With more writers on Upwork than mirrors in Donald Trump's office, you have an important decision to make. Do you want a copywriter who sold their soul during the AI-Pocalypse — churning out bland, pre-chewed content while sipping oat milk lattes in Starbucks... Or a human who takes the time to understand your target audience and pain points, and crafts emotionally-resonant copy that sounds like your unique brand, not a digital parrot regurgitating buzzwords? BREAKING NEWS: I stayed human. While my colleagues became prompt-chugging zombies who outsourced their writing to toasters with Wi-Fi, I honed my talent and discovered the best strategies for supercharging growth for B2B and B2C brands. Sure, AI can string words together at lightning speed, but it comes with a high cost. Because what AI doesn't have is the one thing that's needed to deeply connect with your prospects and motivate them to take out their credit card—empathy. Empathy can't be coded. Your synthetic scribe can't feel the real frustrations, desires, or dreams of your target audience. So you'll never earn their trust, and turn passive readers into loyal customers. Empathy is my superpower! By deeply understanding your audience's pain points—and what's driving them beneath the surface—my copy blends emotional intelligence with proven sales strategy for sustainable growth. Because in a world drowning in AI-generated copy, what stands out isn't more of the same—it's copy that actually sounds human. Because it is. Still trusting your content to a bot with a thesaurus? Here's what I bring to the table instead: ✅ Cold Emails with human hooks, not robotic "just circling back" clichés ✅ Email Campaigns that convert—not written by a copy-vomiting robot mistaking buzzwords for persuasion ✅ Newsletters that don't sound like they were written by a slightly confused intern named GPT ✅ Video Scripts with rhythm, voice, and zero cringe — because AI can't write for ears ✅ Articles, Blogs & E-Books that sound like people wrote them — because one did ✅ Website Copy that connects like a conversation, not a corporate compliance bot in a blazer ✅ Direct Mail written by a human, not a printer possessed by AI that's selling discount roofing ✅ PPC Ads that grab attention without screaming like an algorithm on Adderall ✅ LinkedIn Profiles & Messaging that sound like you, not a bot pretending it understands networking ✅ Ghostwriting that sounds like you—not me, not HAL, not some guy named Brad from Fiverr Need copy that doesn't sound like Siri on improv night? Let's talk.

Let's be frank: most copywriters on this platform couldn't sell a bag of sand to a sheikh. Not because they're bad. They just haven't clocked who they're actually up against. In 2026, your copy isn't competing with other brands anymore... It's competing with TikTok. Reels. A bottomless pit of quick-hit entertainment engineered by the smartest people alive to be more interesting than you. Your buyer's thumb has been trained like a drunk slot-machine addict in Vegas. Swipe, hit, swipe, hit, repeat. They'll discard a boring sentence in less time than it takes to blink - and they don't feel bad about it, because there's an AI dancing dog in pyjamas waiting for them next. That's the arena now. Your ads. Your emails. Your sales pages - all of it shoved into the same two inches of glass, fighting a literal dopamine casino for 0.2 seconds of human attention. Most copywriters try to out-entertain that feed. You can't. Nobody can. The only way out? Crafting a sales message so scarily accurate to their most burning problems, it’s impossible to ignore. This is what I specialise in. And I’ve made $10M+ in attributed revenue doing it. ✔️ I mine the deep nooks and crannies your buyers vent in - reviews, comments, forums, the threads they think no one else is reading. ✔️ I dig out the 2am confessions they'd never even reveal to their friends, and aim them straight back. ✔️ I find the angle already buried in feedback your team's too slammed to read, and build the whole hook around it. ✔️ And I hunt down the hidden angles already printing money in your market - then build yours off what's proven to stop thumbs, not what sounds clever. Your customers wrote your best copy years ago. I just go in and extract it. Here’s what I help with specifically: ✔️ Cold traffic funnels - ads, advertorials, sales pages ✔️ Email retention - flow buildouts, email opt-in forms, and ongoing campaigns ✔️ Landing page & Website copy ✔️ VSL copy ✔️ Full-stack creative strategy I mostly work with D2C & B2C brands (but my methods also work well for B2B). How do we start? It isn’t a 45-minute "discovery call" at 5:45pm on a Friday. Send me a page, an email, an ad, anything. I'll tear it apart for free and show you exactly what’s leaking. Worst case, you get a brutal second opinion that costs you nothing. If your copy's already beating TikTok for attention, godspeed. If not, send me a message and let’s chat. Marcus

▶️ 𝗔 𝗨𝗻𝗶𝗾𝘂𝗲 𝗦𝘁𝗮𝗿𝘁: I was the kid in elementary school who rented out pencils to other students for $0.10 because I saw a shortage in the market. *** 𝗪𝗵𝘆 𝗬𝗼𝘂 𝗡𝗲𝗲𝗱 𝗠𝗲: I possess roughly two decades of experience working with companies across multiple industry verticals, from startups to Fortune 1000 companies alike, and my time as a marketer has cultivated a distinctive skill set that makes me a nightmare for your competitors. *** ▶️ 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗧𝘄𝗶𝘀𝘁 𝗜𝗻 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗣𝗹𝗼𝘁: I don't just act as a marketer; I read the room (quite literally, sometimes).

You know your offer is solid. So why isn’t your copy doing that converting thing? Perhaps your Sales Page is getting traffic, but nobody is clicking where they should. Or you're sending emails that get opened (congrats) but that's about it... Maybe you run some Meta or Google ads and then immediately pull them because they're wasting your money. It's all a bit of a mess and quite frankly - random. Or is it? I’m Colin. A sales copywriter who helps online businesses make more money with landing page copy, sales letters, email copywriting, ads and the occasional blog post or case study. You’ve probably worked with copywriters before. The copy probably looked fine. But did it actually do anything for your business except incur a cost? I'll let you answer that one. My goal is to write you copy that fixes all that and avoids the random horrors mentioned above. Because you don't have time for that and neither do I. Here’s what I do: 🚀 Acquire – Grab Those Clicks • Paid-ad hooks & scroll-stoppers (Meta, LinkedIn & Google Ads) • Quiz & lead-magnet opt-ins • Above-the-fold hero section rewrites that cut your bounce rate ⚡ Activate – Turn Clicks Into Customers • High-converting landing pages & sales letters • Product-launch email sequences • Website copy audits/rewrites that move visitors to the next click 🔄 Retain & Upsell – Turn One Sale Into Many • Onboarding emails that elicit that “Aha!” moment faster and make sure you're not forgotten • Lifecycle & promo flows (Klaviyo, ConvertKit) that keep revenue rolling in without you or your team manually hitting “send” every day. • Reactivation win-back campaigns that resurrect dormant users 🏆 Authority – Become The Go-To Voice • Long-form thought-leadership & SEO blogs • Customer success stories & case studies • Founder-voice LinkedIn ghostwriting This isn’t guesswork. I dig into customer research, voice-of-customer data and proven conversion frameworks. Then I write in plain English that sticks, clicks and sells. My clients are smart, busy and want copy that pulls its weight. If your copy needs to do something - not just exist in the digital ether, then I’m your guy. What to expect when you hire me: ✔️ Day-0 Discovery - No Guesswork Quick kickoff call or chat so we hit the ground running. ✔️ Customer-Language Deep Dive I mine reviews, surveys, support tickets and forums; the copy echoes your audience’s own words and clears stakeholder approval faster. ✔️ Brand-Perfect Tone. First Draft First Draft delivered in 48 hours for your checkin, approval or amendment requests. ✔️ Revision Loops I’ll keep polishing the copy until you’re thrilled at no extra cost, provided we’re still aiming at the agreed brief. ✔️ Simple Guarantee If I’m not the best fit after discovery, I’ll say so on day one and point you in the right direction - saving you time, money and headaches. Ready to Get Copy That Actually Does Its Job? Tell me what you’re working on and I’ll let you know how I’d approach it. Click “Invite to Job” or send me a message.

Copywriter hiring guide

Copywriters craft persuasive text designed to guide audiences through every stage of the sales funnel. From catchy taglines and SEO-friendly web copy to vivid product descriptions and email campaigns, these professionals help businesses communicate effectively with their target market. Hiring a skilled copywriter can dramatically improve conversion rates, strengthen brand messaging, and drive measurable results across marketing channels.

What does a copywriter do?

A copywriter writes content designed to persuade, inform, or convert. The goal is to connect with a target audience and guide them toward a specific action, whether that's buying a product, signing up for a newsletter, or downloading a white paper.

Where content writers focus more on information, copywriters often specialize in direct response, search engine optimization (SEO), and brand voice, often collaborating with brand strategists for comprehensive messaging.

Key deliverables include:

  • SEO and digital copy: Web pages, blog posts, social media posts, video scripts, and email newsletters

  • Brand and creative copy: Taglines, brand stories, corporate communications, product packaging, event promotion

  • Direct response and marketing copy: Sales and landing pages, email marketing, paid ads, case studies, white papers, press releases

How to hire a copywriter on Upwork

Upwork can help you connect with experienced copywriters who can help your content reach and convert its audience. The hiring process is flexible, fast, and built to help you find talented, experienced professionals. Just follow these four simple steps.

Step 1: Craft a targeted job post

Your job post serves as the first point of contact with copywriters and directly influences the quality of applications you receive. In your post:

  • Specify the type of copy you need, such as landing pages, email funnels, or product descriptions

  • Describe your industry, target audience, and preferred brand tone

  • Include desired outcomes or KPIs (key performance indicators) like conversion rates or engagement metrics

  • Mention any required research, revisions, or optimization expectations

For a faster starting point, try the Job Post Generator powered by Uma™, Upwork's Mindful AI. Describe what you need in a few sentences, and Uma will craft a job post in seconds. You can also review copywriter job description templates to see what to include in your post.

Step 2: Filter and evaluate candidates

As you receive proposals, you can compare candidates based on their portfolios, proposals, and testimonials.

  • Use Upwork’s features to filter by rate, experience, and location

  • Have Uma conduct instant video interviews and provide shortlists of candidates with side-by-side comparisons

  • Review portfolios for similar deliverables and writing styles that match your brand

  • Look for SEO knowledge, direct response expertise, or specialized certifications

  • Check testimonials and any documented conversion metrics from past clients

Step 3: Interview your top choices

Quick video interviews can provide answers to any questions you have left for your top choices. They also help you get a feel for what working and communicating with candidates might be like.

  • Schedule and conduct interviews within Upwork messaging, where you'll receive immediate transcripts and summaries provided by Uma

  • Ask about their copy testing and optimization processes

  • Discuss their writing workflow and approach to revisions

  • Explore how they adapt tone and messaging for different audiences

  • Have them walk you through how previous work drove measurable results

To help your interviews be productive, you can review interview questions for copywriters.

Step 4: Agree on scope and begin work

Before the person you choose can begin work, you’ll need to have a clear contract in place. Contracts protect both parties and help collaborations be successful from beginning to end.

  • Use Upwork’s tools and services for creating and managing contracts, and processing payments

  • Choose fixed-price contracts for projects with clear deliverables, such as writing a predetermined number of pieces

  • Create milestone to break larger projects into manageable sizes, such as research, outlining, first draft, and revisions

  • Choose hourly contracts for ongoing projects or projects that lack a clear deliverable, such as supporting ongoing marketing efforts with many drafts of different types of content

Once the contract begins, be sure to give the writer everything they need to succeed, including limited access to Google Drive folders, brand guides, and similar assets.

How much does hiring a copywriter cost?

The cost to hire a copywriter is determined by the scope and complexity of the project, as well as the skills and experience of the professional. Hourly rates for copywriters on Upwork range between $19-$45 per hour. The following chart lists typical costs for projects frequently found through Upwork.

Frequently asked questions

Is hiring a copywriter worth it?

Yes, hiring a copywriter is worth the investment, especially if you're running a B2C business or launching a product. A strong landing page or email funnel written by a skilled professional can dramatically improve conversion rates. For some small businesses, a single rewrite can be the difference between break-even and profitability.

What qualifications should a copywriter have?

Qualifications you should look for include strong writing skills, a solid understanding of marketing strategy, and the ability to connect with your target audience. Instead of focusing on degrees, review their portfolio and highlight required skills in your job description. The best copywriters can show examples of copy that converts and explain the thinking behind their messaging.

Are copywriters still in demand?

Yes, copywriters are more in demand than ever. As digital marketing and e-commerce continue to grow, businesses need skilled copywriters to craft messaging that converts. While many teams experiment with AI tools, the results often fall short when it comes to brand voice, nuance, and strategy. Businesses continue to rely on professional copywriters when ROI and customer experience are on the line.

How do I find a copywriter?

To find a copywriter, start by defining your project. Then search for freelance copywriters with relevant experience. Upwork makes it easy to browse portfolios, compare ratings, and find professionals who specialize in your industry. Look for candidates who have worked on similar projects and can adapt to your brand's tone.

Is an AI or human copywriter better?

For copywriting, professional writers are best; crafting text that converts takes creativity and expertise that AI has yet to achieve. AI tools can help generate drafts, but they often miss brand voice and emotional cues. Skilled human copywriters deliver messaging that's tailored, persuasive, and aligned with your goals.

What types of projects do copywriters work on?

Copywriters contribute to a wide range of projects. Their job is to write copy that converts users. This includes web copy, landing pages, sales letters, social media posts, email marketing campaigns, product descriptions, and white papers. Some specialize in content marketing, while others focus on direct response or SEO.

Should I employ a full-time copywriter or engage a freelancer?

For most businesses, hiring a freelance copywriter offers more flexibility and value. Freelancers are ideal for project-based work, like a new landing page or sales email sequence. You get access to specialized talent without the overhead of a full-time hire. In-house copywriters can be a good fit for companies with ongoing, high-volume content needs.
