Hi everyone!

I’m starting a podcast and want to share how daily journaling changed my life. Writing a few thoughts each day helped me reflect, stay disciplined, and discover what I truly want. It even kickstarted my copywriting journey! I began practicing daily, then reached out to businesses with my ideas—and it worked. Journaling is a powerful habit to track progress and stay accountable. Start today and see the difference it makes! Let me know your thoughts.

Bye for now!

It’s amazing the power that asking easy-to-answer questions can have on a community. It’s a great way to get nervous users more comfortable with engaging.

Anyone hire aresume writer? Thoughts on doing so?

3/26/22 check in🙌🙌. I’ll be going for my AM ride soon. What are your workout plans today?

Tumi Store in Mcnamara Terminal (DTW) is closing everything is 20% off.

Has anyone found success developing business or building their book? Specifically businesses (not individuals)? Looking for new ideas to get clients in the door.

does any one have tips and tricks on how to be a good interviewer? I'm finding it difficult to gauge someone just asking...tell me a little about yourself...

The mid-level associate who directly supervises me isn’t being responsive. I am worried about missing a deadline. Should I keep pinging him? Figure it out on my own? Reach out to someone above him?

Gotta love losing a referral bonus because the person didn’t show up their first day & decided not to quit their old job 🤯

Has anyone made a switch from Oracle HCM to workday at a senior level? Looking to move to industry at senior Director level (20+ years of experience in HR Tech/Oracle HCM/EBS) but majority jobs are in Workday and require workday experience even at very senior levels.

Just wondering, any Ismailis out here?

I am in a design/production role at a mid-sized agency. We currently only have one person on the digital team doing UX. I recently presented my manager with a proposal for a new position, UI Designer, that I want to move into.
I would love some advice on how to negotiate salary on a new position that doesn't current exist. How do you respond to an offer? What if they say it's a lateral move and don't offer me any additional compensation?

Recently joined and maybe a long shot: does anyone have insight or advice for condo buying in FT Lauderdale? Realtor and area recommendations?
This will be my secondary property until I can shift residency. Early 40s single. Looking at las olas condos at the moment. Thanks!

I’m a Canadian on a TN visa. Am I allowed to trade crypto on Robinhood? If so, can I trade the same coin multiple times in one day (day trading)? What tax implications would this have for me other than the standard capital gains considerations?

Robinhood just kicked me off their platform and I have no idea why. Now I need to quickly liquidate. Any recommendations to invest in mostly VOO without any fees and a nice UI for my phone? I need it to also connect to Mint.

Would any of you goofballs want to join an informal drinking group for copywriters who write non-advertising stuff like fiction, non-fiction, comedy, plays, poetry or whatever?

When non-ad ppl ask you what do you do? In terms of title; do you tell them “copywriter”? Or immediately assume they dont know and might confuse it with copyright infringement, and just end up telling them that you’re a writer or a creative director, and skip the hassle

Do creative directors have the power to ignore their copywriters and go with their own ideas?

Any recommendations for a course / resources on children's book writing / illustration?

I’m a copywriter and I’m shite at writing cover letters, which makes me feel like a fraud. Any other writers feel this way? Any advice?

Does anyone else balk a little bit when applying for jobs and the recruiter or job description mentions a lot of blog writing and other content like that?

I’m helping my friend put together a brand book for his startup. I’ve seen this go so many diff ways, but besides the design-related stuff, what exactly is important to include? Do I include a brand mission statement? Brand manifesto? Brand positioning? Brand tagline? Would love your thoughts.

If you are approached for copy position with a company called LadyBoss... RUN! I don’t know racket they’re running but they set up a video conf with a bunch of copywriters interviewing simultaneously.

I was hired to work on one account as the only writer. Told they’re handing me another account (or they may hire another writer). I need and want more responsibility and $$. How to negotiate??

I think it’s so crazy that once you sign-full time as a CW, you can’t freelance as well. Feels like there’s so many opportunities out there for freelance roles but the full-time gig steals us from them ☹️

Pivoting from copywriting to _____? Interested to hear from copywriters who are either considering or have already transitioned into a totally different or somewhat similar creative role.

I keep getting recruiters asking to apply for new roles, which is what I thought I wanted because I’m not growing at my agency. But I’m so fatigued I don’t even know if I want to stay in advertising. Have y’all left or took a break to do something different? What did you do?

Hi. I’m looking for a CA, OR, or WA-based writer who’d write blog posts for a product / lifestyle site about weed and west coast weed culture. Needs to be otherwise professional & willing to use name

LA! Hiring mid-level CWs and ADs! Must have video prod. exp. and be very conceptual.

Solos and teams apply!

What about using 3 one-word sentences as a slogan? I feel like it’s super played out, but I get suggestions for it all the time. Can’t we do better than mashing together words from the crestive brief?

RANT: People re-writing a cw’s stuff has always been painful. These days it’s far more common than when I started. It’d be one thing if they upgraded the work. If I learned from it. If I genuinely seethed with envy over their wit w/that perfectly placed semi-colon. People can’t re-art direct stuff bc they don’t know the programs so they ask the ADs for changes. Word and a keyboard made everyone think they can write. Which they can’t. Google Slides is Google slip ‘n slide into (bad ref. here.)

Trying to break into advertising, specifically copywriting.

Are there any programs, schools, or courses that I can complete online while also working full time? Thanks!

Shout out to everyone who’s ever had a white paper to “copyedit” that they just ended up rewriting entirely. I’m there today.

Today is supposed to be our “day off.” I always laugh when I see emails announcing special days off. What’s even funnier are the reminders about “half days.” Hilarious.
