Welcome to Inkspiller. Before we go any further, I want to be clear about one thing: this is not, and never will be, a copywriting course. There are enough of those. You don’t need another course slapped together by someone who completed a course themselves six months earlier. If all you do with what you gain from this newsletter is create another copywriting course, I’ll consider the entire endeavor a failure and close up shop.

Fair enough. What is this, then?

This is a newsletter about building a freelance copywriting career from a guy who’s been compensated for his writing since 2008, and who’s been successfully doing it freelance since he was fired from his last full time job in 2016.

Why are you doing it?

There is a lot of bad advice about freelance copywriting out there. If you’ve found your way here naturally (ie, if you don’t know me personally), then you’ve probably seen it. Starting a freelance copywriting career is hard enough as it is without having to sift through mountains of nonsense grifter BS to figure out which advice is actually worth listening to.

Who is this for?

What frustrates me the most about the majority of copywriting courses available today is how permanently they can turn aspiring writers away from this. If you’ve already paid over a grand to “gurus” and you still can’t figure out how to sign a client or keep them longer than one or two projects, you’re going to call the whole thing a wash and move onto something else.

That breaks my heart! I adore writing, and I value the independence my freelance status grants me over everything else in my professional life. I’m able to be at home and raise my kids, help run our household, and see friends. I’ve traveled more than I ever thought I would, funded a wedding and a house purchase, and paid off a lot of debt. I own my home, my income, and my time, and every time some huckster asshole tricks another newbie into forking over $500 in exchange for a Discord invite and 20 hours of watching someone talk into a webcam while screen-sharing a Google Doc, that path to independence gets closed off for someone else. That sucks.

I’m launching a professional newsletter about copywriting, Inkspiller!

Hey! I work as a freelance content writer/copywriter as well. I had to stop working because of academic pressure, but the pay in my country is peanuts, and I have always wanted to expand globally. I would really appreciate it if you could share some tips on how you started getting clients and how did you build your agency? Thanks!!

Hi love! Some high-level tips are below:

Intern/Apply to remote internships to get clips/experience

Create an Upwork account to get entry-level work/testimonials to get some client portfolio work and to help build your professional reputation

Always be on the lookout for leads, do your research, and craft a thoughtful/useful pitch for the client/publisher. Send work samples/share how you can help them. Follow up – remember rejection is part of the job, it's a numbers game

Start your own blog to show off your skills/build credibility in the writing world/your field

Save all of your quality-work to use in your portfolio. Always have a portfolio ready in PDF format and as a direct link that's mobile-friendly available when pitching clients

Utilize LinkedIn, your university connections, build your network, request informational interviews, and don't be shy to ask for letters of recommendation or referrals

When you do get a client whose honest and integral, show up and do your best work and submit it on time. If you can't for whatever reason, request an extension/notify them of the delay ahead of time

Perfect your craft, continuously read about your industry, and sharpen your skills. Show up with a business owner, not employee, mindset. This might be different when you're doing contract work for an agency where they might have their own contracts, set a budget, etc. But, when working with smaller, independent clients, ensure you have your rates, terms, general business practices, contracts (see a lawyer about this one), onboarding process, client questionnaire, payment method, etc., all set up for your client to acclimate to when you're ready to sign them. Remember, your clients are your customers, not your employers. It is a partnership, not an unequal power dynamic – you are the talent, not the direct report.

Hope this helps xx

Writing Intro! <3

Hi! I'm new to writeblr--while I'm here I'll probably post things I write for fun or events, if there are any.

I'm also trying to gain experience with writing content as well as copy so that I can become a freelance writer. I'm a student, so I want to help out with college tuition (and maybe start investing). I hope to surround myself with writers so that I can discover the topics I like, as I took a break from writing for a while. Some things that I have written in the past include Shakespearean sonnets, alternate endings, and short stories. I'm also well-versed in academic-style writing, such as essays like literary analyses, synthesis essays, rhetoric analyses, arguments, research papers, and responses to prompts.

I look forward to meeting new people and learning along the way!!!

EDIT: I recently released chapter one my WIP, so you can check it out here if you want!

This might be pretentious if me but like. plz don’t call my fics “content.” Don’t say you’re “consuming” them. Don’t call me a “content creator.”

I am an artist. Not a corporation mass producing things to be consumed rapid fire. I am not a team of people homogenized under one studio banner making copyrighted professionally produced “content.” I am not an influencer on tiktok paid a fortune to promote some dropship project or something. I am one guy with a laptop and a world in my head. I do not create out of obligation or work or anything of the sort. I am a guy making out of passion. Creating, shaping, developing.

Calling my art “content” implies some mass production to it. There isn’t. These things take forever and I don’t even think I’m going to have part 1 of my major project done by the time this year is over. I am just one guy.

Saying you “consume” my art invokes the image of voracious locusts descending upon a field and leaving it barren in the blink of an eye; no stopping to think or process what you’re looking at. Just consume, devour, an unending yawning void where my merits and labours aren’t recognized because you’re treating it the same as something with a budget produced en masse. You’re treating it as something to chew through and shred rather than a solo freelance project by someone bursting at the seams with immeasurable passion.

My works are meant to be savoured. Thought about, meditated on. Analyzed. Seen for its intricacies more than anything.

Righteous Wrath, for example, is deep. It may be a destiny fanfic but it’s here to make a statement, to propose a philosophy about violence and cycles. I’m trying to make every character, especially our main, deep and something to analyze especially how his characterization ultimately returns to canon. There’s themes to pick through and symbolism and things that happen, very very vile things, that are meant not just to shock (to which that is ultimately secondary) but to illustrate my world and my intentions and the psychology of my characters. I’ve put months of thought into it.

I am just one artist, one singular lone operative, tackling this solo. Words like “content” and “content creator” and “consume” feel like an insult to this. I do not have a team.

I’m just one guy.
