Remote work (freelance) attracts many. He is his own boss, and there is no need to go somewhere in the morning, to stand in traffic jams. One of these types of income is copywriting (writing articles). What do you need to learn how to write interesting and useful articles? And even make money on them?
First of all, you need to be patient. It was not the gods who burned the pots, which means that it will take a long time to become a pro in a new field. At the same time, you need to clearly understand that you have a predisposition for this craft. It will be difficult for people of applied professions without creative inclinations to master writing.
Training
You have to learn. Constantly and a lot. Even if you are already involved in the process, you will always need to update your knowledge. If, of course, your goal is to make money.
For those starting from scratch, it's best to take good paid copywriting courses at trusted online schools. There you will receive the necessary basic information, a certificate and save time. But even without special specialized courses, you can find a lot of useful information on the topic of "copywriting" on the Internet. The main thing is to be able to filter out the unnecessary.
Improving literacy
We study the rules of the Russian language. Without this, it will be difficult for you to achieve success.
Be sure to read a lot. Not only special educational literature, but also fiction books. Especially the classics. This will not only improve your literacy, but you will also learn how to express your thoughts.
Regularity and discipline
Write every day. In the "table" and not only.
Start a blog and post on social media. It may not work out very well yet, but this is how you train your writing skills.
Decide on a niche
What topics are you strong in? Or maybe you write in several directions at once? By setting clear boundaries for yourself, you thereby open up earning opportunities for yourself.
Text validation services
Learn to use the Antiplagiat program. You will need to check your text for uniqueness, consistency and errors. At the moment, there are many such services.
Declare yourself
Have you written several articles and checked them against plagiarism? Then it's time to "go out." Register on freelance exchanges, post your work for sale. Take orders. First, cheap, then, with experience, more expensive ones will come. Participate in thematic forums, join copywriting groups and comment on topics.
And patience again
Freelancing is, of course, good, but remember that here you have to plow too. Especially the first couple of years until you get some experience. Spend eight to ten hours at the computer. There may, of course, be exceptions. People who work only a couple of hours from the first month and make a lot of money. But I haven't heard of them yet.
Helpful advice
Don't go to free webinars. Basically, you will be wasting your time. Useful information is given there by scanty crumbs, basically, the authors talk about their achievements and are looking for those to whom they can sell their services dearly.
