Q3. What forms of copy do you write?
SEO copywriting.
Which means I write for the people and optimize it for algorithm.
Most of my focus is on producing content that closes customers and is good for long-term brand. (???? BOFU/MOFU content)

And make content pillars for a brand.
Then I research cluster keywords around those pillars.

Q8. What would you say to a prospective client who wants to hire you?
If you haven’t figured your ICP yet (as is the case with seed and pre seed funded brands),
Don’t worry we will figure it out together.
We are in this for long term.
The most important thing is getting those first wins so you can show the world that your idea/brand is valid.
And close funding in the next VC round.
