Thinking About Becoming a Freelance Copywriter?

I have been working from home on a part time basis since 1989 and on a full time basis since 1993. While working from home has been very challenging, it has also been very rewarding for me.

My sister is leaving her job next month and is looking to take some Copywriting Courses to become a freelance copywriter. Just like me, she desires to work from home and make a living by doing something she loves…writing!

Earlier today she came to visit me and we got online and found several courses she can take from the comfort of her own home. There are several sites out there that offer them and we were pleasantly surprised to see how affordable the courses really are. I was thinking that they would cost an arm and a leg, but they don’t!

She estimates that she can have the courses done in just a few short weeks and then will set up her new freelance copywriting home business. With four children to help support and another one on the way, she is pretty confident in the decision she has made.

I am going to wait until I see how she does with her courses and perhaps when she is finished I will take a few of them too. I already have a professional ghostwriting business, perhaps adding copywriting skills will help to expand my already thriving business even more.

Do any of you work from home and if so, what kind of home business do you have? Do we have any professional writers who read our blog? If so, what kind of writing business do you have and when did you start it?
