Hi everyone! New to the forum, I am looking for some tips on getting my copywriting career started.

Visit the copy writing section of the forum. Start there, several long term members have post excellent advice through the years. https://www.warriorforum.com/copywriting/

Hi there, welcome to the forum and to the copywriting industry. Get your thinking cap on, you're going to need it.

Here are my tips.

1. Choose a niche
Copywriting means a lot in many industries. You can write ads, emails, landing pages, product description, etc.
Pick something that interests you and check the market for it.
You don't need to stick with it forever, but you need a starting point.

2. Create some copy in that industry
Get your hands dirty and make some samples. People hire newbies, but you need to show your skill to impress them.

3. Get some work done
Start it cheap or free and create some real life copy for clients with the condition to share it on a portfolio. Since you're not getting paid a lot in the beginning, get some portfolio samples and reviews out of it.

4. When you feel ready, pitch some high-paying clients.


That's about it in simple terms. What makes or breaks your success in this industry is your commitment, ability to learn and work hours invested.

Good luck!

If you have experience as a sales man maybe you can try pay per call offers because they pay very well and you have the necesary talent to speak with people

hey Bashir, look into my niche, self-help/new age, so many authors REALLY want to help people, but they have ZERO notions of marketing, and ever more copywritting.

Hey Bashir, To be a great copywriter I think you need to have a great understanding of Keyword Research and what are the keywords your audiences are probably searching on google to find a service or product you are writing for!!!

Of course, if it is copywriting with content marketing!!!

The Drip System Marketing Plan

Way back, in the 80's, I started my ad agency. I knew nothing really about the "ad agency business". But I knew how to make ads based on direct response methods.
Someone, in the business told me, "You need a car dealer as a client, they spend money on advertising."
So, I picked up the phone and called all the car dealers within 3 counties. 33 dealers as I recall.
Mrs. Gatekeeper NEVER put me through to Mr. Big. And Mr. Big, never returned my call. So, I was kinda pissed. "I'm Linwood Austin, how dare they not return MY call".
I had my pride, you see.
So, I sat down and wrote 12 letters about advertising. Each letter focused on a different area of advertising; newspaper, TV, radio, etc.

I mailed them all a letter every 3 days.
I never got past the 8th letter before I had more ad agency work from car dealers than I knew what to do with.
Listen, that's why I recommend you do much the same today on linkedin, facebook or any other platform, IF you are selling B2B.
Truth is, you cannot mail "too much". And if you mail or drop a message every day, you'll get some action around the 8th day. Especially if your letters are good.
I have personal experience with this, and I'm betting you'll do well with it too.
If you want me to write those 12 letters for you, let me know.
