Freelance Copywriter at Self-employment as a freelance copywriter
A little about me: I have been self-employed as a freelance copywriter since January 2017 and have found my personal passion in this field. Before that, I already worked as a copywriter in a permanent position at an advertising agency, where I was responsible for writing copy for major clients such as Zalando and Otto.
The step into self-employment was primarily for my own growth, not least because of the constantly new challenges. Today, my range of services includes the following:
- SEO texts
- product descriptions and product texts (Google SEO, Amazon SEO, Amazon+)
- website texts and category texts
- classic advertising copy / PR
- flyers, catalogs and brochures
- blog posts and editorial articles
- metadata optimization
As part of regular training and through relevant specialist reading, I naturally keep up to date with industry developments (especially in the SEO field, and now also AI) — both with classic Google SEO and for specific platforms such as Amazon.
Past and current clients include, among others:
- Trusted Shops Magazine
- Fielmann AG
- KLUGO
- Pinkbus
- #sinob
- Eucerin
- Hess Klangkonzepte®
- DogUniversity
- Beauty Concept Shop
- SmartXplain (here, among others, copywriting in cooperation with REWE, BASF)
Billing is subject to VAT via tax number and invoice. As a rule, I work with my hourly rate; for recurring projects, fixed prices per text are also possible. Of course, we can also discuss this personally — either via direct messages here, by email, or by phone.
Even in times of artificial intelligence, my focus remains on my craft. I use AI as support for organization, but I do 100 percent of the copywriting myself.
I look forward to your inquiry!

About the role
What they write
Content writers turn business goals into clear text that people read and act on. They work on website pages, blog posts, landing pages, newsletters, product descriptions, thought leadership, and case studies. In Germany, they are often brought in when a company needs strong English or German content for a launch, a campaign, or a new editorial stream.
Core deliverables
- Website copy that explains products, services, and benefits
- SEO articles built around search intent and topic structure
- Landing page copy for campaigns, lead generation, and launches
- Product and category text for e-commerce teams
- Editorial content such as interviews, guides, and white papers
- Tone-of-voice updates and content refreshes for existing pages
Skills that matter
A strong content writer combines writing skill with research discipline. They can work from a brief, interview subject matter experts, and adapt tone for different audiences. Common tools and methods include CMS platforms, keyword research tools, content outlines, editorial calendars, and review cycles with marketing, sales, or product teams. Good copywriters and SEO writers also understand structure, readability, and internal linking.
When to hire one
Companies bring in freelance content writers when internal teams are overloaded, a specialist voice is needed, or content has to move quickly across several channels. They are a practical choice for brand refreshes, multilingual content, SEO updates, and campaign support. In Germany, freelancers are especially useful when local market language, industry jargon, and close coordination with marketing teams all matter.
What strong writers do well
- Ask the right questions before writing
- Keep messaging clear without sounding generic
- Match format, audience, and funnel stage
- Work cleanly with editors, designers, and marketers
- Handle revisions without losing the core message
- Deliver content that is ready to publish or easy to polish
Good fit and handoff
The best content writers do more than fill a page. They understand why the text exists, what action it should drive, and how it fits the wider content system. For companies, that means faster briefs, smoother reviews, and stronger output. For freelancers, it means visible impact, repeat work, and clearer scope from the start.
Frequently asked questions
Key details about Content Writers, drawn from the questions we get asked most.
A content writer creates text that supports marketing, sales, and brand communication. That can include website copy, blog posts, landing pages, emails, product descriptions, and case studies. The best writers do not just write well; they also shape the message so it fits the audience and the business goal.
Not always, but the roles overlap. A copywriter usually focuses more on persuasion and conversion, while an SEO writer places more weight on search intent, structure, and discoverability. Many freelance content writers in practice cover all three areas, especially on smaller teams.
Look for strong samples, clear thinking, and the ability to adapt to your tone of voice. A good content writer should ask about audience, purpose, and review process before starting. If the work is SEO-heavy, they should also show that they can use briefs, headings, and keywords without making the text awkward.
A freelancer makes sense when you need help quickly, the workload changes often, or the project needs a specific style or topic focus. This is common for launches, content audits, campaign support, and seasonal editorial work. A freelance setup also helps when your internal team needs extra writing capacity without adding headcount.
Companies in Germany often bring in content writers for B2B website content, German-language campaign copy, SEO articles, and product content. They are also useful when a team needs help adapting global messaging for the local market. Clear communication matters, especially when subject matter experts, legal reviewers, or marketing teams are involved.
Yes, most projects can be handled remotely. A content writer usually only needs a clear brief, access to source material, and a defined review process. On-site time can help for workshops, interviews, or brand-heavy projects, but it is not required for most writing work.
Review samples for clarity, structure, and consistency of tone. Strong work reads naturally, stays on message, and makes complex topics easy to understand. It also helps if the writer can explain how they approach research, editing, and feedback, because that often predicts the quality of the final result.
A solid content writer should be good at research, interviewing, editing, and working from feedback. For many projects, they also need basic SEO knowledge, CMS experience, and the ability to collaborate with designers, marketers, and subject matter experts. These skills make the work faster and reduce back-and-forth later.
