If you are a copywriter looking to get your feet wet -- and don't know where to turn or how to get started -- this article will give you two simple ideas you can run with today and be making money by tomorrow.

But first, you need to know copywriting is in huge demand.

Reason why is because so many people are just afraid to write copy, dont know how to write copy, or are simply too lazy to learn.

And so, if you know even the bare basics of copywriting you are in big demand and you just need to find where the "starving crowd" (as master copywriter Gary Halbert puts it) is that are hungry for what you got.

Here are two ways you can get started:

1.) First, you could look at trade publications or magazines where you see ads, newspaper ads, anywhere in your local community, and usually there are phone numbers on there.

And you call or write these people and say, Hey, Im looking at your ad. Im a writer and Ive got a couple ideas that I think could double the response of your ad if youre interested. And that's it. If you call 20 or 30 people a day, Im sure you could pull in three or four jobs a day. Or at least get some good leads.

2.) And the second way to get started is you can take a persons brochure or letter or flier or display ad that you see in these publications -- the ones that you know aren't pulling anything -- and make a couple of corrections on them. Then, after that, send the corrected ad with a letter explaining that youve made these corrections and it should increase their response. And if they like what they see and want a completely redone marketing piece to contact you.

Now, neither of the above ideas are complicated and anyone can do them. And just doing these two things alone should give you more than enough business to get started. You just have to put in the effort.
