The Business of Writing Podcast


Jun 19, 2019

In this episode we’re chatting with Angie Colee.

 

She is not only a copywriter and talented storyteller, but she also leads the team over at Product Launch Formula with Jeff Walker.

 

Angie not only knows the ins and outs of writing content for those launches, but also all the many moving parts that go along with creating a big marketing piece like that.

 

But it wasn’t always that way. Before she became a writing and copy project superstar, Angie was a full-time, in-house copywriter at a corporate company.

 

When that didn't serve her anymore, she very courageously made the leap from the in-house writing  job to full time, successful freelancer…

 

... and along the way she has become an industry expert on dealing with head trash, finding your confidence as a writer, and 'doing it anyway' when you're scared.

 

Join us for some "raw talk" about that journey, and how you can learn from her experience.
