HOW TO GET LANDING PAGE WRITING GIGS

No. 4 can get you a gig before January 1st.

1. Find companies/startups that just got funded.

Go to:

♥ G2
♥ Capterra
♥ Product Hunt.

Look for B2B software companies that recently launched or got funding.

If you don't know how to navigate the platforms I listed above, you can also check the Gamms Spotlight section. You will see a lot of startups listed there.

Check their landing page (if they have one). If the page looks bad, there is a 60-80% chance they don't have a copywriter yet or the founder just needs an improvement.

These companies have money but haven't been hit with a lot of pitches yet.

Send them a message that mentions their actual page. For example, you can say something like:

"I noticed your headline talks about features instead of the results your customers actually want."

It's easy; don't overthink it.

2. Make free video breakdowns for newsletter creators.

Find people on Substack or LinkedIn who have 3,000+ followers and are also selling courses, templates, or tools.

Most of them have substandard sales pages because many of them are only good at writing content that educates, not sales copy.

Record a 2-minute Loom video breaking down their page.

Show them 3 specific things they could fix. About 60% will reply asking what you charge. Newsletter audiences buy things, so these clients see results fast and tell their friends about you.

3. Post before and after examples on social media.

@namyakhann on X does this well.

Every week, post screenshots comparing bad landing page headlines to better versions. Use real examples from big companies, not your clients. Don't write long explanations. The difference should be obvious.

Tag the company in a friendly way. This shows proof of what you can do without needing testimonials. People see your posts and think, "If they can improve Apple's page, they can definitely help me." You get people reaching out to you instead of you chasing them.

4. Become friends with designers and developers.

This is the best one for me.

Designers and developers get asked, "Can you write the copy too?" all the time.

Some don't really like the stress that comes with it. They want to design and code, not write headlines. If you become their referral partner, they send clients your way.

The client already trusts the designer, so you don't have to prove yourself from scratch.

Here's how to do it right:

Find designers and developers who work with the type of clients you want. Check Dribbble, Behance, or Twitter for people showing off landing page work. Look for SaaS, e-commerce, or whatever industry you want to work in.

Don't pitch them right away. Leave thoughtful comments on their work.

Ask real questions like

"The layout on this is really clean. How did you decide what to put above the fold on mobile?"

Build an actual relationship over a few weeks.

Once you're friendly, offer to write copy for their next portfolio piece for free. This gives them a complete case study to show potential clients.

Design plus copy. When people see the full package, they ask, "Who wrote the words?" Now you're getting introduced to clients you never even contacted.

You can also propose a simple partnership with 2 or 3 developers.

Offer to write landing page copy at a lower rate if they build the page. If you bring in the client, you split the project.

Thanks for reading till the end.
