A Guide For Freelance Copywriters: Searching For Well-Paid Positions


Have you had enough of your studies already? Are you set to throw yourself into the cutthroat world of commerce? Doubtlessly you've been wondering about what career path would suit you best. Well, if you have an excellent command of language and grammar, and if you're able to write top notch stuff for a quick turnaround, then copywriting could well be the position for you!


Almost all copywriters work on a freelance basis, so if you're looking for flexible working patterns and the ability to work from home -or anywhere- this could be up your alley. The sector can also pay very well, but like anything, you need to be prepared to put the work in!


Start at the bottom!

Yeah. Sorry. If you think you can just waltz into an easy well-paid career, then it's time to put you straight! I'm afraid no such thing exists! Having said that, copywriting is one of the most in-demand professions going, so it's very easy to move up the ladder in a short space of time.


The first thing you need is experience, but how do you get that all important first paid work? There are plenty of specific websites and platforms where clients will post their copywriting positions. Apply for as many as you can and start building up your client base. Remember, if your clients are happy with the professional standard and reliability of your work, there's every chance that they will want to keep you on board for future projects.


Not only can you apply for available positions- you can also successfully tout for work yourself. All you need to do is upload your profile, your qualifications, your experience and what type of work you're able to take on, and let the clients come to you!


Building a business.

Now you're ready to build your business. The best way of doing this is to get your name out there more and more! Create your business website. Keep an up to date blog. Get involved with social media. Use the internet in every capacity you can to let the wider world know about you and your copywriting skills.


Taking copywriting to the next level.

Once you have regular work under your belt, you can start taking things to the next level. You may already have written hundreds of blog posts and scripted advertisements, but to obtain a higher income and get that really well-paid work, you can move into other areas like working for magazines in fashion, travel or music, for instance. Once you have a proven track record, you'll find it's much easier to obtain the particular sector of copywriting that you want to be involved with.
