Freelance Copywriter at Self-employed 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 worked as an employed copywriter at an advertising agency, where I wrote copy for major clients such as Zalando and Otto.
Taking the step into self-employment was primarily about my own growth, not least through constantly taking on new challenges. Today, my services include:
- SEO copy
- Product descriptions and product copy (Google SEO, Amazon SEO, Amazon+)
- Website copy and category copy
- Traditional advertising copy / PR
- Flyers, catalogs, and brochures
- Blog posts and editorial content
- Metadata optimization
Through regular training and relevant specialist literature, I naturally keep up to date with developments in the industry (especially in SEO, and now AI as well) — both traditional Google SEO and specific platforms such as Amazon, for example.
Past and current clients include:
- Trusted Shops Magazine
- Fielmann AG
- KLUGO
- Pinkbus
- #sinob
- Eucerin
- Hess Klangkonzepte®
- DogUniversity
- Beauty Concept Shop
- SmartXplain (including copywriting in collaboration with REWE and BASF)
I invoice with VAT using my tax number. I generally work at my hourly rate; for recurring projects, flat rates per text are also possible. I would be happy to discuss this with you personally — via direct message here, by email, or by phone.
Even in the age of artificial intelligence, I remain focused on my craft. I use AI to support me with organization, but I write all the copy myself.
I look forward to hearing from you!

About the role
What they write Copywriters turn a brief into clear, persuasive text that makes people act. They work on website copy, landing pages, ads, email campaigns, product pages, sales decks, scripts, and brand messaging. Strong copy is concise, on brand, and built for a clear goal.
Typical deliverables
- Ad copy for search, social, and display
- Landing page and website copy
- Email flows, newsletters, and nurture sequences
- Product and category descriptions
- Taglines, slogans, and campaign lines
- Tone of voice guides and messaging frameworks
Core skills A strong copywriter combines writing craft with commercial thinking. They ask the right questions, understand the audience, and translate product value into language that feels natural. They also know how to adapt tone for brand, channel, and funnel stage.
Tools and methods
- Brand and style guides
- SEO briefs and keyword maps
- CMS and marketing automation tools
- Collaboration in Figma, Docs, and review workflows
- A/B testing ideas and message variants
- Research from customer feedback, interviews, and competitor analysis
When to bring one in Companies hire freelance copywriters when they need fast support for a launch, a campaign, or a content backlog. It also makes sense when the in-house team needs a fresh voice, extra capacity, or specialist help with performance copy, B2B messaging, or German-language content. In Germany, many teams look for writers who can handle both English and German work with the same care.
What strong talent looks like The best copywriters do more than write nicely. They cut weak claims, keep the message focused, and make every line earn its place. They can work with marketing, product, and design without slowing the team down, and they revise quickly when the brief changes.
Frequently asked questions
Questions about Copywriters? Start with the answers below.
A Copywriter creates the words that support a clear business goal, such as getting sign-ups, leads, or sales. That can include ads, landing pages, email sequences, website pages, product copy, and campaign slogans. Good freelancers also help shape the message when the brief is still rough.
Look for strong writing, message clarity, and the ability to adapt tone across channels. A good copywriter should understand audience needs, brand voice, and basic SEO when content needs to be found in search. They should also be able to revise quickly and work from feedback without losing the core idea.
The difference is usually the goal of the text. A copywriter focuses on persuasion, conversion, and sharper marketing language, while a content writer often focuses more on education, information, or reach. In practice, many freelancers do both, but the emphasis changes with the brief.
Freelance support is a good fit when you need help for a launch, a campaign, a rewrite, or a temporary backlog. It also works well if you need a specialist for a narrow task, such as ad copy or B2B messaging, without adding permanent headcount. Many companies use a freelancer first to define the scope before deciding on a long-term role.
Yes, most projects can be done remotely if the brief, feedback loop, and approval process are clear. For teams in Germany, it helps when the freelancer can work in German or switch between German and English as needed. On-site sessions can still be useful for workshops, stakeholder interviews, or brand messaging sprints.
A good brief should include the target audience, the goal, the channel, the key offer, and any brand rules. It should also show examples of what feels right and what should be avoided. The clearer the inputs, the faster the copywriter can produce text that fits the project.
Review how well the writing matches the brief, the audience, and the intended action. Strong work is focused, easy to scan, and free of vague filler. Ask for a relevant sample, a short test task, or a review of similar work to see how the freelancer thinks, not just how they write.
Depending on the company, the same work may be posted as copywriter, marketing copywriter, or content writer with a persuasion focus. Some teams also look for a brand writer or creative writer when the assignment is more about voice and campaign messaging. The title matters less than whether the freelancer can write for the actual business goal.
The average hourly rate for Copywriters in Germany is 84 €, which corresponds to a daily rate of about 673 € based on an 8-hour working day.
