titleGet Rich By Copywriting?/titlecategory1/category
Can you get rich, by copywriting? Possibly. But even if you don’t get rich, you can earn a pretty good living at it, from home, without ever setting foot outside your door, and it’s FREE to get started.
Firstly, what is online copywriting? It’s pretty simple. Say, for example a wine merchant wants a few articles about wine to be circulated via wine wholesalers magazines, but they don’t have the time or creativity to do it themselves. They would contact an online copywriting agency (of which, there are several) with details of the work, how much they are willing to pay and when they need the articles to be written by. Writers like myself on the agencies books then bid for the work, stating how much they’d want to be paid (yes, you can do that!) and when they could finish the articles.
If a buyer likes your bid they pick you and you write your little socks off!nbsp; When the articles are done, they pay you – thank you very much.
So what’s the catch?nbsp; Well, there isn’t really a catch.nbsp; The agency extracts a fee from both the bidder and the buyer, but it’s not an ‘up front’ fee, and it’s only triggered when your bid is accepted, so you know the job is yours and payment will follow.nbsp; Most fees are reasonable, around 10% of the total project.
Being a freelance copywriter is a useful adjunct to other writing projects, such as writing for Hubpages (a href=http://hubpages.com/hub/Get-Rich-By-Copywritingread how to win bids here), /aas there is a ton of copywriting out there to pick and choose from, and it’s regular paid work from the comfort of your home.

First you sign up with an agency. I mainly write for a href=http://www.getafreelancer.com/affiliates/Georgina1writes/Freelancer.com/a, but there are others.
You choose what type of work you could do, what your interest are, for example, copywriting, ghostwriting, data entry, craiglist poster etc. If you have good IT skills, you could offer these, as IT skills usually pay more than writing.
The agency emails you regularly with prospective work. For example, Freelancer.com sends me up to ten emails a day, often with a dozen jobs in each one, that makes around 100 jobs on an averagenbsp;daynbsp;that match your interests.

All you have to do is read through the job offers and if you see something you fancy, log on to the site and take a closer look. If you like it -bid!
Freelancer let you have 30 bids a month, which is more than enough, I find, to keep you writing as much as you want. Like I said, it’s free up to the moment your bid is chosen, but then most buyers pay you within one week.

Just make sure you join using the box on the right – Looking for Work – see the screen pic below.nbsp; If you join as a buyer different charges apply and this article is all about working as a freelance copywriter, rather than as an employer of copywriters.
Why not give it a go.nbsp; You have nothing to lose and everything to gain, particularly if you want to make a career out of writing from home andnbsp;EARNING EASYnbsp;MONEY to support your writing.
