Wanna Be Copywriters...Be Careful What You Wish For
I'm finally starting to get copywriting clients. I'm only taking on jobs I know
I can do well and declining niches where I know I'd have to do way too much
research.
In the process, I'm still taking a look at how much work is involved
(considerable) and what I'm being paid for that amount of work and have
come to the realization....
That I have to be out of my mind.
To put it into perspective.
I can spend 8 hours creating a limited run product and make $3,000 from
it with no problem.
That comes out to about $400 per hour of work. I figure my time is worth
at least $100 an hour so I'm happy.
A simple sales page with one product and no bonuses takes me about 48
hours of work between reading the product and writing the sales page
and I get about $2,500 for the job.
That comes out to a little over $50 per hour.
I was making $25 per hour when i worked a job 10 years ago.
Do you see where I'm going with this?
Sure, if I've got nothing better to do with my time and I'm just going to be
sitting around twiddling my thumbs or playing video games, yeah, I guess
it's worth doing.
But if I can do other things that will bring me in more money for the same
amount of work...why am I killing myself?
Point is, this really has to be something you love doing and not just for
the money, because as a marketer, something I've been now for over 7
years, there are much easier ways to make $2,500.
It's certainly food for thought for those of you thinking of getting into this
like I did this year. Yeah, with my rep as a marketer, it didn't take me long
to get clients.
But I'm starting to think that maybe I've just taken on my last one.
Cause like I said...there are easier ways to make a buck.
Just my 2 cents on the subject for whatever they're worth.
