In to all freelancer's lives, a bit of copywriting must fall. Today, we tackle the freelance world of business writing. Delightfully dry and unbelievably lucrative business writing.
Today, I will sally forth into Manhattan to sit down with a branding and marketing firm. This is not work that I usually do; however, it is when they accept the hourly rate quote that will make this assignment easily a $1 per word.
The moral of the story here is that if someone offers you a copywriting gig at an hourly rate that is acceptable to you- take it. Business writing leads to other opportunities and if not, it pays for you to have dinner. Best of all, you can know that a portion of your day has been spent being paid to write at a wage that is equivalent to some of the top magazines.
Never forget that your writing is your career and not many people are paid to learn a new skill. Who knows, some day you might even launch your own branding agency.
