New Series … How'd You Meet Your First Client … Here's how copywriter and award-winning case study writer Elizabeth Tiernan met her first client … I had completed two AWAI courses (UX Copywriting and Site Content Audits) and was just starting to let people in my circle know that I am a writer. My son takes private art lessons and while attending an art show at his instructor's school, I ran into an acquaintance. I started telling her about my writing business and the owner of the art school overheard me. He said he needed someone to write articles for his newsletters and asked if I was interested. We brainstormed topics and I wrote several articles for him over the next six months. It was a great, low-stress way to start out by working with someone I already knew. Great advice, Elizabeth! Start by working with someone you know. How about you? I'd love to hear how you connected with your first client. Send your story to askkatie@awai.com with "First Client" in the subject line.
