One of the reasons for the HUGE DEMAND for copywriters is because of all the ways you can use your “persuasive writing” skills … especially when it comes to the Internet. However, the internet has exploded the demand for copy and that means thousands of potential employers for you.

On the blog today, I’m going to discuss the job opportunities that are bound, in which a copywriter can make a mark and money as well in exploring the field of copywriting. Here’s just a partial list of some of the web-based projects you can take on as a copywriter:

• Website Copywriting — There’s a huge demand for copywriters who know how to make websites sell, instead of just look pretty. 

• Email Marketing — Use these email sales techniques to market products to your existing customers (or your client’s).

• Autoresponders — Short emails, in a series, that pays well.

• Pay-Per-Click Ad Writing — Can pay up to $50 per word.

• Search Engine Optimization (SEO) Specialist — Companies pay very well for a a copywriter who can get their website to the top of the search engine rankings.

• Landing Page Writer — The web page your client’s customer-first sees is crucial to the browsing (and buying) process. That’s why this expertise is in very high demand.

• Site Audit Specialist — Get paid to write a report on a company website’s strengths and weaknesses (and then get paid more to fix them!).

• Webinars — Online presentations used in Business-to-Business to educate customers and sell to prospects. 

• Social Media Specialist — One of the fastest-growing sectors of the copywriting world, learn how to market through Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, and more.

• Blogging — Companies, experts, personalities, and celebrities don’t have the time to write their own blogs, so they hire copywriters to learn their voice and write blog posts for them. And, in most cases, they want a writer who can persuade, too.

You can also choose to specialize in a writing field that interests you most …

• Writing for the health market — Thanks to the tens of millions of Baby Boomers, this market has THRIVED in recent years: health newsletter subscriptions, supplements, natural cure products, and more.

• Catalogue writing — It’s a billion-dollar industry (how many show up in your mailbox?) … and guess who writes all those product descriptions? Copywriters! 

• Writing for the financial market — Sales promotions that market financial newsletters and financial advisory services for the financial publishing industry.

• Travel writing — Earn extra income and travel free writing articles about your global travel adventures (make money from your travel photos as well).

• Writing for nonprofits — Make good money helping your favourite cause raise money. Many people particularly enjoy this aspect of life — making a living while helping organizations you believe in passionately.

And then, there’s what I consider to be the biggest market of them all — Business-to-Business, or B2B. This area is SO BIG it deserves special attention …
