UX to Success:
UX Writing for
Freelance Writers

 

The words on the buttons, the text in the pop-ups, the notifications… 
Someone gets to write all that copy. 

I think it should be you.

If you:

  • Shudder every time you get an error message that makes no sense  

  • Love writing and want to get your words in front of real people

  • Are a pro at taking tons of information and distilling them into concise messages  

  • Are a stickler for consistency 

  • Believe that writing isn’t just about words but also about layout and how you organize your information 

  • Would love to work with the teams designing and developing apps and platforms, rather than just writing about them, from the sidelines

Wait… what is UX writing?

Glad you asked! UX writing describes the words (copy) in digital products, like apps and websites, that guide you through the platform, telling you what information to enter, where to click, and what will happen next. 

Sure, it’s often short strings of text—2 words here, 1 sentence there—but UX writing is essential for being able to use websites and apps. It’s how companies communicate with their customers these days. 

Code is crucial and design is dandy, but without words… users are, well, literally lost in cyberspace.

 

UX writing has exploded in the last few years

As everything goes digital, more companies and teams set their sights on creating and improving user experiences, more words are needed to round out and guide those user experiences.

There’s never been a better time to break into UX writing

I know, because that’s exactly what I did.
And now I want to teach you how.

Say hello to UX to Success, a group coaching program for freelance writers who want to break into UX writing, but aren’t sure how.

Past students say…

  • "I'm 'graduating' the course feeling more confident in my UX writing skills and more knowledgeable about how to work with clients."

    UX to Success showed up at the perfect time for me. After working in UX research and design and taking a couple of UX writing courses, I knew I wanted to combine these skills to offer freelance services to businesses, but I was looking for guidance. Other traditional UX writing courses don't cover how to do it freelance, so when I saw Merav's post about UX to Success, it seemed like the answer I was looking for! Her lessons were very thorough and informative, she provided excellent resources to dive deeper into topics, and her assignments covered every key touchpoint in the user journey that may require UX writing assistance.

  • "I came away with practical resources to start out and grow a UX writing business, as well as the confidence to get out there and do it."

    I really, really enjoyed the UX to Success experience. It was the perfect introduction to UX writing. The way the fundamentals were covered really helped me get a feel for what UX writing is and all about. It was all absolutely well explained in the course. The examples were great, and it was easy to follow and understand the concepts. The coaching calls were super helpful to get questions answered and to hear how others in the course were interpreting things, and what challenges they were dealing with. Merav is extremely relatable and an excellent, excellent resource!

Hi, I’m Merav

I’m a UX writer, copywriter, and lecturer/trainer. 

In 2013, I quit my job in marketing at a nonprofit and decided to try my hand at freelance content writing while I figured out my next steps. Since then, I’ve built my little content consultancy into a 6-figure business that does UX writing and copywriting for companies like AT&T, Siemens, and Gong. I also train teams at Google, Fiverr, and more on what UX writing is and how to do it right.

Here’s why I love UX writing (and why I think you will, too):

  • You’re writing words that actually affect people’s lives, every single day! Think about it: The app diabetics use to track their insulin, the small-business loan website, the communication app people use to talk to their family around the world—all of them have UX writing! 

  • You don’t have to stuff your writing with business jargon or inflated promises, like marketing and sales writing often has you do. 

  • You typically get to work with a team of designers, product managers, and more and actually impact how the final product looks and works.

And if that’s not enough, here’s why you should really care:

According to Glassdoor, the average copywriter salary in the US is about $59,000 a year. The average UX writer salary is about $112,000 a year. Almost double!!

Rates for freelancers stack right up with those numbers, too.
