Anyone hiring a copywriter full-time/part-time?

I just had a gigantic financial setback due to someone else's outrageous error and need to move toward more reliable income. I've had some great clients, but can't afford any dry spells right now. I'm an excellent writer and can push out winning copy. Have studied all the greats (including some of the fantastic people right here on WF). 100% satisfaction track record with clients. Independently tested in the top 20% of advertising professionals. Looking for a full-time/part-time situation and I'm not pushing for any excessive pay rates to start.

I'm also open to having jobs farmed out to me that other copywriters may not have time for or are not a good fit for them due to low-paying clients or what have you. So what's my USP here? Due to the ups and downs of life, I'm the guy who has done $2k+ sales letters who will now do entry-level jobs. I took a sabbatical from writing for a while, but never stopped learning.

Just PM with whatever you have. I'll also consider JV's with any non-copywriters who might be browsing and wanting to launch a new product - you bring the product, I'll bring the copy, and we'll take it from there. Legit products only, please.

If you're a potential client, hire me. I'll do a $497 sales letter this week that will make you money. Don't let the low price fool you. It's a $2k letter for $497, because I need new clients to replace the loss (which was not due to any failure on my end).

    Zen, you way want to drop an ad in the Warriors for Hire section. That should get you some dollars coming in. Good luck.

    One thing I've learned is to have like a base income which is product based, so you've got cash coming in all the time, and writing copy above that, so if copy gigs dry up for whatever reason, you don't need to drop your fees to get more work in. I've been on a copywriting "holiday" for a few months now and I'm not hurting at all.

    A bit off topic, but I don't think you should lower your rates if you're as good as you say. There are copywriters with waiting lists who are only average making six figures a year and who have waiting lists....they all have two things in common:

    1) Stellar negotiation skills
    2) A predictable system for attracting clients instead of pursuing them

    You can tell me to pound sand if you want, but many times if you don't lower your standards, a new level of success is just around the corner.
