There are basically three ways you use for charging your clients:

Per sales page fee - The charge can be $200 or $5,000 for a long sale copy, depending on the name you have established in the industry. But, those who just begin in copywriting charge only $50 for their first few copywriting projects.

Percentage based on total amount of sales generated - With this setup, you will be sharing the sale revenue of the seller usually ranging from 2% to as high as 30%.

Per hour charge - If you have been hired by a online businessman consistently, you can treat copywriting as a telecommuting job and start charging per hour.

How to Get Copywriting Work?
To obtain copywriting projects, you will need to market your copywriting service to targeted prospects. You can start off by building a website to promote your service. Do some ad placements such as PPC advertising, Craigslist ad postings, etc. to attract people come to your site and have a look at your service.
