One copywriter with less than a year of experience earned more than $100,000. And 15 copywriters with just 1-2 years of experience reported earning between $100,000 and $250,000. So while experience will help increase what you earn, it\u2019s not the only thing to consider.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Creating value and charging for it is more important. <a href=\"https:\/\/thecopywriterclub.com\/do-copywriters-need-a-niche\/\">Choosing a niche<\/a> also appears to be important.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Let\u2019s take a closer look at how experience changes what copywriters charge for their work.<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We broke out the project types by experience level\u2014Less than one year, 1-2 years, 3-5 years, 6-10 years, and 10+ years.

copywriters gain experience, they tend to charge more for the work they do. Part of that is because with experience, copywriters get better at understanding the value they create for their clients and how to talk about that. The more value they deliver, the more they can charge for the work they do.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But that doesn\u2019t mean you need to wait until you have 10+ years of experience to charge the rates those copywriters charge. If you deliver a similar level of value and service, you may be able to charge those rates even if you only have been writing for a year or two.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We saw copywriters who had less than a year\u2019s experience charging as much as $5,000 for a sales page and as much as $250 for an hourly consult. Both of these prices are well above the average copywriter at their experience level. There\u2019s no reason you can\u2019t do the same IF you deliver a similar level of service.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Want more pricing and income information?
