Q2. How did you discover copywriting?
Before diving into copywriting I had an immense natural talent for literary writings. Later on I did my post graduation in Mass Communication studies where i discovered various forms of writings like scriptwriting, news writing and article writing etc. One day i was searching online side hustles to make $$$ where find COPYWRITING gigs. I was already involved in writing so copywriting was something that matches my interests and after researching about it i find copywriting a LIFESTYLE rather than a gig. I discovered that it is not just a skill but a lifestyle. It has the power to free you from your hectic 9 to 5 job. It gives you freedom, freedom to work from anywhere in the world, freedom to work at your own preferable timings, freedom to be your own BOSS, freedom to free yourself from your boss’s mental torture, freedom to hire and fire yourself, freedom to decide your weekends, freedom to hang out with friends anytime. And it the end, it is the freedom that all matters. I choses FREEDOM.
