21 Sites to Find Work from Home Copywriting Jobs

If you know how to write, know how to sell, and love doing both, then work-from-home copywriting jobs may be a good fit for you.

Copywriting jobs have always been in demand in marketing as well as advertising agencies, but with the advent of the internet and the never-ending demand for content, copywriters for online platforms to supply this demand are all the more sought after.

In today’s article, you’ll learn what copywriting involves, where you can find work-from-home copywriting jobs, and how much you can expect to make as a copywriter.

What Does a Copywriter Do?

Copywriting is the act of writing text for the purpose of promoting a product or service.

The written material, called “copy,” aims to increase brand awareness and in the process, persuade people to take a particular “action.”

Traditionally, this copy goes into magazines, flyers, radio and TV ads, infomercials, billboards, direct mailings, and other media.

Nowadays, copy goes into emails, websites, social media, videos, and other online media.

This action can be anything from signing up for a mailing list, commenting or liking on social media, or buying from a website.

Thanks to the internet as well, copywriters now have the option of working from home, which opens the option of taking on multiple clients.

There is no fee to join LinkedIn, but you need a real mobile number and legit e-mail to verify your account.

Most businesses post their job vacancies on their respective LinkedIn pages. The best part about sorting through LinkedIn job ads is that the site is built using a solid search engine. This means you can easily filter jobs by location (remote/on-site), job type, industry or niche, experience level, and more.

You should also take advantage of the space LinkedIn gives you for free. You can pimp your LinkedIn page and showcase your writing skills, certifications, work experience, “friends you know,” and even writing samples (if you decide to post publicly on your newsfeed).

How Much Can You Earn From Work From Home Copywriting Jobs?

If you don’t have a fixed salary from a regular employer, estimating salary becomes a bit tricky.

Depending on your clients’ paying scheme or the copywriting websites you’re a member of, you can charge by the hour ($25-$35/hour), by the word (10 cents to $1 per word), per project, or any other basis.

This means your salary as a freelance copywriter is based mostly on your personal output and how many projects you can handle at a time.

But if you’re lucky and get a steady, regular employer, your salary becomes more predictable. It may be less than what other freelancers make, but there’s the possibility of getting health insurance and maybe even a 401(k).

Final Thoughts

If you’re a skilled writer and a natural at convincing people to do or buy something, being a copywriter can be a lucrative career choice for you.

What’s more, applying for work from home copywriting jobs allows you to do it in the comfort of your own home or even while traveling.
