The Copywriting Agreement
The Copywriting Agreement
All you wordsmiths out there - this is for you.
I’m convinced that copywriting is one of the best business ventures to enter into. Its a service that every business needs, and not one every business owner can provide for themselves.
But, your service is somewhat nebulous. For example:
how do you define the work to be done?
what if you’re dealing with a client who is never satisfied?
How do you know if you have successfully fulfilled your client’s expectations?
Who owns the words you produce?
This Copywriting Agreement covers all this and more.
