My ADHD Rabbit Hole
Ready to Try Freelance Copywriting? Enrolling in Courses Provides a Strong Start
My first effort as a solopreneur was through Write Your Way to Freedom, WYWTF (as we call it) is a copywriting course and community. It takes you from knowing nothing about writing copy to establishing your business. And once it's established, they have continuing education.
I don't love the name. But Sarah Turner, the owner of WYWTF has created something awesome. She started out learning how to write copy on her own and built it into this community. I have tremendous respect for her.
Curious About Freelance Copywriting? You Need to Prepare for a Tough Start
Riding a bike, yoga, skydiving, sex. What do they have in common?
They are all rough the first time, but if you keep going you get the hang of it and the payoff is awesome! (I haven’t ever gone skydiving but I have friends that have tried to convince me).
It is the same for freelance copywriting. There are a lot of plus sides. But of course, there are going to be cons that you should consider.
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.

Copywriting has changed a lot & writing copy online is very different. People are seeing fewer commercials due to online streaming. Few people read magazines or newspapers anymore.
Online copywriting is vital to all businesses today because being successful requires having an online presence. The need for digital marketing strategies from copywriters isn't going away anytime soon.
