I am looking to build my freelance copywriting business and I am looking for a way to contact the direct marketing companies. What are the resources you use to get projects? Is there a free database online or a directory? Thanks for your help
You have to contact large marketing firms directly, and as far as a how to it really is a matter of imagination. It's almost like applying for a job but...not.
I don't have a web address but I have what I consider a viable idea. I used to use this. My local reference library were a great help. I went and told them what I wanted and they had just the book: a directory of appropriate companies. Such a resource may possibly be of use to yourself. Visiting a reference library may be time very well spent. They're paid to help people and they like that type of an inquiry. Well all the reference libraries I've ever used liked that type of inquiry. They'd really 'roll up their sleaves' and help me to the max. Try it!
