Back in 2006 I noticed I started getting a lot of two types of emails: People wanting to hire bloggers would email me asking if I knew anyone suitable for a blogging job that they had. While it started slow with just a new job every few days – since 2006 we’ve had well over 10,000 jobs listed! How to Apply for a Blogging Job.

All copywriters and graphic artists welcome. Since I’m sadly short of copywriting clients at the moment (I blame my almost-nonexistent promotional efforts for this), I’ve been concentrating on fiction lately. Even if I´m not one of your copywriter-followers I come here almost every day for good stuff, just because. ;D

Copywriting basics are extremely necessary, and how well you execute them dictates how well your copy sells – how well the engine runs, if you will. Is it common to take “creative liberties&# among copywriters and just make up a complete bogus story to sell the product better? They tell the world who’s behind the wheel.

I am not a copywriter myself but I can imagine when you are constantly writing for your clients and adopting to the tone of theiar website, sometimes you may lose your natural voice when you are writing on your own blog. I like numbers 3 & 8… I might even combine them for maximum effect. Great post – thank you.

Written by James - 19 Comments There’s a strategy used in copywriting, and it involves being authoritative, even aggressive. It’s unfortunate that so many new copywriters get sucked into writing this sort of thing and think it applies to any sort of copywriting. “You’re a worthless weasel! Your life is crap!

You copywriters are oh so deceiving But yes, clean the attic. But then again, I know that my copywriting skills never seem to flag, and I credit that to the fact that I never have more than a few days go by without some sort of copy to write.
