/biz/ - Business & Finance

I work as a digital copywriter in a marketing firm. I've been there for a few years now. I'm good at my job, I have a firm knowledge of SEO, and I know how to get traffic, conversions and money out of people with just words. The pay sucks despite my workplace having multi-national brands and household names in their portfolio.

I was wondering if anyone had experience with setting up their own copywriting or content writing gig independently? I know I could make more freelancing or setting up an independent business, but I don't know the steps to get there. I'm a keyboard monkey making somebody else lots of money at the moment.
