Rob: What if you could hang out with seriously talented copywriters, and other experts, ask them about their successes and failures, their work processes and their habits, then steal an idea or two to inspire your own work. That’s what Kira and I do every week at the Copywriter Club Podcast.Kira: You’re invited to join the club for episode 39 as we chat with copywriter Jorden Roper about getting fired from bad jobs, and finding copywriting to pay the bills, using YouTube for brand building and outreach, what she has done differently from other copywriters to get an edge, and how copywriters can find great clients with cold emailing.

Rob: Hey, Kira. Hey, Jorden.Jorden: Hey, guys.

Kira: Hello. Welcome, Jorden.Jorden: Thank you. Thank you so much for having me.

Rob: Yeah. It’s about time. We’ve been trying to get you on the podcast for a little while. It’s time you got here.Jorden: Yes, I’m so excited to be here. Thank you so much.

I know a lot of people who are probably trying to break into freelance writing can relate to that, like just going to work every day, sitting in your car in the morning, and just wanting to scream or cry or whatever before you walk up to the office.That’s kind of the situation that I was in. I ended up getting fired from that job. Just a few months before that actually, my husband started working at the same job. When his contract ended, they decided to just let me go, too.

Kira: What?Jorden: Yeah, we’re both out of work on the same day.

Kira: Oh, no.Jorden: We walk out of the office together like, “Oh my God. What are we going to do? This is insane.” It was very stressful. Actually, I had some other stuff going on at the time, too, just within ... I think within the same week before this happened,
