Why Cold Pitching is the BEST Way to Get Freelance Writing Clients as a Beginner

Hey, stop this pitchin' business.

Cold pitching is way better than Upwork with most jobs on Upwork paying less than 0.03 per word. Bitch please!

"Why is this victorian gentleman sending me an email through a time machine?" Lol.

You’re funnnnn,,, definitely subscribing ❤️

How many days would you recommend between follow-ups?

You could also create a video on onboarding new clients, like your process once you get the desired ‘hired’ from the client. That would be really helpful 😍

Great content, Colleen!

Thanks very much!

Slowly making my way through all your videos! They're so good! I enjoy being called buddy at the start of the video haha 😄😄

And thank youuuuu ✨

Red looks so good on you...😍 Try wearing that colour more...

I just think you're really cool, Colleen.

I appreciate this video and I love, love, love your outfit!

I’ve noticed it can sometimes be tricky to find actual email addresses on business’s sites, any tips on finding email addresses for businesses that only have contact forms on their site?

Hey Colleen,
Thank you for the pitch template, I love that you added the follow-ups to it. I really appreciate that.

I noticed you majored in the beauty niche, that's the niche I love. Could you help me out with some tips for that niche? I am interested in this niche but do not have full experience in it.
Can I still make it?

Helpful advice with impromptu singing and a distraction squirrel? Subscribed! Thank you for this!

Hey, I've just started my cold pitching and have found all your content insanely helpful - so thanks! Just wondered if you had any tips for finding clients to cold pitch to, please. My niche is outdoor/adventure, and I've reached out to businesses I personally know, plus through Googling keywords, but it doesn't feel like the most efficient process. Would massivaely appreciate some advice!

I found you because I'm almost a year in as a freelance writer and blogger on Fiverr and upwork. As soon as you said Titanic, the greatest movie of all time! IMMEDIATELY I subscribed and I have found my place on your channel 🤣🤣 I'm a huge titaniac born on April 14 lol. So, hey girl!! And thanks so much for these videos because I definitely haven't been cold pitching. But I'm going to start.

I love your videos and the info you share! You and 2 other ladies are definitely my favorites.

Is it important to have a website to land clients in the beginning?

I really appreciated this video. I bought a cold mailing course from another YTer (before I found your videos) and i began to fear they were selling outdated strategy. They focused on cold pitching via LinkedIn. But I keep reading that they route is getting spammy/saturated.

I'm on fiverr and am dying to get off and make better money, so I'm going to have to launch my site and get my portfolio in order. That's an issue with fiverr - you work so much, you have little time to actually scale the business.

I shoot for a full launch by the end of the summer, my bday in Sept.

Thanks for all the content. I'll definitely get the kit.

Do you have SEO videos? That's a foreign language to me

Yes! This is super helpful and inspirational. Thank you so much.

Very useful video.Where do I find clients to pitch to?Thanks

Hey buddy! I pitched to a men's grooming brand and they said they were very impressed with my pitch & past work.
They invited me to do a paid trial which I gladly agreed to. I submitted my work and they paid me.
They told me they would review my work and let me know if they would like to work with me in the future.

How/when should I follow up on this?

-Your buddy, Umz

Helpful content!

Hope you could talk about whether clients should cover PayPal charges sometime.

Can you track opening and link clicks with a domain email? I have been cold pitching for a couple months. I've sent out about 150 emails (I need to follow up more). My Google analytics says that 55 of them went to my website. I've had 2 discovery calls and 3 others respond but didn't show up to the call. I'm just not sure where to improve my system because I'm not sure where I am losing people.

First, love your top and mint-y walls. They're giving Bridgerton. Second, where do I find clients to pitch to? Google? Social Media? All of the above?

THANK YOU SO MUCH ✨

Your content is SO helpful I can't thank you enough!! 💖

Why is this Victorian gentleman emailing me 😂
