(PRWEB) February 24, 2004 --Writers who want to extend their skills to copywriting (writing for business) have found an interactive email course that helps them to set up their own copywriting services business in eight short weeks.

Veteran writer Angela Booth, who's a copywriter, as well as a feature writer for magazines, developed the "Writing Words that Sell: Freelance Copywriting" email workshop in 2002.

She's pleased that the course, at http://www.digital-e.biz/ecourses2.html , has been so well-received by writers. "Many writers are unaware of the huge demand for business writing skills," Booth said. "They're amazed when the workshop, which includes exercises and personal coaching, helps them to get their new business off the ground so quickly. Students can take the course at their own pace, in their own time."

Writers with creativity and communication skills are in high demand in the global economy. All businesses need effective marketing materials, especially for the Web. Experienced copywriters are earning up to $3 per word to write Web sales pages of from between 1500 and 4000 words.

"I wanted to create a course that teaches copywriting skills, while leading writers through the process of getting their own copywriting business off the ground," says Booth. "So by the second lesson, writers are sending out direct mail letters to market their business. By the end of the short eight week course, they've developed a marketing process, are regularly sending out news releases, and are building a stable of regular clients. Our Digital-e Web site at http://www.digital-e.biz/ contains a library of free articles they can use to expand their skills further. We also have two free ezines for writers to build their writing and business competence."

Although most of the "Writing Words that Sell: Freelance Copywriting" students are writers, several web entrepreneurs have also taken the course, using it to market their information products online, and to create new information products.
