This thread is for me and me alone, just to put all my pitches together and experiment.

Some pitches will fail woefully, so won't!!!

I'm not here sell or teach!

Just a thread for my personal experiment regarding my pitches!!!

You're welcome to criticize and guide me if you know better...

Cause I'd love to learn and improve!!!

Hey,

How is it going?

I'm applying in response to your ad.

I have written a mountain of cannabis-related articles, and have tried different strains to immerse myself.

I've also tried shrooms, but unfortunately, haven't gotten a demand to write about the wonderful world of psychedelics.

Until now...

It'd be awesome to work with you and help you generate the needed traffic while positioning your platform as an authority in the niche.

I know SEO like the back of my palms, cause that's what I've been doing for the past 7 years as a freelance writer and copywriter.

I have a lot of time on my hands, and I know I can take on this project and give you the best there is.

Reach me via email let's proceed: her*********@gmail.com

Best regards,
Henry.

Lemme share another pitch, which I sent to a client a week ago.

I'm yet to get a response... Do you know why?

Maybe I did something wrong or sounded appalling.

When it comes to the human nature, it's unpredictable. Some client's are hard to please.

It's a lesson you don't learn every day. Sometimes you fire your clients, just so you can grow.

I might be earning pennies of $0.10 - 0.20 per word, but that doesn't stop me dreaming to the rank of earning $1 per word.

It's all about growth, investing and improving in your craft, and learning to always pitch to your dream clients and publishers.

So, there goes a pitch which already was a colossal failure, or maybe not if the future proves otherwise.

Hi Sparrow, 

How is it going?

I'm applying in response to your ad on problogger.

Legal articles constitute 70% of projects I take on, ranging from personal injury, workers' comp, family law, real estate, and much more.

I've been writing in this exciting niche for three years, and I understand the goal of my clients which is to get prospects to book an appointment.

This I do by writing in a conversational and engaging voice while incorporating a persuasive call to action at the end of every piece.

I'm a creative at heart who's adept at research, and I am certain we can work together.

Don't worry about SEO optimization; it's a piece of cake for me.

Here are my most recent projects:

Do reach me via email so we can proceed: xxxxxxxxxxxxcx

Thanks & Best Regards,
Henry.

Just a few minutes ago, I got the project. This project will pay $0.06 per word

Tho poor, but I took it since per piece is over 1500 words, and long term too.

I also got another project, and it seems I'm going to have a somewhat busy weekend.

I share, only to inspire and prove that once you have the skill, or you need to make money is to pitch right, and to the right target.

Yep. How do we determine your work is worth that much?

How do you guarantee you are paid?

Worth?

As long as I was able to deliver as instructed, the client is obligated to pay the agreed rate.

My clients always pay tho, cause I go for targets whose problem is not money, but talents.

Once I deliver, they can kiss me, and throw more cash at me as a tip lol...
