How I Launched a Successful Freelance Copywriting Business with NO prior Experience. And How You Can Too
Freelance copywriting is surely one of the best ways to make a living. I personally now earn $100 for a single email, $150 per web page and even $1,000 or more for short sales letter (in fact, the real pros get paid that much for just one page). With such high rates of pay and job satisfaction, it’s no wonder 1,000s of people are eager to take the leap from full-time employment into freelance copywriting. But unfortunately, many FAIL in their first year. Why? Because they didn’t know how to overcome all the hurdles you face launching a freelance business. This includes:
Developing your copywriting knowledge
Creating a portfolio of samples that will win over prospects
Design and develop a professional looking website, and not one that screams“cheapskate!“
Working out what to charge when just getting started
Knowing where to find clients willing to pay you a fair rate for your work (hint – it’s not on freelance bidding sites)
Making sure you get paid (and this one is critical in today’s economy)
How to turn one off projects into ongoing sources of revenue, vital for long-term success
These are all challenges most, if not all, copywriting courses don’t tell you about. Instead they just give you a basic grasp of copywriting skills then leave you to try and solve them on your own. For this reason, most newbie copywriters STRUGGLE for years in the freelance trenches, with no clue how to climb out and be on the road to success.
