The income of a copywriter or how much a copywriter receives for 1000 characters

If you are a novice copywriter or just want to become one, then you probably wondered about earning. How much will I earn working for myself? And in a year? And if I get a job in an agency or a company? Answers to such questions are below.

So, how much does a copywriter really earn?

Let’s conditionally divide the levels of earnings of a copywriter into 3 steps.

Newbie

A beginner can be considered someone who has recently learned that you can make money on the Internet and has registered on one or more copywriting exchanges.

The approximate cost of such a “copywriter” is $0.5-1 per 1000 characters. “Success” is considered orders with a payment of $ 3 / 1000 characters.

Although these fees seem modest, you can still make good money even at such rates.

Let’s say you have several regular customers who pay $1/1000 characters. That is, work for every day is provided. I consider 20,000 characters per day as the acceptable volume. In total, you can earn 20 * $1 = $20 per day, or 5 * $20 = $100 per week, or 4 * $100 = $400 per month.

Yes, the money is small. But compare how much such a copywriter earns and an ordinary hard worker in the Ukrainian or Russian outback.

What to do to become a beginner copywriter:

Register on freelance exchanges: free-lance.ru, advego.ru, textsale.ru, weblancer.net, etc.
Get yourself WebMoney and YandexMoney e-wallets.
Learn how to work on the stock exchanges.
Understand some copywriting terms.
Be patient and start working.

Specialist

Specialists are people who have worked as copywriters for at least 1-2 years.

To grow professionally, you need to replenish your knowledge base. Therefore, a specialist should read professional literature and improve his skills. Only then will he be able to raise prices for his services.

Specialists most often earn $7-15/1000 characters. Let’s say a copywriter asks $5 for 1,000 characters and has enough orders to complete 10,000 per day. So, 10 * $5 = $50 per day, 5 * $50 = $250 per week, 4 * $250 = $1000 per month. It comes out pretty good.

What to do to become a specialist:

Read professional literature. Don’t limit yourself to copywriting books. Read books on SEO, marketing, sales, psychology. I am sure that all this will help to write convincing texts. If you are engaged in articles in any narrow subject, then you constantly replenish your knowledge in this industry as well.
Read blogs, attend master classes and trainings by eminent copywriters.
Work for quality, not quantity.
Try to get regular customers. So you can spend more time writing texts, and not looking for clients.
Promote your brand. Make a blog and regularly write posts on copywriting and related topics, create social media profiles, write an article in thematic media, etc. Read more: “Effective personal brand promotion strategies”.

Master

If you look at the top performers on Free-lance.ru, you can see that a top copywriter’s earnings can be $1500-3000 per month.

Masters can charge 150-300$ for 1 article. And it’s not that they write beautifully, but that their texts can increase sales. Practical business owners understand that a one-time investment of $250 can bring them thousands and tens of thousands of dollars. That’s why they pay so much money to master copywriters.

Lyricist gurus make money not only by writing texts. In addition, they trade and sell educational materials on copywriting (books, trainings, master classes), participate in affiliate programs.

Masters’ main trump card is their experience. Thanks to him, they are able to earn $ 2000-4000 monthly.

It is not uncommon for copywriters to open their own advertising agencies.

What you need to do to become a master:

Gain successful experience in sales with the help of text.
To be promoted by the brand.
Become a specialist not only in copywriting, but also in sales, marketing and internet marketing.

Work in a company/agency

Recently, the research center of the Superjob.ru portal published information about the offers of employers and the expectations of applicants for the position of a copywriter in 12 cities of Russia.

From which we can conclude that the average salary in Russia is 560 dollars per month.

So, we conclude that the profession of a copywriter is promising, interesting, in demand and, most importantly, profitable!

How much do copywriters earn: average salaries for beginners and pros

Everyone is already used to looking for the necessary information, goods or services on the net. But in order for users to get the information they need, someone has to write it. And so today the profession of a copywriter is one of the most popular. But, in addition to being in demand, everyone who is attracted to a career in this field is interested in one more question – how much do they pay for it?

Data on the salary of copywriters in the network are very diverse. Let’s figure out which numbers are true, and what explains such a spread in prices. In this article, we will tell you how much a copywriter can earn, and what your income will depend on.

How are copywriters paid

Before talking about how much a copywriter earns, you need to find out on what basis his work is billed. That is, for which he will be charged a salary. There are such payment options for the work of a copywriter:

What determines the salary of a copywriter per month

Deciding to find out how much copywriters earn per month, you will be surprised by the huge range of figures mentioned – from $ 100 to $ 3,000, and even more. Which of these data is true? Oddly enough, but the entire range of named salaries corresponds to reality .

A copywriter, unless he is employed by a particular company or agency and does not receive a fixed salary as an office worker, rarely earns the same amount every month. But formal employment in a company is a rather rare case. Most copywriters work remotely. And the amount they can earn per month will depend on the following factors.

1. Level of professionalism

Newbie . Do not count on a very large salary at the beginning of a career. A person who has just entered this field mainly works on a freelance exchange, receives the simplest orders, and is paid the minimum. The main thing for him during this period is to gain experience and get good reviews in order to raise his rating. A beginner can earn from $300 per month.
Intermediate level . When you have already collected a sufficient number of positive reviews and acquired a number of useful skills, you can look forward to complex, expensive tasks. Accordingly, for their implementation, you can already earn a more significant amount per month – more than $ 600.
Pro . The highest paid copywriters who are fully dedicated to this occupation receive from $ 1,000 per month for their services. They are capable of the most difficult tasks, and they set the price they charge for their execution. The salary of copywriting masters is justified by their high professionalism and promoted image. In order to achieve such milestones, it is necessary to constantly develop and improve oneself. Training courses, specialized literature, and constant practice will help you with this.

2. Labor productivity

A remote copywriter is a “free artist” who sets his own standards. And how much he can earn per month will depend on:

Job execution speeds;
Time allotted for work;
Number of working days per week.

Each person has his own limits of possibilities . Someone is able to write 3-5 texts in 1 day, and someone is able to write 1 text in 3 days. Some can work daily for 8-10 hours, while others – no more than 3-4 hours a day and only 2-3 times a week. Accordingly, the salary of copywriters per month will be very different because of this.

3. Workload

The desire to earn as much as possible does not mean that you will always have orders. Especially at the initial stage, when a beginner himself is looking for a job on the stock exchange in the face of huge competition.
Having earned a name for yourself and regular customers, you can already count on a stable influx of orders and a higher salary.
