Turn Up the BASE - My Entrepreneurial Journal

[apollolux]

As someone who's worked in an agency, even though I wasn't the copy guy (I was the web guy) I worked closely with the copy guy and had access to the same resources he did and can attest to similar anecdotes to those both of you have shared so far. Agencies (especially one like my old one where it's surprisingly competitive) are trials by fire for content creators and you'll be more experienced in churning out quantity by deadlines but not necessarily quality. Approach agency work at your own risk, and for freelancing be prepared to fire clients if they're too much hassle.
