So you've made the decision to become a freelance copywriter. You have studied the topic and are convinced that it will take a long time to earn your first money as a copywriter, and your own portfolio seems like an unattainable dream at all. In fact, it only takes two to three days.
It is necessary
- - any text editor;
- - anti-plagiarism program.
Instructions
Step 1
Register on the KakProsto website, click "Become an Expert" in your personal account and wait for your application to be approved. Write one article on a topic that interests you in particular, such as Why People Strive to Become Freelancers or Copywriting as a Way to Make Money Online. Share your thoughts on the information you've learned in this article.
Then write two reviews: the site you visit most often and the movie you watched the other day. As soon as the article and reviews are published and the first views appear in the statistics, you will receive: verified and paid texts - the basis for the copywriter's portfolio; proof that you are capable of making money online as a freelance copywriter. And this is a very important psychological moment for a novice author.
Step 2
Create a blog on any of the free services (Blogger, Wordpress, Twitter, LiveJournal) and make three entries:
1. Why did you choose this particular blogosphere (I liked the design, little advertising, interesting topics on the main page);
2. Top 5 favorite films (actors, songs, cities of the world);
3. The post "I looked the other day …" (I plan for the weekend …; pleased with the new computer game …; the fifth season of Game of Thrones is impressive, I recommend it; etc.)
Take a screenshot of your blog.
Step 3
Go to your page "Vkontakte" and take screenshots of one post of your authorship. If there are only reposts of other people's news, create your own, for example, "Five celebrities with whom I would like to be in the next seats on the plane or at the same table at a dinner party."
Pick up photos of these celebrities and add ten of your friends' @id to your post with the address of your friend's page (friend's name). Something like the challenge "Here's my pick. Now it's your turn to be your top 5 potential celebrity conversation partners?"
On Twitter, this fun is now very popular. Everyone is calling everyone. Including the celebrities themselves. When your post has likes from friends and reposts, take a screenshot.
If you are a moderator in any community or offered news to a group on your favorite TV series - take screenshots of posts with your signature.
Step 4
Register on the "Kinopoisk" website and add one review for a film or series. Limit yourself to four sentences - describe the emotions that the film caused, or follow the standard - subjectively evaluate the work of the screenwriter, actors and director, soundtrack and special effects when it comes to a blockbuster.
Take a screenshot after posting (even if the review after verification does not appear on the movie page, it will be available on your profile).
Step 5
Creating a copywriter's portfolio on the freelance exchange. Register on any similar site and upload an avatar image. Enter a valid email address (Skype is optional). Now you have your own portfolio, with which you can submit applications for the implementation of projects on any content and freelance exchange.
Step 6
In just a couple of days and five steps, you: achieved your goal, earned your first money as a copywriter, created a portfolio on the freelance exchange.
Now the main thing is not to lose the pace and actively continue what we started. Explore deeper already mastered sections - articles, copywriting, web content, posting, diaries / blogs - and other specialized texts. Some of them are especially in demand - landing pages selling letters, slogans and advertisements.
Study, create examples of such texts, publish here and on your blog, add to your portfolio so that potential customers can see what and how you can do.
Every day, leave applications in at least three projects for freelance dot.ru, search for orders on content exchanges, create articles and reviews on KakProsto.
You are no longer a beginner, remember, you are a freelance copywriter with your own portfolio and texts that are already making money for you. Be persistent and active, and do not forget to enjoy the process - making money writing texts, working on a free schedule, belonging to yourself, not the office - all these are really pleasant and positive changes in life. Enjoy.
