My ADHD Rabbit Hole
Freelance Copywriting Wasn’t My Passion. Is it the Soulmate for Your Solopreneur Spirit?
Copywriting sounded like a perfect match for me! And I jumped in with both feet. I quit my job (I was planning to do it eventually anyway). I dedicated all my time to being the best copywriter.
I loved how I could make my own schedule. I loved getting to fall down all these rabbit holes of information. I love the community that I found in Write Your Way To Freedom. I loved the idea of helping companies find their audience.
But like most fairytales, when reality set in, I realized it wasn’t a good fit for me.
Looking For Solopreneur Business Ideas? Here Are Some of the Great Things About Copywriting
Copywriting is one of the most stable solopreneur businesses right now. Once you get established there is plenty of work out there! Every product, service, individual, etc needs to have an online presence at this point.
Almost no one actually knows how to do it well (even if they think they do). Plus it takes their focus away from running their business. It’s in their best interest to have someone do it for them.
A lot of industries worry about AI. I don’t buy into the fear but it’s not a real threat for copywriters. Copywriting is about relating to a specific audience and making emotional connections. AI, for all the progress it has made, isn’t very good at this.
