In This Episode: 

Today we’re chatting with Joel Klettke, who is a sought-after conversion copywriter and consultant.

With a background in entrepreneurship, Joel brings a strategic approach to building and scaling a writing business. He’s also great at teaching freelancers how to confidently sell their services and scale their business.

Today he runs Business Casual Copywriting where he’s helped clients like WP Engine and HubSpot double their conversions. He’s also the founder of Case Study Buddy, a done-for-you case studies service that helps companies capture, share, and cash in on customer success stories.

Building and scaling companies of this size is notoriously difficult, so today we’re asking Joel how he’s gone from profitable side-project to full-fledged company in a strategic way.

And stay tuned until the end for a hilarious side tangent about the evil nature of red tailed hawks.

Let’s dive in so Joel can tell you all about it.
