How to Become a Copywriter With No Experience, No Samples, No Clients or Any Skills in 2023

Get a Roadmap to Finding High Paying Clients, Working on Projects You Love, and How to Become a Highly Paid Copywriter in 2023

If you want to know how to become a copywriter with no experience then you’re in the right place.

Because this was exactly the position I was in back in 2006. 

When I got started, I had no copywriting experience, no clients and no samples. 

But within a few  months, I found a way to develop my copywriting skills enough to attract clients willing to pay a fair rate for my work.

After being a freelance copywriter for 16 years now, I can vouch that, once you’ve made it, becoming an in demand copywriter is a dream job.

You get to work from home or from coffee shops…

You can set your own hours… 

Pick what projects you want to work on, or niche to become an expert in…

And you can earn a doctor’s salary tapping at a keyboard all day.

No doubt about it…

Compared to the normal working world of office politics, hours stuck in traffic, and being chained to a desk…

Becoming a freelance copywriter can be a dream come true. But…

You’ve got a minefield of challenges to navigate through before you can make your dream a reality...

If you’ve no agency experience, no samples, and no previous clients, some of the challenges you’ll face include:

  • Developing copy skills clients will happily pay you for (and develop them FAST, rather than the years it takes many newbies).
  • Knowing where to find clients who’ll pay a FAIR rate for your services (you may be SHOCKED how fast your bank account will shrink when you no longer have a paycheck to feed into it). 
  • Working out how to create proposals that will get you selected ahead of the pack of other hungry copywriters they’ve contacted
  • Ensuring your invoices get paid and the client doesn’t go AWOL the moment you’ve sent them the final draft (there’s no shortage of sharks eager to feast on newbie copywriters who don’t know how to chase unpaid invoices)

Fail to overcome any of these challenges and your freelance copywriting dream can go up in smoke.

You may then face the terrible day when you have to swallow your pride and start hunting for a J.O.B.

Sadly, few books or even $5,000 courses guide you on how to know what copywriting skills to develop to attract clients (I should know, as I’ve done a bunch of them)

Sure, they can teach you the mechanics.

But they don’t explain how to solve the challenges that decide if a copywriting business lives or dies in the critical first six months.

Even then, many newbie copywriters STRUGGLE for years to earn the bumper paychecks they were promised.

As many as two thirds of new businesses FAIL within six years.

Nearly HALF fail to make enough money to continue operating in the first year.

Because…

Having great copy skills is useless when you don’t understand the business side of how to become a freelance copywriter

The reason I know all this is because I learned how to become a freelance copywriter the HARD way.

 

Shooting the breeze with Mr Drayton Bird – one of the world’s foremost direct marketers

My name’s Matt Ambrose. 

Today, I’m pleased to say I’m now a highly paid natural health copywriter.

I now get paid $10,000 per sales letter, and even $1,000 for a single page of copy.

But it wasn’t always this way.

Before I got started in copywriting in 2006, I had a soul sucking corporate job. A job I hated but only endured to pay the bills.

Every week felt like rolling a boulder up a hill, only to see it crashing to the bottom by Monday morning.

And navigating the world of office politics, and having to sit on the right table at lunchtime, and schmooze the right people drove me nuts.

All I wanted to be doing was writing letters and emails all day.

And I was desperate to find a way of doing it without the drudgery of office life.

Well, the good news is that I made a remarkable discovery.

On one of my trawls through job sites, I discovered this strange sounding profession called ‘copywriter’.

A few Google searches later and I couldn’t believe what I was reading… 

Businesses PAY people to write their emails, websites, and blog posts!

My simmering excitement then exploded when I saw HOW MUCH.

Recruitment agencies were offering $500 per day…

Salaries of $60,000 per year and up for people happy to sit at a desk and WRITE ALL DAY!

It was like discovering a new world of possibilities has opened up in front of me.

And a world I knew I was desperate to go galivanting into as quickly as possible.

But I had a problem…

While I had a degree in English and History and plenty of positive comments on my ‘lucid’ writing style, I didn’t have a jot of copywriting experience.

But I knew…

HAD to find a way of how to get into freelance copywriting without any copywriting skills…

So I leapt into building my copy chops with gusto.

I dedicated six months to studying everything I could find on copywriting…

I bought all the books on Amazon (which wasn’t half as many as there now)…

Created a portfolio of press releases, articles, and self made brochures…

And cobbled together a basic website on Dreamweaver (back then WordPress was purely for blogs about cats).

But having the (admittedly, basic) skills to write for businesses was one thing.

Finding businesses willing and able to pay for my services was another thing entirely.

Had I known then what I know now, I would have thought twice about quitting my corporate job so eagerly.

Because…

I struggled for YEARS to learn copywriting until I was profitable…

Many times I’d wake at 3am and start to panic about where the next project and pay check would come from…

And whether my friends had been right all along that “nobody is going to pay you to write for them.”

Would I have to swallow my pride, admit defeat, and go back to a dreary office job and monthly pay check?

I desperately wished someone would guide me on what to do…

how to find quality clients…

how to get paid what I deserved…

and how to ensure projects kept coming in without endless cold emailing and getting shutdown by marketing agency secretaries.

But I managed to find enough work to keep going.

Sure, I continued to make a boatload of mistakes.

Mistakes that often cost me a lot of money from undercharging, missing out on projects, and not properly working out what the client wanted.

But I kept dusting myself down… learning from them… and struggling on the path I’d chosen.

Well, I’m pleased to say that all the pain and struggle was worth it.

Because for me…

My freelance copywriting dream is NOW a reality…

I’m now able to charge:

(Earnings disclaimer – You shouldn’t expect to earn this amount for a LONG time in your career. It takes years of training, practice, and getting results to earn the big bucks)

Not only that, but I’ve been able to:

-Grow a client list of 100+ companies including major B2B brands, like Siemens, Technicolor, Deutsche Post and Sage

-Generated $1m+ for clients in B2C markets, notably natural health

– Passed an audition to write for Clayton Makepeace (one of the world’s most successful copywriters alive today)

-Invited to appear on Copy Chief Radio, the Just Add Hustle podcast and interviewed for a series on Greatest Living Copywriters.

So I’m glad to say all the stress, night terrors, and struggle was worth it.

Even better, I now get to travel the world and work wherever I go…

enjoying what us senior laptop nomads call the ‘International Lifestyle’.

 

Hiking trip in Laos, one of many this year

So far I’ve lived in Malta, Chiang Mai, Berlin, Budapest, Prague, Krakow, Ho Chi Minh, Bangkok, Lisbon, The Canary Islands, and Kuala Lumpur… just to name a few.

But the only reason this became possible was because I was able to overcome all the challenges of the first few critical years of launching a new freelance copywriting business.

The good news is, you don’t have to go through all the same struggles I went through.

You don’t have to deal with the expensive trial and error…

The fear of not knowing where you’ll find your next client…

Or frustration when you find out you’ve been charging much less than you deserve.

Because I’ve written down everything I discovered on my journey and compiled it into a actionable guide.

Funnily enough, it’s all about…

Here’s what one reader had to say…

Being in the market for good copywriting knowledge, I checked this out. If the highly nauseating, cheesy, tiresome, cliched, paint-by-numbers copywriting style of the Warrior Forum, with the same templates with slightly different wording, such as ”Who Else Wants Their Own Cash Machine That Runs On Autopilot While You Drink Beer Watching The Game…”, or ”Here’s How To Get Your Own Slice Of The Facebook Money Pie Before Your Competition Does” doesn’t turn your stomach like it does mine, and you wish to replicate the same moronic pattern in your marketing, then this book is for you. If you want to write sophisticated, non-gimmicky, non-slimy persuasive copy that does everything it needs to to sell, but keeps your credibility and integrity intact, you probably can’t do much better than this guide I’ve been fortunate to stumble upon. I’ve checked out a lot of the best copywriting courses lately and this outshines all of them. On the Warrior Forum, the maxim is surely that bullshit hype sells. And to the idiots there (and some here) who consume that stuff relentlessly, it does. But in B2B, you’ll only turn off your readers. This book covers the fundamentals perfectly but gives in a brief, logical format to provide a great solid structure.” – underground906

And another buyer kindly had this to say in a LinkedIn chat:

Write copy and get paid within 60 days or get your money back

Does $27 sound fair for a guide that can pay for itself many times over with its advice on pricing and getting paid alone?

Or are you still on the fence?

Frequently Asked Questions About Launching a Freelance Copywriting Career in 2023

  1. Direct response copywriting: This is the most advanced kind of copywriting where the goal is to make people want to take action right away, like buying a product or service.

  2. Online copywriting: This type of copy is all about writing web pages, social media posts, and emails that people read online. Online copywriters also write keyword content for search engine optimization.

  3. Corporate copywriter: These types of copywriters work for big companies and help create messages that develop and promote the brand, as well as sell products.

  4. Sales copywriting: The focus is purely on making money. This style reuires a skilled copywriter who knows how to write ads, brochures, and landing pages that generate sales.

  5. Content copywriting: Content copywriters write articles, blogs and short form content, like Tweets, Facebook posts and emails.

  6. Technical copywriting: These writers are experts at making tricky subjects easy to understand. They write things like user manuals, case studies, and whitepapers.

  7. Creative copywriting: This type of copy is all about telling stories and making people laugh, cry, or feel inspired. It’s often used in advertising campaigns and brand storytelling.
