any tips for getting into copywriting?
Learn the basics of copywriting & writing fundamentals/ marketing skills
Study the different types of copywriting (web/banners, email, social, ads, direct mail, sales letters, etc.)
Decide on your niche(s). Study everything you can about the industry, trends, latest news, customer demographics/psychographics, customer behavior, types of lifestyles/preferences they have, how they speak, where they spend the most time (IRL or digitally)
Craft an inspiration folder full of compelling copywriting examples you find when browsing on the web, going through your email, scrolling on social media, billboards, magazines, direct mail, etc.
Practice rewriting these examples with your own flair. Evaluate it, and keep practicing until you're proud of your copy.
Be as concise, clever, and convincing as possible. Keep your tone conversational (write like how you would speak), catchy, simple, and witty. Take out any extraneous or fluff words. Pepper in cultural references, puns, and relatable anecdotes understood by your target audience when relevant to your messaging/CTA
Create a portfolio with these mock-ups or projects done for family/friends (state they're spec work, not client-commissioned samples) or clips from an internship, school work, etc.
Craft a USP for yourself (including your niche, copywriting specialties, and the specific expertise you offer within your broader niche/service offerings that makes you unique)
Create an Upwork profile and share your services on LinkedIn (optimize both of these profiles)
Research local clients and small businesses within your niche. Also, take time to create a list of dream clients. Study their copy, brand voice, and keep tabs on updates regarding these companies' happenings
Learn the art of a cold email/LinkedIn pitch/Upwork proposal. Introduce yourself and your services to your prospect and share with them how you can fulfill a specific need they're seeking out (For local and smaller companies, feel free to offer suggestions. With more established companies, connect the dots as to why your experience/expertise is a great fit for their brand/target audience), and attach your work/link to your LinkedIn profile, website, and any other relevant hub for your professional services & content
Ask for referrals from friends/family to get started. If they're not a relative, get a testimonial to include in your portfolio
Follow up once if you haven't heard back from a prospective client after an initial pitch after a few days
Search for potential gigs on sites like Upwork/ProBlogger/People Per Hour
Once you land a gig, execute to the best of your ability and hand in your work by the deadline (strategies surrounding best business practices is a whole other post, lol)
Gather testimonials from all clients of successful projects. Confirm with clients whether you can use their work in your portfolio if you're unsure
Continue studying copywriting from books, courses, and everyday reading & living
Stay knowledgeable about advancements/updates in your field, keep updated on current events, and culture/social trends, and read a lot in general. Have interesting, multi-faceted conversations with others. Observe what makes people tick & remain engaged in a verbal dialogue or content

Tools for (not only) fic writers!
After a discussion on Discord I have thought I'd share all the useful tools that I - a copywriter and editor - use on a daily basis. These can be useful for fic writers, copywriters, novel writers... Basically anyone. :)
https://app.grammarly.com/ - for grammar checks, obviously https://quillbot.com/ - a great paraphrasing tool, especially when you want to change the style of a sentence, for example from casual to formal. Also has a bunch of other cool tools like summarizer. https://hemingwayapp.com/ - grammar checker, but also with suggestions what sentences are too hard to read, where to use an adverb, where to use passive voice etc. https://languagetool.org/ - grammar checker. Multiple languages. http://cliche.theinfo.org/ - a cliche finder, to not use the same words as everyone does https://www.onelook.com/thesaurus/ - THE reverse thesaurus, if you don't know the word, but can more or less define its meaning. Also has words organized by subject. https://www.learn-english-today.com/idioms/idioms_proverbs.html - lists of idioms and their meanings https://www.calmlywriter.com/online/ - distraction free writing https://visuwords.com/ - a super cool visual thesaurus and dictionary http://www.themostdangerouswritingapp.com/ - deletes all your text if you stop writing for 3 seconds. Motivating. https://www.charactercountonline.com/ - character, word and sentence counter. Also shows you the word density. http://www.spacejock.com/yWriter.html - like Scrivener, word processor that allows you to break your work into scenes https://wavemakercards.com/ - for creating story timelines, mindmaps etc. https://www.shaxpir.com/ - manuscript builder, worldbuilding notebook, adding comments to text, setting goals, viewing the edit history http://www.theologeek.ch/manuskript/ - for making story outlines and mindmaps of characters, places, etc. Totally free and open-source. https://www.losethevery.com/ - look for a synonym of the "very…" for more sophisticated writing 😉 https://brainsparker.com/ - random prompts and inspirations https://www.tapnik.com/brainstormer/ - random story ideas generator https://writeordie.com/ - deletes all your writing if you are not reaching the goals you have set for yourself https://blog.reedsy.com/creative-writing-prompts/ - writing prompts
Have fun! I hope you find it useful!

Writing Intro! <3
Hi! I'm new to writeblr--while I'm here I'll probably post things I write for fun or events, if there are any.
I'm also trying to gain experience with writing content as well as copy so that I can become a freelance writer. I'm a student, so I want to help out with college tuition (and maybe start investing). I hope to surround myself with writers so that I can discover the topics I like, as I took a break from writing for a while. Some things that I have written in the past include Shakespearean sonnets, alternate endings, and short stories. I'm also well-versed in academic-style writing, such as essays like literary analyses, synthesis essays, rhetoric analyses, arguments, research papers, and responses to prompts.
I look forward to meeting new people and learning along the way!!!
EDIT: I recently released chapter one my WIP, so you can check it out here if you want!

This is the person who took the fic i made. Fr, I'll never understand being so uncreative like that. Ruins the experience for the original writer.

it's a first world, after all
a rant
These IOS/Mac system updates are tacky and, dare I say, counterintuitive for users but Great for The Apple Company.
Pixlr arbitrarily reChristening their basic photo editor tool (Pixlr Express) the "Free Online AI Photo Editor" is tacky and misleading even coming from an e-commerce/SEO """"POV""""
marketing jargon these days, my guys:
'CTC is the new DTC'
no:
DTC (direct-to-consumer) marketing cut 'the middle man' out of the purchase experience during a time (2020 hmm) when people were freaking out and wrested by a scarcity mentality
CTC (consumer-to-consumer) is an insidious ploy in which companies infiltrate online communities with bots and 'interns' to SELL YOU SHIT on Reddit, TikTok, X, and Instagram, THE advertising platform.
TL;DR I hate this new era of 'the internet,' and I will not do this work even if it buys me food. I’ll go back to stamping groceries.

Hey! I work as a freelance content writer/copywriter as well. I had to stop working because of academic pressure, but the pay in my country is peanuts, and I have always wanted to expand globally. I would really appreciate it if you could share some tips on how you started getting clients and how did you build your agency? Thanks!!
Hi love! Some high-level tips are below:
Intern/Apply to remote internships to get clips/experience
Create an Upwork account to get entry-level work/testimonials to get some client portfolio work and to help build your professional reputation
Always be on the lookout for leads, do your research, and craft a thoughtful/useful pitch for the client/publisher. Send work samples/share how you can help them. Follow up – remember rejection is part of the job, it's a numbers game
Start your own blog to show off your skills/build credibility in the writing world/your field
Save all of your quality-work to use in your portfolio. Always have a portfolio ready in PDF format and as a direct link that's mobile-friendly available when pitching clients
Utilize LinkedIn, your university connections, build your network, request informational interviews, and don't be shy to ask for letters of recommendation or referrals
When you do get a client whose honest and integral, show up and do your best work and submit it on time. If you can't for whatever reason, request an extension/notify them of the delay ahead of time
Perfect your craft, continuously read about your industry, and sharpen your skills. Show up with a business owner, not employee, mindset. This might be different when you're doing contract work for an agency where they might have their own contracts, set a budget, etc. But, when working with smaller, independent clients, ensure you have your rates, terms, general business practices, contracts (see a lawyer about this one), onboarding process, client questionnaire, payment method, etc., all set up for your client to acclimate to when you're ready to sign them. Remember, your clients are your customers, not your employers. It is a partnership, not an unequal power dynamic – you are the talent, not the direct report.
Hope this helps xx

Oggi a lavoro mi hanno condiviso il questionario conoscitivo di un nuovo cliente. Dovrò scrivere i testi per il suo sito.
Ho sorriso perché 7 anni fa ho realizzato una locandina con logo e illustrazione per un’associazione di cui questo cliente stesso faceva parte.
Mi stupisco dei giri immensi che facciano le cose, o forse è un segno del destino. Pezzi sparsi qua e là negli anni che pian piano compongono un quadro di insieme.
Tra linee semplici, colori e parole.
