Copywriting...Future Survival
I have read a great deal of copy writing/marketing material.
I have recently discovered a new trend (that many of you have noticed) going on within the copy writing industry. Two things are happening 1) web designers/developers are taking allot of the copy work (by default) 2) somehow people have learned to live on measly wages charging very low for their services.
Internet marketing consultant seems to be the natural service to add to your arsenal, but with lack of technical know how it doesn't come off well to potential clients (I've tried allot).
I was thinking, why don't copywriters learn to develop/design websites on their own?
Is the industry really drying up for the freelance copywriter?
What are some skills you would suggest a rookie copywriter pick up to offer a more well rounded service offering?
This is my first post and thanks to all that respond.
