How To Become A Freelance Copywriter – And Get Your First Clients

Are you intrigued by copywriting but have no idea where to start? Do you want to make money from your writing skills in a completely different way? 

Ella Delancey is a journalist, copywriter, and content strategist who has built a hybrid freelance career by using her writing skills in many different ways. Having had her work published by Stylist, Cosmopolitan, Grazia, Glamour, and more, she knows exactly what it takes to move from writing articles to building brands. 

Now, Ella successfully creates copy, content, and campaigns for a wide variety of clients. In the session, Ella will cover:

• What copywriting is, and what makes a good copywriter;
• How to adapt your journalism skills for copywriting;
• How to build a portfolio when you haven't had your first copywriting client;
• How to pitch yourself and communicate your value to potential clients;
• The practical slide of working with briefs, feedback, revisions, and scope creep.

As with all our events, there will also be the chance to ask your own questions both live and in advance. But wait – there's more!

This is normally 24-48 hours after the session to allow time for us to edit the recording.

Watch Back / Recorded: If you just want to watch back, please select a recorded ticket. This allows us to keep a handle on numbers and make sure we have enough seats around our virtual table.
