How did you get your first few clients, and break into this industry. (Age old question, I know.)
I just a few quick questions, some of which I am sure you have gotten incredibly tired of answering on this sub-forum.
I thought I may as well ask anyway, as I really would like to know the answers.
A close of friend of mine wants to get into the world of copywriting, he has been a freelance journalist for quite some time and is growing tired of the industry.
Anyway the questions we have pondered are.
1) how did you copywriters get your first clients, I know it is an industry built on reputation, but how did you get your first without such a reputation, did you just advertise your services on forums such as this? Also how much did you charge for a medium ticket sales copy at the time?
2) Am I right in assuming that a lot of the digital product sellers in the WSO section of this forum, selling some of the better products, have enlisted the services of professional copywriters.
3) Do any of you own SEO consultancy's where you have a team of copywriters.
The questions are in order of how badly we need answers to them.
Obviously I am not expecting anyone's entire copy writing blueprint or client sourcing strategy, just a general direction and some advice on how copywriters get clients that are willing to pay for quality, not the ones that expect a cheap $200 copy.
Really looking forward to your replies
Thank you ever so much in advance.
Sonny.
