I had a quick freelance job and am now invoicing. Do you itemize each portion of the project? E.g., About page - X hours, product descriptions - Y hours? Or just “All your stuff - ZZ hours”??

Share your best work tips and tricks! For example, I recently spent about an hour setting up rules in Outlook to auto-filter junk emails and non-urgent emails (client alerts, data room notifications, bar association emails, etc.) into a separate folder that I can check a couple times a day. Don’t know how I didn’t think to do this years ago, but that’s about 50 fewer distractions each day since I’m one of those people who checks every email notification.

How do you sell an opportunity to the client? What documents do you use?

Can we talk about how every time you’re looking for a new job or clients, it feels like it takes a calendar year to update every portfolio, website, online profile for consistency? For good measure, I even let my grandma know of the changes, but I’m sure people will still find my first school project out there somewhere…

Any advice on shifting towards the manager role? I’m finding it hard to maintain focus and energy with IM questions (interruptions) from the team and others and with reviewing / driving progress on the parts of my project scope that I enjoy doing less myself to begin with ?

Anyone have any luck going client side? What are your tips/successes when approaching the transition?

Hello,

Anyone working in UBS here. Need a referral.

Thank you!

For 5 years I basically had 10 frequent clients. Now those clients have brought me an average of two each, and now I have 30 constant clients and a bunch of clientele in my agency. It's true that serious, responsible, and consistent work pays off, let's say that I no longer worry about selling, practically, the houses that I show sell themselves.

I read this super interesting article about how big companies like Toyota are investing in social-emotional training for their employees and seeing massive benefits. I actually think this could be a whole separate class for students of all ages. Learning about conflict resolution, growing your own self-regulation skills...it's really important.

Hey got a question for anyone and everyone! My sister is looking for a job. She’s been out of the job market for a while (5 years) to be a stay at home mom and with the economy, is looking to get back in it. My job isn’t hiring. Qualifications in comments

What would you recommend doing with extra cash after max 401k and IRA? Open a brokerage account and continue to invest in the market or diversify into real estate/small business? Total noob btw...

Applied to a fed job and submitted my DD214 member 1 form (needs to be member 4 form) for vet preference. Was told I’m ineligible for vet preference because of this error. How can I send in member 4?

Is anybody here a notary? And how much are you making from that? Is it a potential side-hustle?

Hey Everyone!

I’m on the Community Team here at Fishbowl and just wanted to drop in to see how we can possibly support your community. We love this bowl and want to see it thrive!

Are there threads, initiatives, or conversation drivers you’d like to see? Resources? Topics you’d love to see featured? People you’d love to have for Q&A’s? 

What would make this bowl a go-to for you? 

Let me know how I can help!

What would you like your CD to do to help you with your craft (beyond feedback on your project work)? Obviously assume no training budget at this crazy time.

Is there a good editing service out there or a peer review place? I’ve got some long-form copy stuff that I am working on for my book. Normally, I’d ask someone in my agency to look it over.

Question for CD copywriters out there... does your AD partner like to get involved in creative directing your scratch tracks? Telling you what your inflections should be, etc?

Today I started a new gig with a new AD partner. He’s smart, contributed tons of great ideas (concepts AND lines), and he’s respectful and collaborative. I won the AD lottery today!

What are some of the best manifestos you’ve seen? Any sites that collect the best of the best?

Just saw an ACD/Copy job advertised at 80k. That’s low, right? I hope? Even in Atlanta?

Saw this in a another bowl but wanted to ask here. For those fish that are in their 30’s and up, what advice would you give your 20 something self?

I'm interested in expanding into the healthcare niche. I have a lot of B2B experience, but not in healthcare/pharma. Any tips?

What positions merge copywriting and brand manager roles?

Realizing I lowballed myself moving to a big city from a smaller one in terms of salary. Now I’m up for a promotion... but average salary for that is 40k more - do I dare ask?! Or am I screwed?

Does anyone have a favorite “About Me” section they can drop in the comments? So many are awkward or too long or trying to be funny. I’m looking for inspiration. Thanks!

Does anyone know if there’s a hiring freeze at Pinterest? I was interviewing there but haven’t heard anything in a couple of weeks

Would jumping to in-house for a ~40% raise, worth it? It’s a software company that seems a bit dated and boring tbh so I’m worried I’d burn myself out but the pay is attractive. Would it be a bad move to leverage the offer to try to get my current agency to even meet me halfway? We’re doing okay financially now and I’ve been there for a year. I like the work and the people but it’s very disorganized which is beyond frustrating. In-house seems more structured but likely less creative.

I just want to put something positive out today. I had a freelance gig come my way and I threw (what I thought) was an insane $ at them and they said yes 😭. Bless up. Haha I’m so pumped

Senior CWs, what are some signs that your role/work/skills are being undermined?

Gimme all the red flags whether it’s clients, art directors, accounts, creative directors/management, legal (lol), social media managers etc.

What resources do you use to find freelance work?

aside from doing your job well, what are other things you said you brought to the table when asking for a pay bump?

i’m a jr who’s been told they’re a hard worker and that they’re working at a mid’s level but i feel like i need to walk in with more than that as a justification.

You know how if a designer is stuck they like go to Behance & immediately get inspired. What are some go to places for writers? I’m stuck on a manifesto. And I hate my life.

Book recommendations for helping to re-light the fire under my ass for big ideas/remembering why you got into copywriting?
