Help Needed!!

Post by lorand65 »

Hi, I’m a newly single mother who stays at home looking after my son. I have been writing for a long-long time but never thought to do something serious with it. I would like to try freelance copywriting, but don't know the first thing about it. How can I get started? Can anyone help me? I love writing and I could really-really use the extra cash- raising a young child alone really hits the wallet pocket. I appreciate any replies, and hope that I may be able to help in return sometime soon. Thank you very much.

Hi, it's very good that you want to try for freelance copywriting. Now days the market for copywriters is vast and is expanding all the time, thanks mainly to the Internet where company information and marketing has to be up-to-date as soon as news breaks or a new product line is released.

Best of luck!

Have you looked into online publications that pay for submissions? I don't really know anything about it, but have heard there are reputable ones that do pay for stories. Of course, the internet being what it is, I recommend serious research with any you might consider. And of course, traditional or online, don't forget the golden rule - if they ask you for any kind of money up front, RUN. Anyway, don't know if you find this helpful or have already thought of it, but I just thought I'd pass it along as a suggestion.

Cheers.
