How long should my writing portfolio be? Like, how many different content pieces/examples should I include?

Depends. But I’d shoot for 4-6 and see how it feels. Quality over quantity. Check out some other books for ideas and inspiration.

When you say content pieces, it sounds like you’re talking about social media? Which is a bit different than a classic copywriters book.

But, the best thing to do in any industry is find the portfolios of people who have the job you want. Look at as many as possible and some helpful patterns will emerge.

I see this question about how to display side projects often, so putting this out there for anyone who might find it useful:

There’s no such thing as side projects, in my eyes. Every project is an opportunity to display your creativity, and the few you’re most proud of make it to your book. Generally, the consensus these days is that we want our advertising to not look/feel like advertising. So, why should you be concerned to separate what was and wasn’t “advertising?”
