"If you're not so long ago, led to writing articles for money, and chose the field of Internet, this short article you will be very useful. Well, if only copywriter path of the plans - the benefits of the material is generally great, we will help you focus and organize their time such a way that would work to take place with maximum impact and do not consume a lot of time.
So, you can write an article - you about this a couple of times hinted friends, then strangers, and now - already has the first orders. But do not enjoy - the ability to express their thoughts is not all that is required of those who decided to engage in copywriting in a professional manner. Of course, there are unique people - they are, they say, from birth without any problems issuing the text on any topic, and do it as soon as possible. But such people are few - an ordinary man, before becoming a professional, must undergo some sort of school. It will not only add style and practical skills, but also teach physically cope with the tasks assigned.
But such schools (in the conventional sense of the word) - schools that teach copywriting - actually, in runet not noticed. The main contingent of copywriters emerges from among the graduates of faculties of journalism and philology departments. But you do not finish the department of journalism and you do not have a diploma philologist! .There is only a feeling, he says - "Here it is, I could have!>. Do not you? If so, that is the right crown phrase - you could all. And for anyone. But there is a condition - will have to sweat.
On that note, and move on to the Soviets.
1. Get ready to lay oneself out on top full program - without that learn to write articles, but in addition more and so to learn that it were swiftly and competently, would be unlikely. Approximately half of the year will have to work to wear - forget about the delicate cycle. If you do not want to work, then brutally force yourself to just work, not rest. Repeat, half a year - this is the best period for the emergence of the style of work and ways to generate ideas that will later flow into the text.
2. Not to fixate on one topic. If temporarily in the head no thought or the topic itself seems pretty heavy, at the time, set it aside. But aside, this does not mean to go drink beer - it simply means to take up another article. That is - if not get one, we turn more and work. Work on it until the end. Do not get fooled by the phrase, which so often can be found among the merry-pro copywriters, they say - "I work only when there is a mood" or "I have a free schedule, etc. It's still not for you - not yet mature enough.
3. Less is more. Remember - the quality of the material is the most important in copywriting. Sometimes there are situations where the customer simply lays out the money and pays for clean kilobytes of text, and no do not limit the volume. This case is not so rare, and - it is not excluded that and you have a situation. Many kilobytes at a time, in principle, well - a lot of money. But! The volume of articles, often, very often affects its quality. And not only on quality - at the time you spend working on an article it will affect too. Prikinte themselves - if, for example, you had intended to write an article of size 10 kilobytes, how much time it will take? For the sake of experiment make such an article - the right, with you nothing terrible will happen. And after that, try to write two articles on different topics, but so that they'd been on every kilobyte Like this 5-Th. Where would be a big savings time? Without a doubt - in the second case. You'll see why this is happening (everything is easy) - so do not even experiment and write better than five articles on 2 kilobytes than one, but a giant. This is very helpful at first - you will develop much faster, and the tire will be less. Once you have the experience and will be pretty packed hand, you can begin to work on bulk materials. In general, the behests of Lenin sometimes useful - better fewer, but better.
4. Money. Get ready for that first you will pay the minimum. And what would you like? Just 10 bucks for 1000 characters? This will be, but it will be later. Wait and do something for which you have not yet quite ready - learn how to write professional texts. Little money - nothing! Time is working for you! And what is ten bucks? You will, and 15 stones and diamonds and 20 stones and diamonds! Professionals are valued very highly, even - and you can become them, no doubt about it!
5. Literacy. Not all people write competently - so constituted man. For example, some are arranged intuitively commas, while others - often make the same spelling mistakes. It happens all - the human psyche with punctuation and spelling are sometimes in conflict. Okay! Treat their mistakes with a certain degree of irony - learn from them. For, learn from their mistakes fools, but in others - fools. Do not get in their number! Constantly monitors itself and everything will work out. Baratynskij, for example, received the lowest scores on the letter, but it became a very serious poet - and it is much more abruptly than copywriting! And if suddenly, a strange fellow with the letter M from the number of fellow competitors, will laugh at you (let's say in the forum, where you ask for another portion of the work), feel free to send him far away and throw out of my head - over time, errors will be decline, and in another time - disappear altogether. And on the other hand - you're delivering content to the sites, rather than didactic materials for high school! Drive the Word in various articles already posted on the network - there will also be errors, and missing commas. See? All learning, all wrong - even mothers uncle in editions sometimes messy. Clear? Errors partes, try to avoid them, but do not do this cult. The main thing - the original content and what would the customer was satisfied!
6. Periodically review what you have written a week or two ago. Pay attention to what you feel is a defect. Set in the head and mentally build a phrase exactly as it more suitable at the moment. This is VERY good at helping in the development of style and has a positive impact on the proper construction of sentences in the future. Articles, it is better not to read the source code, which hangs on your machine, but from the place where they have already been published. This will give confidence and prove that you are not in vain waved Kyle.
7. Sometimes it will occur times of crisis - there is no work, for example. But she? So - there will be more! Just be patient and wait until, continue to look for her. Copywriters needed and, every year, the demand for them increases - the proposal also does not stand still, that's why you sit temporarily without a job ... In short - this is normal! Once you have any regular customers who will recommend your portfolio to other interested customers - everything will work and you will be provided to the throat. A further and move you - for that'll take, but for this - figushki, underpaid, etc.
The crisis, therefore, serves as your unwitting friend and temporary companion - he makes the fuss, and - contributes to a forced build bridges.
Recall the example from history! What happened in the 30 years in America? That's it. And what kind of economy they have now? Put yourself in the place of America - and you feel better. And if not, it certainly adds strength!
8. Gradually getting used to the fact that your articles gain value. This will occur approximately a few months after the beginning copywriter practice. When you are feeling, you can raise the bar and pay for their materials - after all they are worth!
That's it - we put a period.
In conclusion, we present the words of one angry copywriter who could not have successfully passed all ottyag, a companion of his craft - "With the help of copywriting, I do for a living, but most people have never even heard what this term means."
