I'm aware of this skill and also know that it will be widely used after 50 years . But,
how is it in prospect of doing freelance with it

I can't answer your question but i'm interesting in copywriting too. Im not native english and after a time of research it all come with pratice everyday. Writing something

 

[Mr Positive]

Yes but you’ll need to put in good efforts

 

[Purush]

I am not sure but I think you could create the article and sell to others who are looking for it. Also you could create your own website.

 

[yomarketer]

yes definitely its good skill to bank good but you have to focus on one industry in the beginning

You will have to work a lot on developing your skills as there is a lot of competition in this field.

I get a rough idea that its very competitive
But nowadays every skill is

It's a very good skill to learn, easy to understand the basics, very hard work and commitment to master it but think about it. In a couple of years 10-20-30 years people will be 90% online so copywriting it's very linked with the online universe. Being a good copywriter gives you a very good edge over competition in any sale/marketing/digital etc etc etc area.

It's a great skill to have but it's exhausting at the same time (at least for me).

If you churn a bit more content than what's offered for usual pricing, clients could gather at your doorstep

My wife has been a freelance copywriter since 2006 and before this she worked in marketing for insurance companies where she was responsible for composing those annoying corporate direct mail packs.
Copywriting skills are always in demand - but there is a lot more freelance competition these days.

Mixed opinions but thank you guys

 

[MrSempay]

I recommend some sort of passive income over freelancing. Copywriting is still a great income source while you work on your business, but copywriting is tough in the beginning - really, really tough.

I also like to learned how to develop skills by doing copy-write articles. It will be useful once you learned how things are being implemented and
how to execute the right in the right manner.

It is a good skill, if you can find clients then you can make money.

It's a great skill to have if you truly love writing. But my advice would be to find a specialisation. As others have said, the competition is fierce, so being a "general" copywriter won't make you stand out. And you don't want to have to offer rock bottom prices just to get noticed.

So, find a specialisation within copywriting that you think might interest you - maybe you write on particular industries, or specialise in technical posts, product reviews, humorous content for entertainment sites, news and current affairs....or maybe you offer a prolific amount of tier 2 articles for PBNs. The key is to find your niche and market it well (offer packages / bundles / discounts for bulk orders etc) so that you can grow a steady client base who are looking for the exact thing you offer.

Also, think about the "value add" - what can you offer clients above and beyond just writing them an article? Maybe you could provide an end-to-end service where clients give you their niche, you do the research and come back to them with a list of articles you think would be good for their particular needs, and they give you the go-ahead. And you offer to do that for them month after month, so you become like an extended member of the team. Or maybe you offer a package where you write the articles and upload them as a draft post to their site with relevant images so they only have to make quick edits and then publish. The key is adding value. People will pay for the added service if it saves them time and offers convenience.

Thanks for such in-depth answer

Lots of people here are confusing content writing with copywriting so I suggest you try to find the answer somewhere else.
