Copy writing

[Octopus37]

Hi,

I'm thinking seriously about pursuing a career as a copy writer. I know it will take a long time, but my plan is to study alongside my current job (freelance price checking an merchandising). I've nearly completed a short online course and I'm about to sign up for a course with the College of Media and Publishing (Black Friday deal, its a level 4 diploma). I was just wondering if anyone had got any experience of this course or any similar ones. As I say, I know its going to take time to complete my course and build up a potrfolio. I have got some writing experience (blogging) which I hopewill help a bit. Any advice would be welcome

I do aspects of cooywriting alongside other marketing activities.

I'd follow as many copywriters as possible on LinkedIn and see the content they release

Think about your target company and how you will approach them

Yes building porfolio is important but I'd also say you only need a few bits to show them

Thanks very much for the advice I will start making contact with people on linkedin when I have made some headway with my course. Thanks again.
