Overview of My Project Process

Contact and Communication Policies

1. I am available everyday via Email [email protected]. I can also be reached by phone:

The following pages explain my writing proces5, from start of project to payment of invoice. If youhave any questions, please send me an email at [email protected] or give me a call at(224) 532-6256. Thank you for the opportunity to be a part of your project.

As a professional copywriter; it is important to be available and have open line5 of communication.Below are the best options for reaching me:

• Monday thru Thursday from 4pm —8pm.• Or anytime; if you leave a message. I will return your call in a very timely manner.

3. Ongoing Communication is important during the entire process:• How often do you want to communicate on the project details.• What is the best form of communication for you.• A single point of contact on your team would be beneficial to keep the flow going and

will obtain needed information and approvals.

Discovery Questionnaire (DQ)As we begin to work together; I’ll send you a Discovery Questionnaire via email. The questionnaire helpsus both to understand your expectations of what I’ll be writing about and provides the scope of theproject before us.

Please answer the questions and return it to me as quickly as possible; between 2—4 business dayspreferred. I’ll review your responses to the questions in addition to any other information or material yousend me related to the project. I’ll put together a brief outline to clarify that we are on the same page inregard to the project you have in mind.

After you have had a chance to review the outline, we can schedule a 15- or 20-minute phone call to goover things more in depth. We can discuss any additional directions or insights you might have at thattime as well. Following the call, I will send a Proposal.

0

Proposal to ContractAfter our initial discussion, I’ll write up a proposal which will include a project description, deliverables,exclusions, due dates, writing fee5 and terms of payment and any other pertinent information.Basically, everything needed to complete the job. (Please Note: I require 50% of the project total inorder to begin. Some clients prefer to pay by bank wire or overnight payment.)

Filling out the DO will help us to determine how the project should proceed and what it will entail interms of research and any other data required. I’ll be able to understand the goals you have in mind andexactly what is needed for your project or campaign.

After you review the proposal, I’ll answer any questions you have. We can work together on anychanges you might need.

When you’re satisfied that the terms meet your needs, sign it and either mail or email it back to me.The signed agreement will serve as a contract between us, unless otherwise indicated. The agreementwill also set the due date for the final draft. Once payment is received and we have both signed theProposal Agreement, I will begin working on your copy.

The Project Scope and DetailsI’ll take any base materials and research suggestions you provide, plus my own research, and begincreating a project outline. I will contact you if I have any further questions or suggestions about theproject during this time. Prompt responses by both parties will help keep the project on track.

After I complete the rough draft, I usually set it aside for a day or two before reviewing and editingwith fresh eyes. Then I’ll send you the “first draft” for review.

Please check the draft for accuracy and add any revisions you might want to include. Remember thatalthough writing is essentially complete at this point, this first draft is not the final deliverable. The finaldeliverable(s) will include your feedback and changes.

Client Investment - Fee Payment Schedule, Kill Fees and Retainer AgreementsTo preserve integrity and continuity, I have a standardized Fee Schedule included in my info packet,which can be amended, if need be.

Retainer AgreementsMonthly payments to be made in full and in advance, before I can begin any work for that month.

Kill FeeIf you cancel or put the project on hold once work has begun, a kill fee may be applied. This fee is forcopywriting and/or research, which we define as creating text for promotional material from contentprovided by the client.

PaymentsIf payment is made by check or money order, it should be made out to Liz Nellis - DBA The CopywritingArchitect. Referencing the job in the check memo will help me properly credit your account. The check ormoney order should be mailed to the address at the top of this document.

Other payment options may be available, particularly for businesses outside the United States.Please contact me if you have a question about payment options. As mentioned above, after initialpayment has cleared, I can begin work.

Small Projects —

$1000 or less —full payment is due upfront before I begin research. If the project is cancelled beforecompletion, I retain half of the collected fee as a ‘kill fee” The remainder of the collected fee will berefunded to you (normally via check) within two to four weeks of the cancellation. If the project iscancelled after the work has been submitted to you, the remainder of the fee is not refundable.

Large Projects —

$1,001 and up — requires a 50% payment before work commences unless otherwise negotiated. Theremaining 50% will be due and payable upon delivery of the first draft or project due date, whichevercomes first. Note you can still request revisions, as described above.

As with smallerjobs, I will retain half of the total fee — the first payment — in the event the project iscancelled. This is to cover work and expenses already incurred.

ResearchResearch is a key function for every writing project; be it copywriting or landing page design. Myresearch process is very comprehensive:

• A complete review of everything you can provide about your company, current andprospective customers.

• A thorough audit of your website and any other materials you provide.• Extensive market research, including your competitors.• There may be a need to interview your customer service team, possibly past

clients/customers, and/or different department heads.• If needed, I will contact you for additional details, product samples, and/or other

resources.

You can be confident that my research will allow me to understand your product better, learn yourunique voice, and discover what core emotion drives your customers to make a purchase.

Reviews - Revisions and Drafts

Review of First Draft• Typically, you’ll receive the first draft within 7 — 10 business days (depending on

project size and scope).• Everyone involved will need to carefully review the first draft.• The main objective is to set up the message, tone and offer to verify things are sound

and correct.• We can fine tune in the next drafts (2 and/or 3r9 as needed.• To ensure integrity, the first draft will be in PDF mode. Print it, make any changes and

scan/email back to me.

RevisionsIf there are revisions needed, they must be requested no later than 30 days after the project hasbegun and prior to final approval.

• Two revisions are included in the quoted price that you will receive. Additionalrevisions will be charged accordingly.

• Review of your requested changes within 48 hours• Changes will be made in an additional 2—4 business days (depending upon the

complexity of revisions).• Keep in mind your suggested changes may not be favorable to that bottom line. The

results of your bottom line will be very telling in the market you’re trying to reach• If I feel that certain revisions won’t work in the market, but client insists; I will

suggest an A/B split to let the market decide.

Final Approval - Deliverables and RevisionsYou can request revisions one more time during the 30-day period after I deliver the drafts. Theserevisions may be minor (spelling, punctuation, minor changes to sentence or paragraphs) orintermediate (rewriting of some paragraphs or pages for clarity).

I will send you the final draft on or before the project due date. Since; up to this point we should haveprovided each other timely feedback, this draft should meet your expectations. After your finalapproval send me an email stating the project is ready for distribution.

If you require revisions after the 30-day period, we will negotiate an appropriate fee at that time. Allthat being said, it’s my goal for us to work together to meet your satisfaction. Just contact me andwe’ll discuss it to find an equitable solution.

• When all revisions have been completed to your satisfaction, you will receive a cleancopy of the final draft in a Word document so your Graphic Designer can make theirenhancements.

• You approve the copy via email stating “1 approve the copy for {Name of Project)”, withyour email signature.

• Once I receive your final approval, I’ll send the final invoice for the remaining 50%balance of the project.

• All invoices are due upon receipt.• Throughout the course of this project, I will be very diligent and prompt to meet

your every need as a professional.• It is my expectation that you will return the courtesy regarding my invoice, which

is greatly appreciated.• Usually my final copy is not the final product and is scheduled to be adjusted by

your graphic designer.• I strongly encourage you to forward a copy of the completed PDF to me. I would like

to make sure that the design enhances the copy rather than the opposite effect.• It’s my mission to ensure that the completed package is positively impactful.• At your request, I’ll be more than happy to work with the graphic design team to

ensure the copy’s ultimate effectiveness.

Once the project is done, provide all my clients a complimentary follow-up consultation if desired.It is helpful to evaluate: What went well? Where can improvements be made? Usually this can beaccomplished through a brief phone call.

We will also review the Discovery Questionnaire again and discuss additional copywriting projects thatlead to new profits. We can map out a new project to ensure that you continue to have excellent copythat meets your goals and grows your business.

Copyright ownership and promotional useYour writing project is for your use — of course! However, I retain all ownership rights until I receive andclearfinal payment. You may not use any of the material I’ve written until payment is made, unless we’veagreed otherwise.

For example, in retainer agreements (e.g., ongoing blog posts), you may use the material when youreceive it as long as our fee arrangement is upheld.

In any case, unless stated otherwise in our signed agreement, I retain the non-exclusive right to use anywork I produce for self-promotion of my copywriting business. In cases where my work is attributed toyou or one of your employees (“ghostwriting”), use of such works in my portfolio will be indirect (nomention of company name, no unscrambled URL5) or upon private request only.

Guarantee disclaimersNo reputable copywriter will make wild claims or guarantee specific results for any particular project.

There are too many factors involved that are beyond my control and yours.

But I will promise to work with you every step of the way, and to complete your project to the best ofmy ability and to your satisfaction, every time.

Legal disclaimerI’m not an attorney nor do I have any professional legal background. That being said, I can’t advise youon the legality of your products, claims and ideas. If I feel that something is questionable, I will bring itto your attention.

As owner and publisher of the work(s), the accuracy of information you provide me is yourresponsibility. This includes data about your product or service, and any other facts, figures or claims tobe used in my copy. The same goes for fact-checking the final deliverables.

As such, my fee agreement contains standard indemnity clauses. In essence, I can’t be held legallyresponsible for damages suffered by your customers as a result stemming from your offer or theinformation you provide.

I strongly advise that you consult a qualified legal advisor if you have any questions regarding thesuitability and/or legality of the offer, information, product or content of what you’re selling orproviding.

Project LaunchI hope you’ve found this document thorough and helpful, yet not too overwhelming. My goal is to

explain a bit about what you can expect when we work together. Thank you again for the opportunityto be part of your writing project.

“The Perfect Way to Make Tonight Awesome Tender Ribsor a Big Juicy Burger, Fish and Chips or just Appies and a Cold

Draft Beer”

Dear Michael,

Got any plans for dinner tonight? Are you in the mood for a quiet dinner with the family? Or an evening

out with the guys? Perhaps you want a nice place to hold a group meeting? Have I got the place for you,

a great little joint in my neighborhood. The food is delicious and the cheery atmosphere is hard to beat.

Take a seat and relax by the fireplace while you soak up the ambience. You’re gonna love it!

It’s called “Brandt’s of Palatine” Formerly Brand’ts Little Café and it was founded in an old family

farmhouse in 1946. It’s a small place but is as comfy and warm as your grandmothers’ kitchen. The cook

even makes the salad dressings and barbeque sauce from scratch, just like grandma used to do. They have

recently completed renovations and now have more seating downstairs with 2 TV’s available so you can

watch your team WIN while you enjoy your meal. They also added a small room on the side for private

parties.

A Menu with Something for Everyone

If you’re like me you’ll go for the house specialty — ribs. They’re so moist the meat simply falls off the

bones, yummy. They may have revamped their menu but they still offer steak and jumbo fried shrimp.

Just check out the specials board on the wall. They are also famous for their 14 lb. hamburgers cooked to

order served with your choice of cheese and other fun toppings as well as a choice of bun or you can

choose to have the fish and chips which is tender and flaky. Or perhaps you would prefer a delicious

sandwich or wrap? The possibilities are Endless in here.

If you’re really hungry, you could order a combo plate — half slab and fried shrimp or half slab and mini

burgers etc....add a salad with that delicious homemade dressing and a nice hot baked potato on the

side with butter and sour cream and you’ve got a terrific meal. If you’re in the mood for a smaller meal

why not try a few of the appetizers. They have some new and exciting options like sliders, wings (bone-in

and boneless), chicken quesadillas, jumbo soft pretzels and steak empanadas as well as the original

offerings of fried mushrooms, cheese sticks and calamari.

A Great Atmosphere and Those Little Extra Touches

Oh yeah, can’t forget about Ed the bartender, he’s been serving up tall cold draft beer for as long as I

can remember. You’ll love the old tavern atmosphere and the hostess and all the servers are just great,

they treat you like an old friend. You get service with a smile every time.

Got a birthday coming up? You’ll definitely want the little cake they offer for the birthday boy or girl. It’s

a wonderfully moist chocolate cake with buttercream frosting, just delicious. Brandt’s’ is a great place to

go to celebrate any occasion or just to relax after a hard day at work.

Plus, don’t forget during the warmer months you can have your meal a) fresco...you can relax on the

terrace in the summertime and enjoy your meal under the stars. Can’t you just picture it now? The gang

together, laughing and enjoying each other’s company along with a great meal.

“Great burgers and tasty cheese curds!!! The service was great!!!! This building has some historygoing way back to Prohibition!!”

Noel P—Chicago, IL

“Stumbled onto this place last minute. Had a build your own burger. Pretzel bread, egg,bacon. Huge delicious with side of steak fries and Cole slaw. Amy was our waitress and she was

great, helpful and friendly. My friend had fried chicken sandwich that he said was one of hisbest. I’d go back!”

Christopher W — Los Angeles, CA

“When your goal isa great burger and something cold, this is your destination. Yes, it’scrowded. And loud. But the servers move quickly and efficiently, which is all you’re really afterfor a burger fix. NOT a first date place. NOT a last date place. Just good food and fun.”

Patsy U — Arlington Heights, IL

“A mighty tasty burger, served on rye with great fries. I wish I could have had a beer with it! Butit was lunch time and I had to work. A great American Roadhouse!”

Zach A — Chicago, IL

Brandt’s new owners, same award-winning food

By Steve Dolinsky - Channel 7 Eyewitness News Review (condensed)

September 14, 2013 (PALATINE, Ill.)—

Brandt’s of Palatine has seen generations of locals come and go over the years. and afternew owners rescued the business from creditors this past year. the burgers are as solid asever.

“But it was actually a farmhouse out where Al Capone had his hideout over in Invernessby the silos. So yeah, it’s got a lot of history,” said co-owner Walter Oswald.

You’re never going to see Brandt’s winning any major culinary awards, but there are twothings customers here continue 10 come back for: the old Chicago-style, fall-off-the-boneribs - drenched in sweet barbecue sauce - and a massive, half-pound burger from ChicagoStockyards.

“It’s cutjust from the muscle, no trimmings. 25 percent loin, 75 percent beef chuck. Andit’s just a wonderful, juicy burger, big burger; people just absolutely love it,” Oswald said.

You ready to go yet? Come on, I’ll drive. Dessert is on me!

Sincerely, Liz Nellis

P.S. I’ll buy the first round as we belly up to the bar while we wait for our table.

Dear Dog Parent,

You take your friend to the vet for regular checkups, you feed him and love him and give him treatswhen he’s a good boy. And according to the 2011—2012 APPA National Pet Owners Survey; pet parentsspend $70 or more on treats each year for their dog. Shouldn’t those treats be the best?

We learned the hard way when our Felix was having difficulties going potty. He tried and triedbut could not tinkle. After more than 24 hours of not going, we rushed him to the emergencyclinic and discovered he had a bladder so full it was near bursting. We almost lost him in themost painful, horrific way.

He had developed an infection and crystals in his bladder due to dehydration from the dry store-bought treats and food we were feeding him. We read the labels as best we could with all thosebig chemical sounding names. We thought it was a good brand. Unfortunately, the VeterinaryMedicine education does not include much about nutrition, so most vets provide bad advice forthis disorder which leads your poor dog down the path of repeated blockages. Thankfully, ourVet; Dr. Roberts of Wheeling Animal Hospital is well versed in this area and gave us somerecommendations for proper dog nutrition.

3 days and $3000 later we brought him home with the warning that he could no longer toleratedry food or treats. So, we sat down and researched other options. A raw food diet may betrendy but there are hidden dangers in a raw food diet. Did you know that raw eggs and meatcan contain bacteria and parasites?

We Finally Hit on Our Successful Recipe for Puptastic Naturals

The food you feed your dog can either heal or harm him. A dogs’ natural diet does not include grains likecorn and wheat, but factory processed treats contain these ingredients as “Fillers”.

We founded our company “Furry Friends Natural Products” in 1990 in our kitchen in Grayslake, IL. Anhour north of Chicago and so close to Wisconsin; which is farm country. We investigated local farms andfound many that follow organic and healthy techniques for raising poultry and cattle as well as growingproduce. The fresh, hand-selected ingredients for Puptastic Naturals treats are so good and healthyyou’ll be tempted to try them yourself.

Your dog is a part of your family; doesn’t he deserve the best, most nutritional treat available.

Our Felix just loves these treats and it was a pleasure to make them and be free from emergency visitsto his vet. It’s been an entire year and he is blockage free!

There Are Hidden Dangers in Your Dogs Treats

Let Us Put Your Mind at Ease with PuptasticNaturals Dog Treats.

Don’t You Agree; You Want the Best for Your Furry Baby?

You take your friend to the vet for regular checkups, you feed him and love him and give himtreats when he’s a good boy. According to the 2011—2012 APPA National Pet Owners 5urvey;pet parents spend $70 or more on treats each year for their dog. Shouldn’t those treats be thebest?

Thankfully, our Vet; Dr. Roberts of WheelingAnimal Hospital is well versed in this area and gave us some recommendations forproper dog nutrition.

3 days and $3000 later we brought him home with the warning that he could no longertolerate dry food or treats. So, we sat down and researched other options. A raw fooddiet may be trendy but there are hidden dangers in raw food. Did you know that raweggs and meat can contain bacteria and parasites?

Are You Unknowingly Harming Your Dog?

Banfield Veterinary Clinics warn that the physical risks are potential raw bones which canfracture teeth and perforate or obstruct the gastrointestinal tract and cause nutrientimbalances in the calcium-phosphorous ratio. Dry treats and dog food are mass produced infactories where virus, parasite and bacterial activity could be lurking in poorly maintained

equipment. Store bought treats are high in fat, sugar and preservatives. Are you willing to riskthe health of your pet?

• Pet food recalls were up 51% from 2017 to 2018. Makes you wonder...what are wefeeding our pets?

• According to JAVMA (Journal of American Veterinary Medical Association) 25 to 30% ofraw poultry carcasses test positive for Salmonella and other toxins which can causemultiple organ failures if consumed long term.

• Mass produced food and treats have preservatives like Ethylene Glycol and ButylatedHydroxy anisole, what exactly are they putting in our pets’ food?

Pet food manufacturers are not in it for our pets’ health, their number one priority is makingmoney.

As more recalls are coming; we pet parents are looking for safe, healthy alternatives made byreputable companies like Furry Friends.

Tami Pierce; DVM at UC Davis recommends the 10% rule; where treats should only beabout 10% of his daily calorie intake. Factory-made store-bought treats can add caloriesthat your dog just doesn’t need. If you give your dog 3 or 4 treats a few times a day;you’re adding unhealthy weight.

CUSD200 PROPOSAL FOR SUMMER VACATIONS

Prepared for Tom Kinane

Assistant Director of Technology

Community Unit School District 200

Wheaton, IL 60188

A+ Certified PC Tech

PROPOSAL FOR ALLOTMENT OF SUMMER VACATION TIME

INTRODUCTION

PurposeThis proposal for the allotment of vacation time during the summer hours willallow employees to have time off during the slow months as well as to havecoverage if necessary for any projects that might arise.

ScopeThis report presents our study, a review of our findings, the advantage of vacationtime during summer, and the conclusions.

BACKGROUND

ProcedureAs school is out session during the summer months of June, July and August andthe techs receive wages even though there are no computer users to support, wehave discussed the dilemma during PC Tech meetings and while [here areoccasions when a project will come up and to be sure there is sufficient staffingwe have determined that each month of summer should be split between all PCTechs.

Our first step is to decide which techs will be taking vacation in June, which willbe taking time in July and the final techs to take time off in August. This willallow all techs to have a vacation and all techs will be back to work at the start ofthe new school year.

ProposalThe proposal is to determine how to split up the time during the down months ofsummer. We have considered the options and it has been decided that we shoulddo a lottery to choose which techs will be taking time off in June, which techs willbe taking the time in July and the last to take their vacation in August. As we have8 techs we will have the names of the three months on 3 slips of paper. The techwith the longest seniority will choose a slip of paper first and it will continue ondown the seniority ladder until all 8 techs have drawn a slip.

ConclusionThis plan seems to be the best way to provide vacation time to all techs while stillproviding support to the schools.
