Marketing OG, Nigel Stevens, is our guest for the 155th episode of The Copywriter Club Podcast. Nigel is in the middle of a move from Asia to Spain and we caught him as he was packing his bags to talk about the business he’s built, his experience in content marketing and SEO, and maybe most interesting… how to raise your prices and up level the clients you work with. Here’s what we covered… • how he turned an English degree into a position as the marketing OG • why he left a cushy job in San Francisco to create his best job • what it takes to build an agency from the ground up • the early days… how he started finding clients and growing his leverage • how he grew his confidence charging more money • value based pricing and getting better referrals • his discovery and proposal process and what he wants to learn • how to build your portfolio of clients (most copywriters won’t do this) • what’s working (and not working) right now in content marketing • how he figures out what kind of content to create for clients • what copywriters need to know about SEO (Nigel’s answer surprised us) • how he helps clients understand the right approach to SEO content • how he’s built his authority to engender trust with his clients • the future of content marketing It’s a good discussion that will get you thinking about the kind of business you’re building and the next steps.
