I’m starting my own copywriting business now and have been looking for ways to get clients without spending a lot of money or cold-calling. I have toddlers too so finding quiet time to call during business hours would be impossible. This is very helpful, thanks for sharing. All the best with your business! Great post!

I have been in the web/graphic design industry for nearly 5 years and recently decided to branch out on my own. Word of Mouth has been great, but I needed a new way to market. This template has helped me "cold email" without being too wordy. Thank You! This post was very helpful.

I have been looking for something like this for a while. I work in financial planning from home. I need new clients all the time and can't really call a lot of people because I have a really busy 11 month-old at home. This will work! -Thanks Hello Theda!

Rogers Wed, 20 Feb 2008 01:59:01 +0000 http://www.hochstadt.com/how-to-get-new-clients-using-email#comment-472 Thanks for the great response, everyone. John: I agree you have to be careful not to come across 'cheap.' When or if I talk to the prospect, they quickly find out that my rates are reasonable, but not low. I think that's what you mean, right? Ling: I definitely don't mention my work-at-home status when I cold email. And if the client doesn't bring it up (they can find out about me from my blog), then I don't see a reason to bring it up. As far as the cold emails, I just use the script above, with very few variations. Popular Wealth: Thanks for the compliments! You don't really have to build an email list, though. I just send a few, maybe 5 or 10, and sometimes just 1 or 2, whenever I have a free moment to find a few email addresses. Since each email is personalized, I find it easier to do one by one. Don't let not having a whole bunch of emails at-the-ready stop you from starting to market, if that's what you want to do. You might happen to reach someone who needs you today, not when you have time to compile a list. Go for it! Kumo: Thanks for commenting. Simple and clear is definitely a must for my situation. Just answering these few comments took me a while with my daughter interrupting every minute or two. LOL! Thanks for the great response, everyone.

I've bookmarked it for future reference, I simply don't have time to begin an email list though it is on my to-do list. It's nice to see that you included c-span concerns into the article instead of focusing on simply how to get more from the recipients. Keep up the great writings! Excellent post!

I'd also add that you should not mention the 'work-at-home mom' part, at least in the first email. Also, don't use words like 'I think' or 'I guess', which leave an impression that you may or may not be able to do it. Just say that you can do it. Period. Useful article, Theda.

However, dependent on the industry and your services one has to be careful with positioning. You don't want to come across 'cheap'. Great to hear that it works for you. Great post with hands-on tips.
