Full transparency—that's exactly how I got here as a freelance copywriter! As it turns out, freelance copywriting can be an incredibly flexible, low-cost side hustle with the potential to turn into a full-time career! Getting Started as a Freelance Copywriter You don't need a journalism degree or years of experience to land your first client. Kickstart your journey by: - Finding Credible Resources — The best people to learn from are those who are already successfully doing what you want to do. Find credible freelancers, follow their socials, join free webinars and social groups, and subscribe to their newsletters.
- Narrowing Your Niche — Ask yourself, "What can I talk about for hours?" Niching down helps you to stand out to clients looking for specialized writers.
- Creating a Portfolio — Write sample pieces on platforms like Medium, then share them on your social media pages and in all your pitches.
- Setting Your Rates — Research the industry standards and don't undersell yourself. It's not uncommon to start with lower rates and gradually increase as you gain experience (and confidence).
- Signing Up for Job Boards — Upwork and Fiverr have tons of gigs for beginners - the pay will likely be low, but you'll gain experience, portfolio material, and testimonials.
- Networking and Marketing Yourself - Put yourself out there. Leverage LinkedIn, join Facebook groups, and pitch directly to businesses in your niche.
4 Must-Have Templates for Freelance Copywriters To save a ton of time and look professional—even as a side hustle—I recommend every freelance copywriter have these four templates on hand ( all can be customized for FREE): - Client Proposal Template: A well-crafted proposal outlines the client's needs, your creative approach, pricing, and final delivery timing.
- Contract Template: Protect yourself with a simple contract that covers payment terms, project scope, and revisions to avoid scope creep and late payments.
- Intake Template: Get clear on your client's brand voice, goals, and target audience with a structured intake template.
- Invoice Template: Stay organized with a simple but professional invoice template.
Whether you're looking to pay off debt, take a vacation, or simply explore your creative side for fun, you really can—quickly and easily—start making money with just your words.  Carri (TA Copywriter) | | | UPCOMING WEBINAR

Reserve Your Spot Today > | | | BIGGEST CHALLENGE Why Speaking Last Can Be Your Biggest Strength One of our TA readers shared: "As an introvert, I process information differently and am not always the first to ask a question in meetings. It was suggested that I engage more, but I am engaged—I'm just thinking ahead of how to contribute and solve the problem." Meetings can sometimes feel like a race to see who speaks up first, but for an introvert, that's just not their style. Not because they're disinterested or disengaged—they're just thinking things through before adding their voice to the mix. If this sounds like you, understand this is actually a superpower. Why Introverts Process Differently Research shows that introverts process information more deeply than extroverts, as they have more activity in the frontal lobe (the part of the brain that handles problem-solving and decision-making). In other words, while others might be quick to speak, you're carefully analyzing what's being said and figuring out the best way to contribute. Thoughtful Engagement Is Just as Valuable Just because you're not the first to chime in doesn't mean your input isn't valuable; often, it's actually the most insightful. "There's zero correlation between being the best talker and having the best ideas." —Susan Cain Introverts are often considered to be better leaders because of their distinct 'receiving' skills—meaning they tend to listen and process information before reacting or responding to it. How to Show You're Engaged Without Having To Speak If your work environment expects fast verbal responses, but that's not your thing, here's how you can still make your presence known: 📝 Prep Beforehand – Check the agenda, jot down your thoughts, and have a few points ready to go. ✍️ Follow Up in Writing – If you process things better after reflection, send a follow-up email with your insights. 👁️ Use Non-Verbal Cues – Nod, take notes, make eye contact— body language shows you're engaged even if you're not speaking. 🧠 Time Your Input Strategically – You don't have to talk first. Wait until the conversation unfolds, then drop a well-thought-out comment that moves things forward. Own Your Strengths You don't need to be the loudest person in the room to prove you're engaged. By leaning into what makes you great, you'll show that being quiet doesn't mean being disconnected, disinterested, or disengaged—it just means you're playing the long game. | | | GLOBAL HIRING & PAYROLL
