When I started as a freelance copywriter, my main breakthrough came via a design agency looking to expand its level of service. Joining forces worked extremely well for me; I got steady work coming in, without needing to promote my services for every new assignment.

It also seemed to work well for my designer, who had big ambitions for his agency. At first, having a copywriter in tow simply meant he could answer “yes” to prospective clients who wanted copy-based input. (As every freelancer knows, the day you refuse a client is often the day you lose a client.)
