Free Copy-Writing is impossible? Why it's just writing...

Discussion in 'Copywriting' started by northwallace, Apr 23, 2011.

  1. #1
    I have decided to start writing copy for people (for free). I am tired of the poorly written articles I read on the internet everyday, and thought it must be time for me to do my part.

    Does this sound like a good idea? Let's find out...

    I'll write free 'non-copied' creative writing about your subject of desire (must be a subject I can work with). 1 article/piece per person (to start with). Will respond on a first come first serve basis, with right to refuse.

    This is all limited to my passion, which means I could stop at any point.

    This isn't a service, this is totally free. I am not responsible and will not be held responsible for any issues that may arise if you choose to publish my writing.

    Oh dear.
    Don't tell me the lack of oxygen up in the Rockies is making you a little light headed?
    Dude, crap content will always be around. Even if there is an army of a million of you out there, it still wouldn't make any notable dent in the approximately 36 billion web pages in the World Wide Web.
    However, if this is (as the fella above pointed out) an attempt to build a portfolio, then it is a great first step.
    Luck, either way.

    I'm wondering if you would be interested in writing something about dogs? I have a blog that covers just about everything dog related, you could use it in your portfolio.

    Thales - Yeah, okay so maybe a dent was a little too much to ask for. How about an atom sized pin prick.

    Rebecca - I am finishing your piece up right now. Any suggestions on the best way to send it to you?

    MagicMonkey - this is not an april fools joke, however it always makes me laugh when I offer free services and nobody takes advantage of them. I am working on your story also, it should be done later today or tomorrow (Tuesday at the latest).

    Happy Easter

    I'm so excited! Hopefully, I don't sound too much like a stalker (lol) but I Googled the username North Wallace. It appears that he is an extremely talented poet. North Wallace, is that you? I've sent a private message, and hope everyone has had a happy Easter. :)

    Free copywriting... there are tools out there that are pretty much as good as free (for example the pros use an 'autoblogging' system that generates unique articles for a few cents a time) but totally free...?

    Thanks for the kind words Rebecca! I'll have to work on a poem about dogs to send along to you sometime soon!

    Magic - Looks like your piece won't be ready till tomorrow....

    contentboss - I'm proving the system wrong.

    Who's next?

    I would love that! Btw - I just published your article. It goes without saying that it was very well-written, but I also thought your focusing on the care of older dogs was perfect. Again, I really appreciate this. Thank you! :)

    A meson sized pin prick, more likely. But you what? Good intentions are never measured by their sizes. It's the thought (cliche' alert!!!) that counts.


    Hey Becca,
    If you're interested in some dog-related PLR's, I could send 'em over, in return for your 'monkey-links' assistance recently.

    Just when it seemed that "article writers" couldn't charge any cheaper rates, you have topped them all by going free. Congratulations.

    c4cyber - Who are "those people"? And, I only write for someone who asks me.

    Thales - Meson, really. You underestimate my determination, might as well call it an anti-quark, not even a full particle.

    Jcoutts1 - I've only just begun, I am also planning on doing free graphic design and website work.

    Magic - I'm sending that article to you through PM right now.

    northwallace . . .

    I'd have to be a fool not to take you up on this. I have kind of an obscure topic. Herbal Vaporizers.... (the kind people smoke pot with).

    I have sites which talk about the science of vaporizers, but anything on the topic (if not too obscure) would be awesome.

    Thank either way!
