Anyone with experience of copywriting?
Don't know if this is a bit off-topic or not, so apologies if it is. I'm wondering if anyone here has any experience of copywriting (either past or current), as it's something I'm considering. There was an article in last autumn's Mslexia saying it's a good supplementary job for writers. I think I have realistic expectations - I certainly wouldn't expect to get a staff job, I know I wouldn't be getting "glamorous" commissions, and I don't expect it to make me rich! I'd feel more confident doing a course first as I don't know much about business, but there are a lot out there and it's hard to distinguish between them. Any advice or thoughts would be appreciated, thanks.

Best to have a look at some freelancing websites, building up the reputation is hard work, and there are plenty of people looking to try and con you out of your works/time/work You do need a business approach to it, and you certainly can't be too picky about what you take on!
