Freelance Copywriting

[Villain]

I have decided to become a freelance copywriter to learn useful business skills, gain some experience and start accumulating capital for future fast lane ventures.

What I’ve Done So Far

In addition to hand copying a whole bunch of advertisements, I have read and taken extensive notes on the following:

Cashvertising - Drew Eric Whitman
My Life in Advertising and Scientific Advertising - Claude Hopkins
AWAI's Accelerated Program For Six Figure Copywriting - Michael Masterson
Power Copywriting for the Internet - Bob Serling
Kick-a$$ Copywriting Secrets Of A Marketing Rebel - John Carlton

This has all been done over the past several months while studying at university. I’m finished for summer so that means I can pretty much dive into this full-time for about four months!

What I Plan To Do

- Keep up my education by going through the Gary Halbert 30 Day Challenge (at my own pace)
- Do one hour of hand copying per day from my swipe file of ad material
- Do around 5 pieces of copywriting for free to build a portfolio, get feedback and collect testimonials
- Build a website to take enquiries and showcase portfolio (domain is already registered)
- Use portfolio to market my services and find PAYING customers

Free Copywriting (Currently Accepting Projects!)

If anybody on the forum would like a piece of copywriting done then feel free to respond in the thread or PM me. I have attached an example of my writing. Any feedback or constructive criticism is very welcome.

Will update as progress continues. Thanks for reading!
