Learn to Copywrite

I want to be a freelance copywriter. What’s the best way to start? I know you’ll all say join an agency, but with the market and everything it’s not that easy. I believe it may be cheaper to solicit my own services and build a portfolio from there.

Any advice on how to go about this? what I need?

To convince people to hire you independently, you will need to show references from those who have used your services, and examples of professional work completed. Regardless of how easy you think it will be to go this alone, it will be much harder - first you have to find companies that would need the services of a copywriter, and them convince them to hire you without any professional experience, references, or professional submissions. Look on your own if you want to, but in the meantime, join an agency, build up a portfolio, and then strike out on your own.
