Each month, I love to spotlight a copywriter in my Confident Copywriting group. A copywriter who should be on your radar.
Introducing…Branda Villacob
When did you start and what led you to copywriting?
I started blogging back in 2009, building websites and writing emails.
I started as a copywriter in 2022. I was teaching at the time, and I was miserable. I’d always loved writing, and I learned you could make money from writing for others! So, I started advertising my services and within 6 months, I went full-time.
I got deeper into copywriting after seeing some videos of Jo Wiebe from Copyhackers. And knowing people make a living from writing online stuff blew my mind to smithereens . That was back in 2018 (I think).
Who do you work with Branda?
I work with a lot of teacher business owners. These are often current teachers, those who sell to teachers, or teachers turned freelancers!
What’s your favourite part of the work you do?
I love seeing the results and being able to use my creativity. When my client has a successful launch or sells their services using my copy, it makes me feel ecstatic.
What work are you most proud of?
I’m most proud of my retainers. It’s easy to see launch copy and go, WOW a 10% conversion! The retainers are less flashy. But many of my clients have worked with me for a year (one of them is literally my first ever client). That says a lot – they’ve seen me through the evolution of my business and my growth as a writer, and they’ve stuck around.
What do you do when you’re not working?
I love to read, binge-watch Netflix, spend time outdoors, and workout.
How does Confident Copywriting (CC) add value to your copywriting work?
The community is amazing. Working from home and being a business owner can be really lonely. CC is a place I can turn to for advice, questions, or even just empathy. They get what you’re going through!
