Freelance copywriting is the craft of writing persuasive, engaging content as a self-employed professional. Freelance copywriters write copy on a contract or project basis for commercial purposes, such as adverts, websites, email campaigns, social media posts, and online advertisements. They are the creative masterminds behind a catchy slogan, a compelling email, an insightful blog post, a sales letter, and persuasive web copy. Freelance copywriters are usually highly versatile and have a broad client list. They prioritize their assignments by managing their time effectively to work on assignments for multiple clients at once. To start a copywriting business, you need to select the services you’ll offer clients, showcase your writing samples, and market your skills to find clients. Freelance copywriters can charge by word, by page, by hour, or by project, and their rates depend on their experience level and the type of copywriting they provide.
