Copywriters Forum

Thanks, Steve and Wordsmith, that's great advice =) I wasn't sure about posting an actual link to a copy sample as one of the courses I've taken recommended simply firing out as many emails as possible to as many businesses as possible - and then if you got a positive response to see the work, then ...

Dear _____, I've long been an admirer of your business and as a resident of ____ myself, I know how important it is for the _____ economy for our local shops to thrive. Your website hosts a very admirable range of products - I find your _____ particularly attractive. But have you considered that yo...

Thank you both, Steve and Franklin, those are some really great ideas. I'll definitely try to take your advice on board and make a few SEO adjustments to my site in the next few days

Well that's fair enough, a little of the old quid pro quo! It's taken me longer than expected as some idiot in the next village crashed their car into an internet junction box and wiped out the connection for three villages. But it's sorted now lucky, and I've managed to do as you asked. Please let ...

Clean crisp copy, without a word wasted Every business is different. Your business deserves tailor-made copywriting that highlights your assets. Unlike Rumplestiltskin, we can't promise to turn straw into gold, but we will weave your words into sales. Advertising is a subtle art, with sometimes lim...

Thanks

Good news, I have a potential client and have set up a Skype meeting for next week - and my website is almost ready for launch. I told the client that I charge 40 GBP per work hour and per hour of live consultation (with a two-hour minimum fee for the first live call). Most sources I have found agre...

Why thank you

Hi SARubin,

Thank you so much, that's some really great advice!

It gives me a much clearer picture of how best to gain a foothold in the field. I'll try some of the things you've suggested and will let you know how I get on.

Hello, I'm interested in becoming a freelance copywriter - mainly in sales/advertising, but I don't mind branching out into other areas (websites, blogs, etc.). But my problem lies in where to begin. It's the old adage "can't get a job without experience, can't get experience without a job"...

I am a fresh-out-of-the-box aspiring copywriter, and I’m very glad to find a forum of like-minded people. It’s a relief that it’s not all a cutthroat competition and ruthless marketplace out there. It’s a great comforting notion that there are people who have forged the path ahead who may be able to...
