"... No, I’m not offering to write copy for entire websites free of charge. What I am considering is to take a look at your homepage, marketing sheet, mass email, elevator pitch, or whatever other single item you need the most help on, and refine / polish it ..."

Hey Zac this is an interesting idea but looking at your contact suggestion and work flow:

- intro email

- detail of requirements (clear idea of company & wants)

- your analysis (is it worth doing)

would it not be better to find a way to mechanise this where a potential client enters these details into a form (using http://www.google.com/url?q=http://wufoo.com/about for example) then letting the client see the progress? If there is one way to build a project it would to be build an App that allows writers and people who want stuff written about them to meet.

An example of this process I have in mind is http://99designs.com/ where designers pitch for a clients brief. The advantage of this approach is the client is required to pay upfront a fixed fee.
