I stumbled upon copywriting unexpectedly. After leaving my 6-year corporate job, I embarked on a journey to London. During my two-month stay, I found myself irresistibly drawn to the ads on the tube. Writing had always been a passion, but I hadn’t realized its potential for monetization. Curiosity led me to explore copywriting. As I delved into the subject, I discovered that I had been practicing it unknowingly back in college while crafting product descriptions for my online shop in Multiply.com. Driven by my newfound passion, I dove deeper into the world of copywriting. I invested in courses, devoured books, and immersed myself in the craft. Eventually, I landed my first freelance client on Upwork, marking the beginning of an exciting journey.
