3. Get Copywriting Gigs On The Out-Sourcing Sites

As a new copywriter, you want to build a portfolio as quickly as possible, so bid on projects at out-sourcing sites. A tip: don’t bid too low. There’s no point in getting into a pricing war with other copywriters. Begin as you mean to go on - charge a fair price for your work, always. There are many reasons for this, not the least of which is that there are only so many hours in the day, so you need to be paid what you’re worth.

4. Develop A Small Web Site So Your Clients Can Find You

Create a small Web site. Your site will grow as your career develops, but in the beginning even a tiny one-page site gives you your own “home on the Web” where clients can find you. This site is vital, because it forms the basis of all your marketing activities.

You network every day - networking doesn’t have to be formal. For example, when you’re starting out as a copywriter you’ll meet many people in the course of your day job. Tell them you’ve started selling copywriting services, and direct them to your Web site. You’ll be surprised how quickly your new site gets you copywriting clients.

So there you have it - the basics of becoming a six-figure copywriter. Discover how you can kickstart a lucrative copywriting services career in just seven days with Angela Booth’s “Seven Days To Easy Money: Copywriting Success”.

1. Assess Your Own Interests And The Demand For Them

Start by working out what interests you, and what fields you have some experience in. It’s always easier to write about what you know. There’s a huge demand for copywriters in areas like business, technology, health, real estate, and the financial sector. If you have experience in any of these sectors, your future is assured.

No experience? Not a problem. You’ll just need to spend a little more time on research.

2. Write Copywriting Samples - Your “Portfolio”

When you’re starting out, you don’t have a portfolio to show prospective clients, but don’t let that hold you back. Just create some samples.

Check out-sourcing sites to see what types of copy buyers are looking for.

For example, Web site owners are always hungry for articles, so write a 500 word article on business, technology, or any other area that interests you. This article will act as your work sample until you’ve developed a portfolio of material you’ve written for happy clients.

Copywriting is essentially writing business communications. Since all businesses need to communicate, copywriting opportunities are literally unlimited.

Many writers make excellent livings as copywriters, and a smaller group make six figure incomes. You can join them.

So, how do you become a hot-shot copywriter?

If you’ve been published in magazines, have written a book, or have been published on Web sites, developing a six-figure copywriting career is easy. If you’re a new writer, your start-up phase may take a little longer, because you’re making the adjustment from writing for your own pleasure, to writing for money and meeting your clients’ needs.

A Tip: Your Journey To A Six Figure Income Starts In Your Head

Copywriters are in huge demand, so within a short time you will have all the work you can handle. However, if you want to make a high income, you need to keep this goal in mind.

It’s all too easy to spend hours every day on bread-and-butter lowing copywriting gigs, so it’s essential to remember that you set your own rates, and if you under-price consistently, it will take you much longer than it should to make a high income.
