Copywriting jobs and freelance copywriting positions
Calling all freelance copywriters - and aspiring freelance copywriters! Be part of the coming creative outsourcing revolution. Globalisation has brought us many evils and material uncertainties, yet simultaneously opened up a plethora of outsourcing related freelance job opportunities, especially for copywriters.
Forget conventional job security. Build a freelance reputation.
Most companies do not need the services of a professional copywriter on a daily basis, yet when they do, they're willing to pay for it.
Freelancing as a full-time copywriting job can be tough and riddled with uncertainty, yet devoting a couple of hours per month to it in addition to your full-time copywriting job can hold distinct financial rewards.
The Freelance Copywriters Collective affords dynamic medium to heavyweight copywriters and creative writers of distinction the opportunity to get into the freelancing game - without giving up their creative day jobs! Sure, the deadlines won't always be reasonable. You do have the option of not taking on a freelance copywriting job when it comes your way; every once in a blue moon.
No flakes please!
We work on the Two Tick System. One negative tick is okay if we know you're a solid freelance writer; two, if a family member died or you discovered that your brain is rotting. But if you're a FNG, more than one "I am too busy with a deadline at work" or "It's my mom's 60th birthday today" excuse and your ass gets to walk the plank independently.
What does it take to get a copywriting job?
Check the below points to get a feel for your new manifesto if you're thinking about joining in:
- We do NOT miss deadlines
- Our work oozes creativity and energy
- Copywriting outputs are on brief, on time and within budget.
- We at no point in time blame a poorly written brief for ANYTHING
- If you cant handle screamer deadlines, you shouldn't be freelancing as a copywriter.
- If you cannot stick to commitments and manage your time, don't apply for a copywriting job.
- Creatively, you've got your own back. We do not pay you per hour to do the creative thinking for you. If you need to have a brainstorm to crack a copywriting job, organise one with your contemporaries. Bored copywriters are a dime a dozen.
What are the benefits of freelance copywriting jobs?
Good pay. Freelance rates are negotiable, depending on client's copywriting requirements, your freelance writing and job experience, international and local hothouse agency experience and - obviously - how many Loeries, Cleos, Assegais and Pendorings you've bagged in your time.
We believe that creative people should benefit from their own initiative and outputs, especially. Our outsourcing model features gross earning commissions on any copywriting job of no more than 30% - depending on the copywriting job in question, of course. As such, our freelance copywriters make good money.
The Originators will never issue anything but clear, concise and conclusive briefs. Should you have a question within 24 hours of receiving the brief, we'll get you the answers you need. You are also guaranteed of enough background information to make any copywriting job a cinch. But don't even bother panicking a Collective Originator at 10pm before a job deadline. It doesn't work that way.
Copywriting clients are primed to pay within weeks, not months. Should you need to wait a calendar month or more on a particular client, you will be told up-front.
Solid experience. There is no learning quite like doing, and freelancing could well give you the portfolio material you'd never have gotten under some meddlesome CD's thumb.
