Social media has been a regular format in my copywritng journey. After I became obsessed with Twitter and Tumblr, I decided I wanted to try to make money with those platforms. The whole "content" thing was blooming.
Fast forward eight years, and I've done my fair share of social media writing. Here are some jobs I've enjoyed the most that showcase real impact.

Problem

"What do you do if Randy calls you?
You pick up and start screaming with excitement 🤯💕
You're very chill; say hi, and proceed to tell him about the 846 wedding dresses you have saved on your Pinterest 📝👰♀️
You're too shook to pick up and stand there, not knowing what to do, until Randy finally ends up the call 😱
