No you don't need a slap.
You like telling people what they need and don’t need. Ok. Got it.
You don't have to start as a freelancer, that's true. But I wouldn't go bashing / reducing it's value to nothing either. It's like bashing somebody going to the gym and using machines instead of free-weights. At least they're going.
If you want to be wold class bodybuilder, maybe get in with the right crowd? Weekend warrior gym chubbies won’t cut it .
Copywriting may pay sweet F all, but that's not the point.
It is exactly the point.
Combine that skill with front end development, back end development, video production, voiceover artist, graphic design, book keeping and taxation, SEO and so on and you suddenly have all of the skills required to build tech startups from the ground up for $0 instead of expending $200-300,000+ before you get past the starting gate.
So… every copywriter must also do all of the above. Got it.
There's also nothing wrong with somebody who just wants to write a few blog posts or websites when they "feel like it", send invoices, and then get a villa by the beach overseas and have sex all day.
Because every copywriter on this forum lives this life. Hahahahhaa
Thanks for the humour. I needed it.
That's a pretty nice way to live too, and in some cases could actually be better than building a startup, especially if the alternative requires bringing in VCs who own your a$$ in much the same way an employee is owned!
Because the alternative to copywriting is VC startup funding. Got it.
You should always be wary of others who project and/or make a living out of telling others how to live their lives.
Ok, I got it. Don’t listen to you. You just projected yourself all over in this post. I’m not just wary, I am picking your arguments apart with ease.
What the hell would they know about you, and why would they care? F*** everyone else. Go after what you want, use every tool and avenue available to do it, and go at your own pace with your own success metrics.
Finally something of value. I believe that was the very point @Kak was making by starting this thread.
