Copywriting – a Great Job for a Freelancer


Having worked as Chief copywriter on a full-time basis, I came to conclusion that there can be no better freelance job than a job of a copywriter. I am not Chief copywriter anymore – I quit this job because it began to tire me: writing all the same things on the same topic from day to day and coordinating the work of other copywriters who write the same things from day to day. The job where there is no room for creativity is not for me, that’s the conclusion I have made. The thing is that working as a copywriter full-time, you have no opportunity to choose – you write only what you have to write. In contrast, being a freelance copywriter means having the freedom of choice and being involved in some other activities, which can become a wonderful supplement to your copywriting talent. Besides, freelance copywriting is one of the best careers available to a writer who wants to make a substantial income.

Copywriting is a demanding work, and in comparison to translation activity it is paid more. Copywriting can be lots of fun, provided you can play with words and have the feeling of the language. Of course, you won’t become Bill Gaits with the copywriter’s profits. However, once you have become a copywriter -- then you are ready to start your own direct marketing business and make a BIG BUCKS ;-) Today, with the invasion of the Internet in all spheres of business, a professional copywriter will always be on demand. Copywriting is inseparable part of any marketing strategy. Is there any way to bring your message to the masses without words? There is no way! So go ahead and practice your writing skills. Train your sense of humor. Read more books and broaden your outlook.
