When I started my freelance copywriting business way back in 1991, I had zero experience as a copywriter. I had no clients, I had no samples, and I had not written a single word of promotional copy, ever, for anyone. And yet within a few weeks of starting out, I was earning money as a freelance copywriter.That was twenty-six years ago. Today, getting started is even easier. And even harder.I've worked as a freelance copywriter and as a staff copywriter at ad agencies. I have written in all of the channels: offline, online, outdoor, mobile and broadcast. I have written print ads, radio commercials, email newsletters, sales letters, banner ads, product packaging, brochures, factsheets, case studies, slogans and plenty more for Apple, IBM, Bell, Re/Max, Hilton Hotels and hundreds of other clients worldwide. I've written copy for some of the top agencies in the world, including Blitz, Cossette, J. Walter Thompson and Leo Burnett.I got married, bought a house, and raised two kids on my freelance copywriting salary alone. In case you're wondering, I've been teaching copywriting since 1995. On Udemy, I teach copywriting to over thirteen thousand students from one hundred and forty countries. I am one of the top-rated instructors in the copywriting niche on Udemy.What you'll learnWelcome to Freelance Copywriter in a Week.
