Start a Copywriting Business
You've got a
computer and an internet
connection, and most of all
you've got your brain -- and
it's oozing with creativity.
Have you ever thought of
being a copywriter working
from home?
Why not? Millions are doing
it. It certainly is a viable
idea, tried and tested for
decades, as seen in the
number of freelance writing
web sites that have cropped
up in the last years since
the Web has gained its
rightful place as the # 1
global marketplace.
Copywriters are in demand,
and good copywriters will be
chased by people who are
brimming with ideas but
haven't got the foggiest
idea of how to put them in
writing. If you can prove
your mettle as a wordsmith,
the jobs will come after you
and you can do the
cherry-picking ? but only if
you've got what it takes.
As Nick Usborne said, a
home-based copywriting
business costs you almost
nothing to get started, you
can adapt it to your
schedule and oh yes - you
can even get started without
giving up your full time
job. Usborne also says that
whether the economy is good
or bad, a smart copywriter
stays in business and need
not fold up his tent.
Usborne has provided the
reasons why copywriting
would make an excellent
home-based business. But
what does it take to be a
successful copywriter?
If you're just starting out
and groping your way in this
ferocious jungle, take out
some books on copywriting.
We recommend one expert "Michael Masterson" but
there are more others like
him who can share valuable
lessons as well. You could
also join internet writing
communities -- there are
hundreds of them -- as well
as discussion forums. Just
type "writing communities"
on Google.
One thing that you need to
remember at all times: catch
the intent. What do we mean
by this?
S-A-L-E-S.
A good copywriter should
develop the knack for not
only writing good content,
but also twisting,
manipulating and mangling
that content so that whoever
is reading it is persuaded
to click on the "buy"
button. That's how the
select crop of copywriters
earn their income, and it's
not shabby income either.
A good question to ask is:
how can my words convert
into increased sales? That,
my dear friend, is the key!
