Something to Sell

As a copywriter, you are a salesperson.

The only difference between you and a regular salesperson is you do your selling in print instead of in person.

And to make sales — either for yourself or for a client — all you need is a product or service to sell.

This makes copywriters well-suited for:

• Client work
• Affiliate sales
• Or, best of all, selling your own products.

Many of the best copywriters in history have sworn off client work and devoted themselves to selling their own products and building their own businesses.

Eventually, nearly every copywriter realizes they’d be better off working for themselves than working for clients.

The trick is making the transition. How do you find time to create and sell your own products if you’re busy doing client work?

Catch-22, but not impossible.

If you’ve already made the transition, please do share. How did you do it?
