher, talented writer, and a super easy person to work with. He has written a handful of articles for Single Grain and most are on the first page of the SERPs — or even at #1! Would not hesitate to recommend him for your content needs!

you want the truth? here it is.
No. That dynamic could backfire on either one of us. You could pay too much because good ideas took much longer to emerge than I expected, or I could lose out if they don’t. You’ll be paying for timeless value, so there’s no stop clocks involved.
You want words. I give you words. Lots of business words. Cheap and fast and optimized words. You buy now?
Err, no. Maybe not.
Architects don’t sell bricks. Strategists don’t sell actions. Paying copywriters by the word is the fast lane to fluffy, padded copy devoid of all intelligent strategy, data-driven analysis, and creative thought.
Yes. If we’re aligned on timelines, budget, and processes, I’m sure we can strike a deal that works for both of us.
Indeed I do. Most of my blog work is ghostwriting. But here’s the truth: Writers thrive on bylines – it’s how we grow.
If you’re so kind as to offer a byline for this humble writer, where you publish my name and a backlink with the final piece, you get the same top quality for a little less.
If you’d prefer to show it as someone else’s work, that’s totally cool. Just know, I’ll charge you a little on top to cover the loss of writing credit.
In a nutshell, my blog rates include the following:
🎯 Topic Research
🎯 Competitor Analysis
🎯 Article Outline
🎯 Draft Writing
🎯 SEO spit-polish
🎯 Citations/Links
🎯 Proofreading
🎯 Editing (3x full rounds)
🎯 Admin/Email communications
Discounts are available for batch projects and long-term arrangements with regular, consistent workflows.
As a writer, I rather focus on what I do best. If you don’t have someone to care for graphics in your business, you might need me to include images (or at the very least, image suggestions to help out your editor). In such cases, I can go the extra mile….but the gas ain’t free.
As of May 2021, no. Maybe someday, but I’ll let you know well in advance. No nasty surprises – I promise.
It’s rare, and highly unlikely that I’ll be far off the mark with a first draft because we’ll have hashed out a clear scope before starting.
But, my rates include two full rounds of revisions, so it’s just a matter of collaborative feedback to get things sorted.
It’s unlikely. Typically, I’m booked 2-3 weeks out, with preference given to regular clients. Even if I was free, I would strongly advise against rushed writing. Did you not see the end of Game of Thrones?!
If you absolutely must have your content ASAP, I might be able to help if I reshuffle my schedule, delay some other clients, and burn the midnight oil while my partner soldiers on with our baby. However, in this case, you can expect a 20% rush fee to compensate for the inconvenience (and cost of apology bath bombs and chocolates).
My quotes are based on our agreed scope. For big projects and retainers, we’ll sign a contract that confirms we’re on the same page. Minor changes and revisions are permissible – but if there are significant deviations from the original scope, that’s billable.
If for any reason, you need to cancel a project that I’ve already started, I’ll invoice you for a 50% kill fee for the assassin I send after you to cover the time and effort I’ve already invested, as well as any lost income from opportunities I turned down while engaged with your doomed project.
If we’ve worked together before, or if it’s a small project, I’ll send a single invoice at the end of the month for all projects delivered in that month.
Otherwise, for new clients and larger projects, I’ll send you two invoices:
Invoice #1 – 50% advance deposit. Sent before the project begins. Due immediately (before we start working).
Invoice #2 – The remaining 50%. Sent when the project is done. Due within 15 days.
Bank transfer is preferred. I recommend Wise. It takes a few minutes to set up at first, then it’s quick, and easy payments going forward.
