Hi Lisa,

Few people are able to do both visual and verbal things well, but if you’re one of them, go for it! I would still certainly be sure to build your network with other designers and writers but being able to offer both design and copy in one could be extra convenient for your clients.

Hi Laura,

Remember that two of the reasons you’d use designers would be to demonstrate your ability to collaborate with designers (a very important skill) and to build your network of people who can refer *you* when they get a project and the client needs a copywriter. Plus, as great as canvas is, it’s just never going to match up to the quality of a professionally designed ad or sample and all of the nuances of that design. But you don’t need to be waiting until you get more experience – you should be seeking out designers who have the same level of experience as you do and who, similarly, need to build their portfolios so that working together is a win for both of you. 🙂

Hi Jelkyes,

I’m glad the post resonated with you and that you’re finding my info helpful! It’s genuinely my pleasure to help people build their own copywriting careers. 🙂

Hi Michelle,

First off, the vast majority of our students don’t have any copywriting experience when they start, so you’re in good company. 🙂 And, yep, you can absolutely work remotely with a designer to create spec ands—and, eventually, client projects. You can work with designers and clients anywhere in the world.

I am signing up for your course any day now and am immensely excited that I may have found something I would enjoy doing and be good at. I do have a concern with finding and working with a designer to create my first spec ads since I don’t have any copywriting experience. I live in the Southern Californian mountains in a “small” town and am wondering if finding a designer is possible remotely or if it must be done in-person?

Thank you for your time!
