How to use Taskomat™ if you are a copywriter?
If you are a copywriter, Taskomat™ is the best way to organize your workflow and to analyze your performance on specific projects.
Setting up a project with Taskomat™ is in fact very simple and above all useful, since Taskomat™ allows you to track and analyze time and budget of each project phase.
The project in Taskomat™ is composed of individual work units, i.e. the phases of the project needed to complete it. Each work unit has its own budget and time limit: the budget and time limit of the entire project are determined by the sum of the individual work units.
To create a copywriting project on Taskomat™, it is therefore necessary to create several work units, as many as there are phases you need to complete your project, for example: preliminary analysis, main copy creation, copy creation for other channels, etc.
Let's take a look at a small example of a copywriting project created and managed with Taskomat™, so as to make the process clearer.
Project: copy for new website
Project phases: Preliminary analysis; Copy for website; Copy for email
Let's suppose that your reference rate is 50€, each of these 3 phases will have a budget and a time limit calculated on the basis of the reference rate.
Work unit: Preliminary analysis (1 day to collect the information):
- budget: 400€
- time limit: 8h
Work unit: Copy for site (3 days to write the contents of the site)
- budget: 1200€
- time limit: 24h
Work unit: Copy for email (2 days to write 6 sales emails)
- budget: 800€
- time limit: 16h
In total you have a project with a budget of 2400€ and a time limit of 48 hours.
Once you have created the work units, you will then have to create timed tasks to be planned on your days.
Preliminary analysis (time limit: 8h):
- Meeting with client (2h)
- Information gathering (2h)
- Material study (4h)
Schedule on: Monday, April 8 and Tuesday, April 9

- Contents mail 6 (2h)
- Customer meeting (2h)
- Review (2h)
Schedule on: Monday, May 13, Tuesday, May 14, Wednesday, May 15.
Once the tasks are scheduled, you can decide whether to do time tracking or just declare them as completed.
In our example, you can time-track and measure your performance on all the tasks that are not related to the client meetings, while for the meetings you can simply declare them as completed.
By structuring your work in this way, you will be able to understand how long it takes to complete the various project phases and whether this time is in line with your budget and revenue goals.
