13:00:07	 From Eva Hatzenbihler : Hello
13:00:29	 From Michael : Hey Ed!
13:01:01	 From Eva Hatzenbihler : January was good. Still collecting so not sure how panned out but busy
13:01:47	 From Michael : W:  Got updated game plan, website out for review, continuing WEP
13:02:06	 From Eva Hatzenbihler : We had a few things in place, so I don’t worry about it but yes, we are following profit first.
13:03:35	 From Eva Hatzenbihler : W: I wrote my first project for a large Real Estate software company and so far, the feedback is good. I also turned in an article for a mortgage company and the feedback so far is “this is us.” So I’m waiting to see if I get their 80 page website project.
13:03:35	 From Michelle Kaplan : Thank you!
13:03:51	 From Ryan : W-First round of Web Copy done. Continuing to prospect. Holding (pretty) consistent about keeping to my planned working hours. 
13:04:38	 From Eva Hatzenbihler : Nice! I am always inspired by those in the group with day jobs and building!
13:04:42	 From Michelle Kaplan : prospecting
13:05:07	 From Ryan : P-Qualifying leads
13:05:14	 From Michael : P - Prospecting
13:05:32	 From Eva Hatzenbihler : P: prospecting…always and refining my fees (just increased them another 20% on the last few quotes)
13:05:53	 From Eva Hatzenbihler : No real pushback
13:06:31	 From Michael : Q - Do you recommend professional liability coverage for freelance writers?
13:15:07	 From Ryan : Voice recording to transcription is a game changer in terms of efficiency. Otter.AI is a good (and affordable) option. 
13:20:57	 From patriciavisount : Came in late.. what is the list for?
13:21:19	 From patriciavisount : I’ve tried Otter as well. I like it!
13:21:21	 From Eva Hatzenbihler : When to implement a lead magnet into your marketing mix
13:21:42	 From Michael : Q- See my question above?
13:21:44	 From patriciavisount : Perfect! @Eva, thanks
13:22:14	 From Eva Hatzenbihler : @patriciavisount—welcome
13:22:19	 From Michelle Kaplan : Why not offer this client a package?
13:25:55	 From patriciavisount : I remember a podcast of yours where you interviewed a woman (Aussie) who was great at suggesting additional work for one client. She was contracted to do one article but she was able to either sell more to their contact or she had another contact with the same company to get more business. Is that ‘normal’? Or repeatable for others?
13:27:38	 From patriciavisount : Wonderful, thanks @Ed
13:33:51	 From Ryan : q
13:36:13	 From patriciavisount : I have to drop. Today is turning into a gong show…
13:37:01	 From Ryan : Q-I reached out to a prospect about an opportunity on LinkedIn. The contact came back with a favorable response but wanted a few more samples. However, she was forthright about the rate, but it was lower than I expected. From your experience, is it worth trying to "sell yourself" into a higher fee? Or is better to cut your losses and move on?

13:39:00	 From Ed Gandia : How to Grow Your Income by Going Deeper with Clients and Leveraging Your Key Relationships: https://b2blauncher.com/episode174/
13:46:34	 From patriciavisount : @ryan that’s a great question
13:58:26	 From Ilhan Kudeki : Q - I’ve got a couple of opportunities related to web copy and landing/sales pages. It’s not something I’ve worked on much in the past so I’m a little nervous about taking on these conversion copy projects. Any advice on the best mental frame to approach these with?
14:02:43	 From daniel.lamb : Totally agree with Ed here – jumping in the deep end requires some courage, but it’s the best way to get in and figure stuff out
14:04:06	 From Eva Hatzenbihler : I must be totally thick headed here, but I look at it from the perspective that they are not copywriters, and they need help. I at least know copywriting and marketing and will write it better than their best chance. So give it a go.
14:11:15	 From Eva Hatzenbihler : Always great advice, will have to catch the rest on replay. Thanks! Eva
14:15:32	 From daniel.lamb : Ok awesome, thanks Ed!
14:16:20	 From Ilhan Kudeki : T - Jump in and learn, draw from your courage to do so.
14:17:50	 From Ilhan Kudeki : Thanks Ed! always super helpful
