4 of the Highest Paying Copywriting Niches (Episode 130)
As you know, we do not recommend choosing a copywriting niche when you’re just starting out as a copywriter. That advice still applies. There are high-paying copywriting clients across any and every industry. That said, there are four industries that tend to have clients willing to pay more—and higher paying projects—than other industries. (Emphasis on tend.) You may incorporate these industries on your pitch list, but we’d recommend not limiting yourself to any single industry—or judging any single industry based on one client or one experience. Listen in to hear what these industries are and what you need to know about each of them. --------------- Mentioned on this Episode: Your Unique Selling Point: Set Yourself Apart from the Competition --------------- Get Free Copywriting Training here
