I’ve been freelancing for years now and it’s a great way to combine working with raising a family. Your point about Karma is the most important, in my experience. People like to work with people who are helpful, honest and understand their goals. There are lots of good copywriters out there but there are also lots who are completely up themselves and a pain in the behind to work with. Fortunately for us, they tend to be working in agencies that encourage that type of attitude! I’ve never yet met a client who actually likes it. Form a good relationship with clients and think ahead of the brief and they’ll keep coming back to you.

I’ve been freelancing for 16 months with no previous copywriting experience! I was writing a few magazine articles before when my daughter was younger, then just spotted an advert and I’ve pretty much been trained on the job by very patient but very honest editors!
I wish I’d known about the job when I was starting out!

I’m going to go freelance within the next 12 months and I am petrified. I’ve had one client, through my current tutor and I’m starting to build my website.
