Hi guys,

First of all sorry about my english, as you can see in the title isnt my native language.

Im copywriter and writer from Argentina, and i want to target some internacional market offering spanish articles. I tried to see Google Adword but there isnt good searchs to pay for.

So, i want to know what are the international channels that i can offer my service. Im open to hear any ideas, so dont be afraid to tell me.

Thanks in advance for your help .

      No. I always keep away from that type of site mostly because is hard to get visible to possible clients, is like you need luck to get hired.

      But im able to give it a try. You had good experience with them?.

        Are there any marketing forums in Spanish? Or perhaps for specific Spanish-speaking countries? If so, then I'd suggest joining and participating in those forums.

            Most English speaking companies want to target the Spanish market in US & internationally. I would go on LINKEDIN. The companies are having the same tough time find YOU! Are you well versed in IM, SEO and social media?

              By IM you mean Instant Message? Like Skype or Google Hangouts? Yes, also i do some SEO and Social Media in my personal startup.

              I tried to make some basic research in LinkedIn Jobs but there is a lot of competition (maybe i could try the Pro version). There is some international group where business look for copywriters that i cant join?

              Alao i did a search tab in Hootsuite of "spanish copywriter", but result are mostly redirect of site that i need to register. I would like to target directly with the company.

              Thanks to all for your help .

                IM= Internet Marketing. Learn it HERE! I would start with ONE of them and learn it well, so you can sell your service in Spanish. Are you college educated? Writing well is a craft in any language. You will have to develop USP ( Unique Selling Proposition) , what separates you from your competition. There are LinkedIn WSO, that can teach your how to market successfully.
                Good Luck!.Serry

                  Oh, didnt know that Internet Marketing is called IM too. I know some stuff about that, isnt the first time that i sell my service, in fact, today i live thanks by only writing spanish articles.

                  But as i said, i want to expand my market to have a better flow of new clients, because there is some times that mines dont need or want new articles. Common Freelance Life .

                  I will check more about LinkedIn, maybe there i can do something.
                  Thanks

                    There must be a couple dozen Warriors that make money writing posted on WF. There is plenty of work for any good writer that can promote themselves and their talents...can be learned. ALSO understand SALES WRITING is different than journalism writing.
                    This might help you

        VERY large Spanish population. They are a different dialect. Cuban and from South America. If you market to Southern part of US, you will get people from Mexico.

              I'm surprised nobody has mentioned Fiverr. There is a growing need for U.S. companies and businesses to provide their content in Spanish. Whether it be a sales letter, on-page content or even email bodies, there is a need. If you need instant exposure I would consider using Fiverr and create a Spanish writing gig.

              Once you become a Level 1 seller, use the gig extras to offer longer articles (500 words vs. 300 words), keyword research in Spanish, on-page SEO, etc. to bump up your gig sales price. People would easily pay $20 for a high quality, lengthy article.

              I've done writing gigs for Fiverr before and got burned out. I kept it going by outsourcing the work to expats and English-speaking natives living abroad who could afford to write an article for $10, while I took home the other $10.

              Good luck!

      Agreed. OP, you can live the rest of your life off of Spanish copywriting jobs in Miami alone. Same with Houston, Los Angeles, and other cities with a large Spanish population in the US.
      The Extraordinary 30-Year Growth of the U.S. Hispanic Population - CityLab

      You could probably check Craigslist and have money coming in this week.

      Hispanics are now the majority in California, and the Spanish speaking population in the US will skyrocket over the next 35 years.

      "...the Latino "share of the U.S. population, currently at 17 percent, is expected to reach 31 percent by 2060," the report says. So nearly one-third of Americans will be at least part Latino within the next half-century."

      Beyond that, there are a ton of international job openings for Spanish copywriters in Latin American countries in all the jobs sites like Indeed.com, etc. Offer your services as a freelancer and show how you are more profitable than a staff person (ex. no health care cost for them).

      The Spanish market will continue to grow worldwide. Usted va a ser rico y vivir en una casa grande en la playa.
