In addition to my own consulting and writing work, I also offer a private coaching service to other writers and copywriters.
My input in based on almost 30 years of experience as a freelance writer, with various ups and downs along the way. (Thankfully, most of them were "ups".)
I'm a business-building coach.
My coaching service is focused on helping writers and copywriters build their freelance writing businesses. Although I can help my clients with their writing or copywriting skills, my main focus is on helping them become successful freelancers.
I help people build a stronger freelance business, make more money and enjoy their work more.
When you work with me, I'll help you set goals, get better aligned with your values, establish a clear niche, package and present your skills with clarity, and market yourself more effectively.
I can also work with you on your work habits and productivity issues.
But that's just the start of it. Each coaching client has different priorities, and I'll customize my input and advice based on your own specific needs.
“Over the past 10+ years, I've spent a lot of money and even more time trying to start a freelance career. In just 3 months of coaching with Nick, I've found my perfect niche, have a great website, have confidence in myself and my abilities and am meeting and talking with high profile clients. My dream of a profitable freelance career is finally becoming a reality. And I owe it to Nick and his dedication to my success.
Having Nick as a coach has been the absolute smartest thing I've done for my career. Thanks so much, Nick for believing in me and giving me the direction I needed to be successful. You're truly the best.”
Kendy Sproul
“Over thirty years of self-employment I have worked with quite a few consultants and Nick is by far the best. It is very rare to find a coach that is both very motivational as well as highly competent and Nick is one of those rare individuals. If you are just starting your freelance career or even an experienced writer going through some tough times you would be well served hiring Nick as your coach. I firmly believe that his knowledge of the industry coupled with his empathy and compassion has all but guaranteed my success. Thank you Nick.”
Alan Robinson
Who do I work with?
Some of my clients are just starting out. Others have been in business for five or ten years and want help with moving their business forward.
I even have one client who isn't really a writer at all. He just wants my input as a "virtual business partner" as he builds his online business.
"Nick's coaching has been incredibly valuable to me for several reasons. He has challenged me into clarifying my niche and how I articulate it – this is HUGE! He also has boosted my confidence and given me a very positive foundation – now I know I don’t have such an uphill battle for repositioning myself and earning more for what I do! I enjoy his sense of humor and down-to-earth demeanor. It’s been a perfect coaching match for me."
Pam Foster, Online Copywriter

“I was lucky enough to receive coaching under Nick for my Social Media consulting business. He was always willing to give of his time – no question too minor. He was very encouraging and eager to share his experience and knowledge. You can’t do better than Nick if you want help in growing your freelance business.”

"I want to say that after yesterday's call, I was just really, really happy with this coaching process I'm going thru with you. I hope you get as much satisfaction out of it as I'm getting. You are really, really good at this. I know we exchanged money for services but I honestly feel I've gotten far more than I ever expected. Far more. So thanks for being so good at this stuff..."

“Nick is a coach who goes far and beyond in what he does – he takes personal interest in your success, always ready with practical suggestions with the how-to and what-to tips that anyone can benefit, whether you are beginner or experienced business owner.
I started coaching without a clue on what I like to do, which niches to pursue and how to go about it. Nick provided lots of encouragements, suggestions and how-to ways to look for it until I found it. If I've not had Nick as my coach, I'll probably still be searching and wasting my time over it.
Now, I’ve a website focused on social media for retailers and fully equipped with his knowledge to meet my prospects and satisfy my clients.”
