What's the solution for this? I know many copywriters have this same problem and it keeps coming up in discussions repeatedly.

I think the essence of copywriting is knowing human nature, and being able to think visually, write experimentally, and substitute common concepts with more abstract. The economic use of words is key to repainting that desired image in the mind of the market. I am a strategist and copywriter for a strategic marketing agency.

I recently decided to consider freelance copywriting. Yet every project seems to pay about $1.00 per 100 words or something similar. Is it just me or does that seem cheap? Why would any writer devalue their craft by charging so little for their unique and creative work? I have written in a corporate environment for about 15 years.

Thank you very much for sending in your questions. I do expect a few more in the following days, but I wanted to thank those of you who have already taken action. Kim. Yours is a particular case because of a very common spelling error. You are looking for "copyright" (which is the way to protect your intellectual work) and not "copywriting" (which is the craft of selling with the written word). To copyright your music, I'd recommend a service such as the one offered by http://www.legalzoom.com/ All the best! Miguel Alvarez Hi all.

We have done the location thing and are doing well with some long tail phrases but not good with "greeting cards". Are there any alternatives to breaking into a highly competitive field like this one. (NO PPC please!) Thanks for any input you can offer.

Crafted language is just that, crafted, and that takes lots of thought, insight, and vision. Clients who don't work with language often fail to understand that muscular copy takes time and dedication and seems expensive. What is the best way to convince a client that it’s less costly to do the deep work of good crafting and branding from the start, rather than skimming the surface until the ice thins to second thoughts?
