Welcome, Max, to the “Schreibsuchti Show”.
Max Längsfeld: Hello.
Walter Epp: Copywriting is a big topic – selling with words, selling with texts. You do it yourself and teach it to other people. How did you get there? It’s not an official educational path.
No I got into it very unofficially
I got into it in 2016. I was studying foreign languages in Munich to interpret English, French and Russian and I earned france email list my money as a waiter. That meant I carried trays at night and on weekends and somehow got into it during my studies. You practice translating and dealing with languages the whole time and then, I don’t remember how, I tried to do it online.
That’s where I got my first jobs translating texts
They were marketing texts via a freelance platform. It wasn’t very spectacular. I got 44 US dollars for it, which I didn’t even cloudy and rainy May – regionally wet spring pay tax on. Of course, I hadn’t registered as self-employed anhui mobile phone number list at that point either – I had simply created an Upwork profile and started. I earned 44 US dollars for translating the marketing text for an Amazon product page into German.
