Want to get hired for your first copywriting job? There’s never been a better time to begin a copywriting career, because there’s a huge demand for copywriters online.

Your first step should be to create some samples.

In this post Angela Booth’s Writing Blog: Make Money Copywriting: Three Tips for Beginning Copywriters, I wrote:

“All writing is both a craft, and a skill. As with any craft, you learn by doing. Initially, the copy you write will be exercises you’ve devised for yourself, or which someone has given you.

Doing exercises is vital. Not only do the exercises help you to build your skills, but your best exercises will form part of your copywriting portfolio, until you have copy which you’ve written for others.

Humble though they may be, your copywriting exercises have a powerful effect on your future.”

Just create samples of the kinds of copy you want to write. You could create a direct response package, or even just a short web sales page.

Remember that every copywriter in the world started where you are now; no exceptions.

As you continue to practice writing, your skills will improve. Remember that you’re selling; copywriting is the art of making sales pitches. You’ll find that as you keep practicing, it will become fun for you.

Read the complete article above for additional tips, and take the plunge. You’ll be glad you did.
