If you’re new to writing for money, copywriting is the perfect way to start. Every business needs “copy”, that is, written marketing and other materials. As a copywriter, you can write anything from tiny ads to huge training manuals.
Many copywriters start out knowing nothing about the copywriting field. I started my writing career as a romance novelist, so I had no knowledge about copywriting at all.
I started writing ads for a friend, and as soon as people knew what I was doing, I was flooded with offers of gigs. The same thing will happen to you.
Ask me how I know this. I know because I know business, and that it’s very hard for businesses to find people to write copy for them. (Just look at any small business Web site for proof.)
Once you start writing copy, word will get around. One client becomes ten, and ten clients become 100 as your name gets passed around. Then you can raise your rates.
Raise your rates as you become an experienced copywriter
There are only so many hours in the day for everyone, so as soon as you’re booked solid, it’s time to raise your rates. You can start out at $60 to $80 per hour, and raise your rates to $120 and $200 per hour as you grow in ability and experience.
