Hello, pumpkins. I'm Alex. More specifically, I'm Alex, and I'm a teenager. More importantly, I'm Alex, I'm a teenager, and I want to start my own freelance copywriting career. I've already got my niche market - small, sexy businesses that need sexy web copy to match. I want to slather their webpages with jello, cool whip, and a delicious minty aftertaste that leaves their customers licking their lips for their product (and possibly a pina colada, but that's a personal problem). Slight catch, though. I'm not exactly sure how to get started. I know I must open a website (luckily, I took an HTML class not too long back), get a snazzy name, become known for what I'm doing, and just stick with it, but god, isn't that sort of vague? I mean, I'm not asking to be spoon fed or anything, but how would I even go about getting my first few clients? Ooh, also - is it all even legal? Explanations as well as links are appreciated. Thanks in advance. (I swear I'll give red wine and a slap on the - oh wait, that will get me banned or something, you'll have to settle for being selected as the best answer.) "And exactly who would be writing copy for?" Small firms who can't afford to hire full-time copywriters. Cool ones.

And exactly who would be writing copy for? There are VERY few people who need freelance copywriters. How do I know? I've been writing copy for radio stations for many many years, and I've never needed one. Nor has anyone I know.
