Claire Akin | Indigo Marketing Agency
Cassidy is a superstar on our team and we're so lucky to have found her. She's intelligent, articulate, reliable and really takes initiative to help move our business forward. She's supported us doing all kinds of writing including articles, presentations, videos, and more. Highly recommended!
Jonathan DeYoe | Mindful Money + DeYoe Wealth Management
For the first couple months we worked together I gave multiple editors the same work and Cassidy's was ALWAYS the best of the bunch.
If you are wondering whether or not you should hire her... stop wondering and hire her.
Donny Gamble | Retirement Investments
Cassidy is one of those writers that you want to keep to yourself and not tell anyone about. A.K.A my secret weapon.
I've been working with her for the last 9 months and she always over delivers when it comes to research, engaging content, and organization.

Hi, I’m Cassidy, a personal finance copywriter + money nerd. 🤓
In 2017, I graduated with an MBA and $18,000 in student loan debt.
The sense of accomplishment I felt when I finished my MBA paled in comparison to the stress I felt from having $18,000 in debt.
The weight of those dollar signs was crippling.
Desperate to break free, my husband and I devised a plan. For the next 10 months, we lived on 60% of our income and used the other 40% to pay off all of our debt.
The end result? We paid off $18k of student loan debt in 10 months and had a cushy little emergency fund to get us moving toward future goals.
The all-consuming joy I felt the day I made my last student loan payment is a feeling I’ll remember for the rest of my life.
My #1 desire is for other people to experience that same all-consuming joy.
But the sad part is, 78% of people live paycheck to paycheck
If they lost their jobs tomorrow, they wouldn’t be able to make ends meet.
This type of stress is ruining their health… their home life… everything.
People want to be financially stable. They want to be able to afford a house... and save for retirement... and take a vacation without also having to take out a loan.
But they need help getting there.
All of this starts with content that empowers people to stand up and take charge of their financial futures. All of this starts with you.
Why work with me?
I show readers they can still have fun while they break the paycheck-to-paycheck cycle and save for their future.
I show them the road to financial freedom doesn’t have to be boring.
I show them they do have what it takes to change their financial trajectory — regardless of the lies society has fed them.

Special Projects Portfolio
Next up are special projects. I’ve had the honor of working on everything from websites and emails to opt ins and landing pages. Don’t see what you’re looking for? Just ask! I’ve got many more projects to showcase.
Meridian Wealth Website Project
You’ve got five seconds to make a first impression when someone lands on your website.
If your copy is unclear, you’ll instantly lose them. But if you’ve got the right hook, you’ll propel them to action.
So, for this financial advisory firm, I rewrote eight of their web pages to really touch on who their ideal client is and the money challenges they face.
20-Part Email Sequence
Email marketing is THE best way to grow your business. The average ROI is $32 for every $1 spent.
I created this 20-part email sequence for an e-commerce brand with over 30,000 email subscribers. As you can see, the open and clickthrough rates are higher than average.
71 Ways To Save Money Fast Opt-In
Opt-ins are a great way to add value to your readers’ lives and grow your email list.
For Get On Track Financially, I created an opt-in on 71 Ways To Save Money Fast. It’s an 8-page PDF checklist, designed to turn their website visitors into lifelong readers.
Free Book Pop Up + Landing Page
When Claire Akin came to me, she wanted to use her latest book, The Marketing Guide for Financial Advisors, as a lead magnet for new prospects.
So, I created a long-form landing page and a short-form landing page. I also included a pop-up for her website and several Twitter ads so she could A/B split test everything.
Indigo Marketing Agency Landing Page
For this project, I created a landing page that speaks directly to one of Indigo Marketing Agency’s main target clients — LPL advisors.
I touched on their pain points, the benefits of working with Indigo, and peppered in loads of testimonials as social proof.
Now, Indigo looks like THE top marketing firm for LPL advisors.
The Balance Blog Posts
I’m a finance copwriter for The Balance where I write “term articles” that help them rank for long-tail keywords on Google. Some examples include:
All of these articles are #1 or #2 on Google.
Money Under 30 TikTok Article
As a finance copywriter for Money Under 30, I create long-form articles that help their Gen Z / Millennial readers better their finances.
And for this super fun post, I researched top financial influencers on TikTok, sourced quotes from each of them, then wrote a killer piece highlighting their best content.
The best part is, I got quotes from 14 of the 16 people I contacted — a stellar conversion rate for cold pitches.
I also followed up with them once the article was live so they could share it with their followers (which got Money Under 30 even more website traffic).
Quinstreet Home Insurance Article
Quinstreet is a marketing company that creates content for Insure.com, Insurance.com, and CarInsurance.com.
They know that creating consistent, high-value content is key to building trust with any audience. So, I write car and home insurance articles for them.
One example is: Does home insurance cover TV damage?
Depending on their needs, I’ll also conduct interviews with industry experts so our articles have verified quotes.
Clever Girl Finance How To Start Freelancing Article
I’m super passionate about helping women use money to create a life they love.
So, when a brand like Clever Girl Finance asks you to be a finance copywriter for them, you say “YES!”
I’ve created dozens of articles for them at this point. And one of my favorites is: How To Start Freelancing With No Experience.
How It Works
Step 1: Book Your Discovery Call
In this 15 to 30-minute call, we chat about your copywriting needs and decide if we’re a good fit for each other. I send you a proposal outlining my copywriting recommendations.
Step 2: Sign Your Contract + Pay Your Invoice
Are we a perfect match? Yippie! You sign your contract and pay 50% of your invoice. I get to work on a small test project — usually one blog post or a small email sequence.
Step 3: Sit back and relax as I get to work✍️
This is the part where you rejoice — because writing has officially been scraped off your plate and added to mine. Now sit back and relax (or focus on other work tasks) while I get busy making your copy dreams come true.
Step 4: Surprise! You’ve got a first draft from yours truly
Once I finish working my copywriting magic, I’ll email your project in a Google Doc, along with an invoice for the remaining 50% of your balance. You get one round of revisions if something doesn’t sound quite right.
Step 5: decide if you want to book more work
That’s a wrap! After our test project is complete, we’ll evaluate the process, work out any kinks, and decide if we want to continue working together.
