Old copywriter needs new tricks
Ok, I'm not really THAT old. But I am a newbie here. And considering how quickly things change in the marketing world, I come from the Dark Ages of copywriting. When clever headlines won awards, and direct mail, outdoor, radio and TV were the typical advertising venues.
Enter triplets. My creativity was reduced to finding the best strategy to feed 3 screaming babies at the same time, how to camouflage jarred peas, and which Barney episodes would allow me enough time to take a shower.
Fast forward fifteen years, and here I am back in the copywriting slash digital world. I've done some content gigs (eHow = eAwful), have written half a dozen articles for a women's magazine, but that's about it. I don't have a website, a blog or an online presence. (Unless you count my 4,971 posts on babycenter.com in 2002.)
I'm shocked at how little some of these content mills pay -- seriously, 5 bucks for 3000 words?!
If you're still reading, thanks for indulging me. Not sure which path I should take in the digital world. Any advice is appreciated. Thanks!
