I address the scary question of whether a freelance copywriter really needs to have their own contract with a client. I then go on to discuss whether a copywriter should sign an agreement provided by the client. I say "scary" because the idea of having a client sign a legal document before accepting a gig you're really excited about can feel that way. You wonder if you might lose the opportunity, or worse. Here’s what to do…

1. How to start an SEO copywriting
business
Do you really need a copywriting
contract?

2. Short answer: YES!
- A contract spells out the
terms and gets everyone on
the same page.
- A good contract protects
you - and protects your
client, too.
- If a client won’t sign one,
consider it a huge red flag
(and consider walking away.)

3. Should you sign your client’s contract?
- Maybe - although it’s good
to have your own contract.
- Don’t just blindly sign - no
matter how excited you are
about the gig.
- Always have your attorney
review your client’s contract
and make changes.
- See something you don’t
like? Speak up!
