Today I want to talk about a very important skill set that I think everyone has the ability
to learn and start making money from and that is copywriting now a lot of people don't understand
exactly what copywriting is, but that's what I want to do in this video is break down what
copywriting is how you can perform copywriting and I'm going to reveal one of my top hacks
that I use that saves me a bunch of time and makes my copywriting much more conversational
and then I'm going to show you how you can actually go online right now build a profile
and start landing these copywriting clients. So first let's get into what copywriting is now a
big portion of copywriting is getting someone to buy a product or service now you might be thinking
that copywriting is only for one specific area for companies but in reality it's used all across
the board in their marketing campaigns on their website in their social media profiles and even
in all the advertisements they run all of that requires copywriting and a lot of times they hire
a freelancer to provide those services but I'm not talking about all of these different areas,
I really want to focus on the biggest copywriting area which is in demand there's people hiring for
this every day and that is writing blogs and articles and helping companies produce content,
now the reason companies are hiring freelancers and remote workers to produce content is because
of search engine optimization. Now when you think of SEO, think of it as two different
segments the first is the back end side of things and the other is the front-end side of things. Sow
on the back end that's how the website is set up the mechanics of it if you will, that's not really
what we're focusing on here what we're focusing on is the front end and that is where these companies
they need to produce content that starts to rank in Google and it's not just about producing one
blog and then just leaving it there forever but it's all about producing consistent content
so with that comes a big demand for freelancers to write that content for them so that's the kind of
copywriting that I believe is the most in demand today and that is the most lucrative because what
you can do is you can treat it as a long-term client so it's not like you're just going to go
write one blog for a client and never hear from them again you could do that but that's not the
goal here the goal is to build multiple streams of recurring revenue so if you can get a handful
of companies that you produce one or two blogs for every month and they're all paying you that's when
you can really start to get ahead and turn this into a real business so let's get into the hack
now now a lot of people might think they know what it takes to just write a blog or write an article
but i have a big secret for you there's a way to minimize the amount of time it takes to write
all of this stuff and that is by using voice to text technology now everyone has this on
their phone all you have to do is hit the little microphone button in the bottom right hand corner
and your phone will actually pick up all the words you're saying and turn it into text now sometimes
people use this for text messages, but what I like to do is pull up just the notes app on my iPhone
and then just start talking conversationally and that is one of the biggest differences that I see
from starting with a blank page and someone who doesn't really know where to begin with
copywriting to treating it like a task where you're just answering questions
and you're talking into your phone and from there you can even save more time by starting to learn
how to use punctuation in your voice to text so for example you can say period new sentence new
paragraph space quotations whatever it is so now let's say you spend an hour researching a topic
and instead of having to spend another hour or two writing it all out you can then use speech
to text technology get that all in a note email that note to yourself from your phone
and then you have a rough draft already there for yourself. Now I don't hear that many people
talking about this but this can save you so much time so try it out for yourself if you've never
done copywriting services before try to look at it from a different perspective you're not just
sitting down and having to write pen on paper you don't necessarily have to type it all out
from scratch but when you use voice to text it will help you get that conversational tone
in your writing and that is what Google is looking for, they don't just want a bunch of
content that's created by robots it's smarter than that it knows when someone actually puts
the time into creating a good piece of content and it will rank them for that
so that is a little bit about what copywriting is and also one of the top hacks you can use to
make your copywriting more conversational and to save a lot of time. Now let's get into how you
can land copywriting clients, so let's hop right into a little demo right here I have my Upwork
search engine pulled up and if you don't know about Upwork it's a platform
that is a work marketplace so it connects people who are hiring for jobs aka companies and clients
connects them with freelancers and remote workers so if you want to be a copywriter I highly suggest
you start on Upwork. Don't go to Fiverr because Fiverr is more transactional based, you want to
start on Upwork because this is where you can build like we were talking about those long-term
clients those recurring streams all you need to do go to Upwork and once you build your profile
you just go and you search for copywriting after we search for copywriting you can see there's
a lot of different suggestions that come up so there's a lot of different ways you can search
for things on Upwork you can keep it very broad and look at everything that was posted
or you can get into a more specific type of search such as searching for copywriting blog writing
now this is going to pull up all of the different jobs that have been posted and as you can see
as I'm doing this video right now one hour ago someone posted this job right here and Upwork
has this marked as an interesting job they're looking for a long-term content strategist writer
for a small natural skin care and beauty brand so the best part about copywriting is that not only
can you get paid to just write and to provide those type of services that pretty much anyone
can really provide but it's all about finding a brand a client a company that you feel that you're
aligned with because that's when you can really start to add even more value you're going to be
more motivated to search and do the research and create the best blogs and content possible so for
example let's say you're really into natural skin care and you really like beauty brands this is the
best job that you can apply to right now i mean it was posted an hour ago they're looking for someone
to pay them 25 to 50 an hour and this is something that you can start to land and get clients with
and start to make money online now let's keep going down we have other people posting 19 minutes
ago 23 minutes ago 32 minutes ago and then we have a content writer urgently needed this was posted
let's see one hour ago content writer urgently needed to handle all projects related to writing
on our company's website candidate must have at least six months experience so there are going
to be clients that are looking for someone who's experienced but there's a lot of clients on here
that you can use to get that experience from and use it as a stepping stone to leap your entire
career. So I really encourage you go create a profile on Upwork start to scroll through this
because even right now as I film this it's a Sunday and in the last hour or two there's already
been so many different copywriting jobs posted and if you look at these and you find something that
is very interesting to you you'd be surprised how quickly you can start earning money online
as a freelancer. So that was a quick video about how to get paid to write, now I hope this was
simplified for you, I know we went through a lot of different things pretty quickly but i wanted
to show you what freelancing copywriting can do for you how you can get ahead of the competition
right away and actually a conversational tone on your writing using voice to text and then I wanted
to show you how powerful up work is and how people are literally posting jobs every single minute and
it's all just about you going out there and taking what you deserve and earning what you deserve
by landing these clients but that's only possible when you put yourself out there
so don't think you need to be perfect in life you have to just take that first step
take that first step build your profile start to get in touch with clients start
to brush up on your skill set and you'd be surprised how much each of those little steps
really add to your overall momentum. So I hope that was a helpful video on how you can make money
