I’m a copywriter, I currently work in-house for an agency.
I’ve worked for various agencies in the past and I also freelance.

So many routes you can take: work on your own, connect with veteran copywriters and get work from them, in-house for agency, in-house for business, remote for agency, collaborations with designers

Also you can discern yourself by become expert in different fields like healthcare, construction, or different types of copy, like website, email, brochures, branding etc.

Is this an hour or annual?
How do I get into this field- is there a course you recommend?

This is per hour.

My advice after 5 years in the field, don't take a course yet.

Rather, start consuming everything you can on marketing.

Books:
Start with Hey Whipple Squeeze This by Luke Sullivan then go for A Self-Help Guide for Copywriters by Dan Nelken.

Websites:
Jacob McMillen is a copywriter who aside for writing copy, has a website with a WEALTH of helpful guides for beginner to senior copywriters. https://jacobmcmillen.com/category/guides/

Emails:
Sign up to Shlomo Genchin's email list and if you're on Linkedin, follow his posts.

Podcasts:
Listen to The Copywriter Club Podcast. Hosted by two veteran copywriters. Excellent source of info on the industry.

After, and only after you've surrounded yourself with enough information on the industry, and if bonus, you have a job or two under your belt, then you can consider investing in a course.

Start small, with a $97 course on copy by Cole Schafer. (for those sensitive, his course may have some slight swear language)

Once you're earning money and want to learn more, you can look at the big ones, like Copytribe (5k I believe) or Jacob McMillen's Internet's Best Copywriting Course ($997).

That's the long and short of it and I'm happy to answer more questions if you have them.
