Not sure I understand how copywriting happens. There are online meeting places where people needing content written and willing writers go to hook up? What sorts of products come out of copywriting? Could that be like pamphlets and buisness forms? Or maybe it's presenting information about products for online advertising?
Oh, I'm not married to it. Different strokes for different folks. I don't expect people to like all the same things I do. I'm just arguing its merits.
So, like any other job, you can answer ads for copywriters needed. You can also connect online in places just like you described. Copywriting covers a ton of material. Some people do pamphlets and the like. I don't. You can also write pages for business websites, such as about us pages and product pages. You can write ad copy, product descriptions, best of lists, etc. Some copywriters even specialize in social media posts. They'll be offered a set payment for a batch of facebook posts or tweets on a topic relevant to the client. It can be anything from rug cleaning to movie promotions. I've been asked to do food descriptions for menus. I've done real estate listings. I've done research articles on the benefits of medical marijuana–that project was months long. Eventually, an entire website was populated with medical research content I had done on the benefits and risks of medical marijuana for a huge variety of conditions.
