What is a remote freelance writer?

A remote freelance writer is a professional who creates written content—such as articles, blog posts, marketing materials, or technical documents—while working independently from a location of their choice, rather than at a client's office. They typically work with multiple clients on a project or contract basis, managing their own schedules and assignments. Remote freelance writers often pitch ideas, meet deadlines, and communicate with clients primarily through email or online platforms. This role offers flexibility, but also requires self-discipline, good time management, and strong writing skills. Compensation can vary depending on experience, niche, and the type of work performed.

How do I get work as a remote freelance writer?

To get work as a remote freelance writer, build a portfolio of writing samples and create profiles on freelance platforms such as Upwork, Fiverr, or Freelancer. Networking, pitching to clients, and demonstrating strong writing skills and reliability are essential for securing assignments in this field.

How do remote freelance writers typically manage communication and feedback with clients who are in different time zones?

Remote freelance writers often work with clients from various locations, which requires clear communication strategies to ensure timely feedback and project updates. Most writers rely on email, project management tools, and messaging platforms to stay in touch, often setting expectations for response times and deadlines upfront. It's common to schedule regular check-ins or use collaborative documents for ongoing feedback. Being proactive about clarifying requirements and maintaining transparent communication helps prevent misunderstandings and keeps projects on track.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a remote freelance writer, and why are they important?

To thrive as a Remote Freelance Writer, you need excellent writing, research, and grammar skills, typically supported by a strong portfolio or relevant degree in English, journalism, or communications. Familiarity with content management systems (like WordPress), SEO tools, and collaboration platforms is often required. Strong self-motivation, time management, and communication skills help build client relationships and meet deadlines. These skills ensure the delivery of high-quality content, client satisfaction, and sustainable success in a competitive freelance market.

What does a remote freelance writer do?

As a remote freelance writer, you work from home to create written content for digital and print mediums. In this independent contract role, you may research information, write blog posts and articles, help write a book, update a website or social media outlet, and provide input on content for a publication. You often work through agencies that find clients and assign content for you to write, but it is also possible to work directly with the client to produce and edit content. The material you write could be as short as a few hundred words or as long as hundreds of pages, depending on the contract. You typically write longer material in stages so it can be edited and reviewed piece by piece.

How do I start remote freelance writing from home?

To start remote freelance writing, create a portfolio of writing samples and set up profiles on freelance platforms like Upwork or Fiverr. Develop strong writing skills, understand client needs, and establish a consistent schedule to find and secure projects from home.

Direct Response Copywriter-Producer (Remote)

Tried and True Media

Wilmington, DE • On-site, Remote

Full-time

Posted 4 days ago


Job description

Direct Response Copywriter-Producer
Tried and True Media (TNT) is a digital direct response agency in the health, wellness, and beauty space. We have generated over $1.2B in sales for our clients. We're looking for talented direct response copywriters who have experience (and specialize) in high-converting 1-5 minute Facebook & YouTube video ad scripts that drive traffic to VSL funnels. If you do not have experience in working with product-blind, long-form 30-45m VSL funnels, please do not apply.
You will join a team of performance managers, media buyers, and video editors who share a common goal - generate clicks that convert into high ROAS sales that scale client ad spend.
What Will You Be Responsible for?
There are three key types of work you'll be responsible for:
  1. First is writing video ad scripts for clients' offers. This will be 60% of the work you do in an average week. The scripts could be as short as 1 minute or as long as 5 minutes. Each script will include at least 4-5 different hooks, which will be tested to see what delivers the best ROAS.
  2. Secondly, you will produce the ad (from script to launch). This means you'll be providing our team of acting talent, editors, and animators with clear instructions on your ad's vision. You will monitor and oversee your script to ensure the final video looks, sounds, and "feel" the way you want it. You will provide feedback to various teams for this process.
  3. Finally, you will monitor ad performance and come up with ways to optimize the results. That means reviewing marketing data (ROAS, CTR, engagement rates, etc.) and figure out how to improve results like an "ad scientist". This may mean testing new hooks (first 10s of an ad), trying new formats (podcast vs. skits), or rerecording the ad with new spokespeople.

TNT is a data-driven company. The kind of copywriter-producers who thrive here aren't just "creative writers" or people who "just want to write". They are also obsessed with how well their ads do, are hungry for data, know how to diagnose what parts of their ads are working (or not), enjoy figuring out ways to "beat their own high score", and can handle multiple campaigns at the same time.
Qualities We're Looking For
  • You have a knack for crafting compelling copy that gets results...
  • You understand how to use both logic and emotion to persuade...
  • You love sifting through ad performance data to find the signal in the noise...
  • You thrive in a highly collaborative team environment of other high performers...
  • You are organized with tasks and deliver quality copy on time and on spec...
  • You pay attention to detail, obsessively questioning each part of your ad to "squeeze" the most performance out of it...
  • You can handle multitasking, changing priorities, and "react to data" as needed to rewrite copy...

In short, we are looking for copywriters with a "direct response marketer" mindset, who also have a visual sense of their ads, working in a fast-paced environment (and I don't mean in the usual corporate sense, it's genuinely fast-paced here). We want people who love creativity and numbers equally.
What's the Ideal Candidate's Background?
The ideal candidate has been writing video ad scripts for VSL funnels for at least a year for paid social (e.g. Facebook, Instagram, TikTok) or YouTube either for an agency, brand, or as a freelancer.
  • You've also had experience writing/testing various VSL components - particularly leads and closes.
  • Ideally, you also have experience writing for supplements, health and/or beauty products.
  • You're available for calls, Slack, and meetings between 10:30 - 5:30 p.m. ET (UTC-5, New York), regardless of where you live - important so we're all in the same rhythm and work efficiently.

More importantly... you live and breathe copy, obsessively spending time breaking down winners and losers to gain key insights, truly love the grind of perfecting a piece of copy until it sings... and passionately study the art and science of direct response copy on your own time, because, quite frankly, you simply cannot get enough of this stuff.
You love working in a team environment with other high-caliber creatives. You love to share insights, brainstorm hypotheses, run experiments, collaboratively deconstruct winners and losers and methodically create winner after winner.
What's It Like Working at TNT?
We've gone to great lengths to set up a culture that supports the creative freedom, skill progression, and handsome compensation that copywriters deserve. Moreover, we're heavily focused on collaboration and teamwork to ensure we have proper coverage across all our clients.
For example, we've structured our teams into cells, each of which has a portfolio of clients assigned. Each cell is composed of a performance manager, media buyer, creative producer, junior and senior copywriters, and video editors. Every cell is focused on the single goal of helping clients hit their spend and ROAS targets. Copywriters have a primary cell they work in but will be called in to write new ads for offers outside their cell as well.
Regardless of what cell you're in, everyone benefits from the following:
  • Access to Data - Access to the same performance data as everyone else so you can instantly see how your copy performs, detect patterns and gain insights.
  • Shared Learnings - Participation in our weekly Best Ads call wherein we review the top performers to see what's working, or not, for everyone else, accelerating your learning.
  • Clear Feedback / Mentoring - You'll be given clear feedback on your scripts and routine mentoring sessions to ensure you continually upskill and develop your craft.
  • Subject Variety - You'll be given a huge variety of subject matter to write about, with a mix of clients who have a mix of offers in your assigned cell, rotating to other cells over time.
  • Career Progression - Your success determines how fast your income progresses... there is no mandated bureaucratic waiting period; only success matters. Prove yourself and your skills and, as the need arises as the agency grows, you could be next in line to jump into a more senior role.

You'll often be given ideas to flesh out by the performance manager, copy chief, or colleagues in your cell. However, the most important part of your role will be to come up with new ideas and angles yourself, to execute on them, and then follow the numbers as you get results back.
How Will Your Time Be Spent?
While any given week can vary based on client demands, here's roughly how it shakes out:
  • 40% writing and producing scripts
  • 20% for research and resource gathering to prepare to write
  • 20% providing feedback to video editors
  • 20% on calls or in Slack strategizing, analyzing, brainstorming, getting feedback, mentoring or being mentored

Requirements
  • Minimum 3+ years of Health & Wellness Copywriting Experience - This is a must. We are looking for at least two FULL years of experience writing copy for brands in the health and wellness space (think supplements, beauty, fitness products, etc.), but more specifically, direct response companies who use product-blind, long-form (30-45m VSLs) funnels.
  • VSL Writing Experience (preferred) - Exposure writing leads, CTAs, closes and other high-leverage VSL elements that move the needle on conversion rate and AOV
  • English Speaker - You have excellent English skills, with top-notch speaking and (of course) writing abilities.
  • Passionate About Copy - In total awe of and in love with copywriting, appreciating the genius in it, obsessing over every word, phrase, sentence and paragraph
  • Constant Upskilling - Relentlessly works to improve copywriting abilities, studying courses, mentoring with senior writers, deconstructing ads, etc. all to perfect your craft
  • Ownership Mindset - Takes extreme pride in submitting high-quality work that's on time, on spec, been double checked, meeting all compliance guidelines, etc.
  • Contributes Ideas - Ability to formulate strong ideas and articulate them easily and clearly to others to get feedback and make the ideas even stronger.

Compensation: Base range $72,000-$96,000/annually + monthly bonus opportunity based on company performance and individual ad performance.
