Tiff's Tips for Making Money Copywriting as a Newbie, Sale on 1 IM Funnel for 48 Hours
Published: Fri, 03/10/17
I'm up working hard today - no naps for me this week! I have a launch on Monday and that means lots of polishing and networking to get everything ready. The kids have Spring Break this week and I'm SO happy because it means I'll be very relaxed and productive - and we'll have some awesome family time, too.
#1 - Tiff's Tips for Making Money Copywriting as a Newbie
Some of you had emailed me asking about the Ray Edwards copywriting course and what if you have no experience. Well, that's what his course (and free webinar with freebies) are for - to teach you.
But I want to share some of my own thoughts about profiting in this type of career, because I remember working on Elance writing articles and eBooks for $20 a page and being shocked that for a press release, I'd get $100 a page - and for sales copy, much more than that!
Here are my thoughts:
- Copywriting allows you to find both online and offline jobs - and no degree is needed. Here are some neat statistics for the offline world of copywriting: http://www.payscale.com/research/US/Job=Copywriter/Salary
- Don't charge by the word - charge by the project. And never ever ONLY accept profit share. That's fine if it's a bonus, but the actual job of copy creation should have a price tag attached to it which you get paid for.
- Elance is a great place to find work, but also start your own copywriting site. Here are some domains that are available: CopywriterForWebsiteContent.com, CopywriterForSalesCopy.com, FreelanceCopywriterForHire.com, ProfessionalWebCopywriter.com, ProfessionalSalesCopy.com, OutsourceCopywriting.com
- Create a sample portfolio for a few niche topics - mainly health and MMO but maybe 1-2 others. Include various styles - emotional, in your face hype, etc.
- When bidding on a project, personalize it big time. Dig in and find out who the person/company is and what their style is and showcase a sample of your copy that's in line with what they like.
- Learn how to tap into emotions. Ray does a fantastic job teaching this. You can NOT just regurgitate facts to convert buyers.
I highly suggest you attend one of Ray's free webinars and pick up the free goodies (including some surprise ones) here - there are 2 today - noon and 8 pm est:

See how you like copywriting and whether you feel you have a knack for it. It can be extremely lucrative (tens of thousands of dollars per launch) if you make a name for yourself - but even if you're not that knock out top copywriter, there will be hundreds of average marketers who need to hire you for their project who can't afford to pay $10-20k per launch, but they CAN afford $1-2k per letter. Either way, it's a wise career choice.
#2 - 48 Hour Sale on 1 of My IM PLR Funnels - pick it up for yourself or to help others!
Because a lack of confidence seems to be a huge factor in so many of my subscribers' success, I'm putting my 3-part funnel called Overcoming Self Doubt for Online Success on sale.
So the front end is normally $20 - it's now $7 for 48 hours here:
https://s3.amazonaws.com/bigplrevent.com/indexoverselfdoubt.html
OTO 1 is usually $30 and it's $10 for 48 hours.
OTO 2 is usually $27 and it's now $10 for 48 hours.
Great topic and so badly needed right now by so many.
Okay I'm back to work. Y'all have a great weekend - and go pick up those copy freebies (even if you don't want the career - it'll help you with your OWN copy)!
