Youâve been reading the Daily Drafts for a long time now {NAME}. Iâve shared my fears, my rants and my copywriting tips. But I havenât really introduced myself. I was recently asked, Why did I become a professional copywriter? And why do I keep at it? I could tell you that I chose a copywriting career because, from an early age words have bubbled up inside me, bursting to be set free. Or that Iâm so creative that I need an outlet to express my totally amazing, creative ideas. Both would be big fat fibs though. (Sorry) The truth is, I write because people pay me to. A girl's gotta earn a living, right? Is that shocking? Or disappointing? Why copywriting? Like many copywriters, I joined the throng of copywriters after working in other careers. I worked in IT for a solid double-handful of years before going back to school to do my Master in Marketing. I was working as a Marketing Manager when I heard about copywriting as a thing I could do. Do something I enjoyed full-time, and be my own boss. Was I dreaming?! I registered my business and started learning, immediately. In my post about [how lucky I am as a copywriter](, I explained a little more about that transition but since I began to focus most of my days on the task of writing, I apply myself to work as I've never done before. I won't pretend that I never have days when I'd prefer to be doing anything else but I really enjoy the process of writing. I stare at my computer, like a zombie, enthralled in the project Iâm working on. I donât take enough breaks. I work evenings. Itâs too much! But⦠I really enjoy the process of choosing the right word to give a sentence the right cadence and rhythm. I also love the psychology behind copywriting. I get to nerd out on marketing and I love sitting back and pondering people as part of my work. Working with clients is obviously a big part of copywriting and I get a kick out of figuring out how to shine a spotlight on a business. Praise from my clients, when I get it right, is the dopamine hit I crave. It's the hit that keeps me in the copywriting game. I also enjoy running a business. My business. Especially the marketing. I looooove marketing. How about you? How and why did you get into copywriting? If youâre not a copywriter, then how did you get to dig the topic enough to read all these emails from me? ;) Belinda Improve your copy skills and confidence with training and support (and have a giggle with other word nerds) in my free Facebook group: For The Love Of Copy.
