Especially if you are just getting started in freelance writing, free deals for copywriters sounds pretty good. But, in your haste to become better educated in the business, make sure the incentive is a good enough reason to opt into whatever is being offered.
For example, I recently read a tag line that a freelance writer is offering free PDF for anyone that purchases what he has to sell. Since you will likely need to make PDF files at one time or another, it does sound like a good deal. But, I have a PDF program that I use at least twice a week; and, it does not cost me one red penny. Two pop ups come up while it is making the PDF; but, it is no big deal-especially for a FREE PDF.
Another Great FREE Deal
I received an unexpected gift this Christmas. My good friend and fellow freelancer sent me the book I mentioned in a previous post called New Path to Riches by Nick Osborne. It is a good book. In fact, I only have a couple more chapters to read. It has a lot of information for beginning freelancers and those of us who have been doing it for years, yet want to grow our businesses.
You can get New Path to Riches free, and it will not cost you any money. All you need to do is follow the link, read the blog entry, and see if that is something you would like to do. You do not have to spend any money to get something free in return. I already received my copy for Christmas, so I am doing nothing more than suggesting a good read.
Before Signing on the Dotted Line
In short, before opting into some product or service costing you money, in order to get the freebie, make sure it is something that you really want and need. A lot of the time, you can find the same product or service free, if you know where to look.
If you have any questions or suggestions for future post ideas, please contact me. If I do not know the answer, I will find it. Remember: I always welcome polite comments, even if you disagree. It makes for great dialog, and we can learn together.

Thanks for the plug, Tina! Truthfully, Usborne’s book is crammed with good information for both the novice and veteran copywriter. It’s a quick read too, so that means you can learn what you need to know and quickly apply it for bigger profits.
I also want to mention a company, iDictate, (www.idictate.com) for busy copywriters who want to outsource some of the more mundane tasks that hold us all back from being our most productive. Go take a look at their website and see if you don’t agree they can make your life a whole lot easier.
