The short playbook

  1. Pick one format and one industry. "Email sequences for ecommerce brands" gets hired faster than "writer".
  2. Draft in Claude or ChatGPT from a real brief: audience, offer, objection, call to action. Generic prompts produce generic copy.
  3. Edit every line. Run it through Hemingway or Grammarly, then cut anything that reads like a template.
  4. Show three samples in your chosen format. Clients buy from samples, not from a description of your process.

Common questions

Can you sell copy written with AI?

Yes. Clients are buying words that convert, not a certificate of human authorship. The catch is that raw AI output reads generic, so the editing pass where you cut the filler and match the client's voice is where the actual value lives.

How much does it cost to start?

About $20 a month. Claude Pro starts at $17 a month and ChatGPT Plus is $20, and the free tiers of Grammarly and Hemingway cover the polish pass while you are starting out.

How do you charge for copywriting?

Per project, not per word. Per-word pricing punishes you for being fast, and AI makes you fast. Email sequences commonly bill in the hundreds and sales pages from $500 into the low thousands, because both tie to revenue the client can measure. Blog posts sit lower, commonly $50 to $500 each.

Won't clients notice it's AI?

They notice bad copy, whatever wrote it. Unedited AI drafts have a recognizable sameness, which is exactly why businesses that tried the tools themselves and got mush become your best clients. Your job is the judgment the tool doesn't have.
