\"Responding<\/a>
Responding to multiple copywriting revision requests<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Whenever I\u2019m negotiating a new project, I want to put my client at ease by telling them that I offer unlimited revisions.<\/p>\n

With that, I quickly add that no client in their right mind would want to unnecessarily delay their projects by repeatedly getting their copy revised.<\/p>\n

Yes, I actually use the phrase \u201cno client in their right mind\u201d.<\/p>\n

How often do I get clients who get in that revision spin and the project never seems to end, wasting my time in the process without making me extra money?<\/p>\n

It doesn\u2019t happen often so I\u2019m not worried if once or twice a year I get to work with such a client.<\/p>\n

Most of the clients come with a clear objective: they want to increase their sales or want a better KPI for their upcoming campaign.<\/p>\n

Most of the copywriting clients respect my time and are even ready to pay more if I need to spend extra time researching and reading their material.<\/p>\n

How do I handle multiple copywriting revision requests<\/h2>\n
\"Handling<\/a>
Handling multiple copywriting revision requeststhe<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

When I submit the first draft, I expect the client to give me some feedback.<\/p>\n

Statistically, 2\/5 clients ask for a revision.<\/p>\n

Most of the clients are satisfied with the first draft.<\/p>\n

In most of the cases, even when they request a revision, it is merely some factual information that needs to be changed \u2013 they didn\u2019t either provide the information in the beginning, or I misunderstood.<\/p>\n

Sometimes the client simply wants me to make some changes that they could have made themselves but somehow, they have this mentality that if they are making me write, even if they want to add a single phrase, they add it in the comments section of Google Docs instead of making changes within the copy.<\/p>\n

I find it annoying, but I don\u2019t take it personally and neither ask the client to make the changes on their own.<\/p>\n

I make those changes.<\/p>\n

If it takes me 5-10 minutes to change the document even when it was not my mistake and I was given wrong information or the client didn\u2019t properly explain what needed to be said, I revise the document without charging extra or without complaining.<\/p>\n

Even if the client completely doesn\u2019t like what I have written I gladly submit the second draft.<\/p>\n

If they don\u2019t like the second draft too, I politely reimburse the advance that I have taken and wash my hands off the project.<\/p>\n

I would like to stress that it happens only when, for example, I have written 1000 words and out of those 1000 words, the client doesn\u2019t like more than 500 words of text.<\/p>\n

Here are the reasons why this may happen:<\/p>\n
