I never studied journalism. I never took a copywriting or content writing course. Heck, I didn’t even know what copywriting was!

But on April 1, 2022, I sent a $2000 invoice for my copywriting services to a client.

If you’d like to learn how I did it, please continue reading. 😉

Step 1: I created an Upwork account.

I created my account on July 31, 2018. But my profile kept getting rejected, so it was never open to the public. It wasn’t until December 12, 2020, that my profile got approved and went live!

Step 2: I bought a domain.

I wanted to build a personal brand website, so I knew I needed a domain. I bought it on namecheap.com for $7.98 on November 7, 2020.

After buying the domain, I had to wait 60 days* before I could link it to my Wix account. Wix is the website building platform that I decided to use, but more on that later.

*You don’t have to wait for 60 days to move your domain anymore.
