This article will discuss the average salary for an employed or freelancing copywriter.<\/p>\n

If you’re an employed copywriter, you can make a little or a lot of money depending on your skill level and how well you advertise yourself. In 2005 the average salary for a copywriter was around $60,000 with bonuses, according to Advertising Age. (quoted from http:\/\/www.collegeboard.com)<\/p>\n

The income for a freelance copywriter is more difficult to estimate. Some charge their clients for each project while others charge an hourly rate. To help you better understand what a freelance copywriter can make, here are some rough figures from 2005: Freelancers generally charged $1000 to $2000 for a lead generating sales letter and $300 to $400 for a website.<\/p>\n

Two out of every five copywriters makes between $50,000 and $100,000 gross income a year. Go ahead and take advantage of some survey results that you can purchase at http:\/\/www.excessvoice.com\/copyfees.htm. These will help you make the most money and keep you from undercharging yourself.<\/p>\n
