The global pandemic has got many of us thinking about ways to diversify.

Copywriting can be a lucrative freelance career – and it’s especially suited to journalists and PRs.

In this two-hour webinar, journalist-turned-copywriter Hannah Abbott will show you how you can use your time in lockdown to branch out into freelance copywriting – or even launch a whole new career.

 

Who’s it for?

Journalists, PRs and marketing bods interested in becoming a freelance copywriter

 

You’ll learn: 

  • Why becoming a freelance copywriter is a great option
  • How copywriting is different to journalism – and how you can use and adapt the writing skills you already have to succeed
  • Practical things you can do during lockdown to get you off the ground (and even earning money) as a copywriter
  • My biggest mistakes when starting out (so you don’t make them too!)
  • Essential info on the business of being a freelance copywriter, including how to find clients, how to set your day rate and how to make sure you get paid
  • Resources that will help you get ahead and get support.

 

You’ll leave with…

Practical tips, actionable steps, confidence to take the plunge.
