    I'm sorry if this is published in here already but I feel it may be useful as a starters guide or something.

    I have been a copywriter for about a year or so offering my service in here. The problem is I only write the informative articles so I feel as if I'm not using my full potential.

    I've heard about people talking about sales pages and PR work and the various prices people charge so I'm interested into getting alternative gigs.

    Just wondered if we could get a list of all the different types of work a copywriter could branch off to.

    Cheers

    Richard

    I can think of these things.

    1] sales letters [letters addressed to customers]
    2] sales pages [website homepages, product selling pages etc]
    3] press releases
    4] proofreading

    I do agreee but remember that being a content writer differs from the job of a copywriter or pointing to potentially better gigs, the work of a journalist.

    Definiing your niche or degree of specialization may help you to find the right market for your services fulfiling at a time your financial expectations and professional development [​IMG]
