Are you noticing more and more lately that freelance writing job ads are asking you to write a cover letter when you pitch to them?
It’s not the norm, but a specific job wants you to submit a cover letter and enclosed resume.
But the problem is: you don’t have one specific for your writing business. What do you do and how do you write the perfect cover letter?
Freelance writing is a huge industry and it’s a great way stay-at-home moms, closet authors, millennials, college students and more can earn a side income or a living from this.
I’ve been a freelance writer for over four years now while taking care of my twins!
My twins are in school now, and I’ve been doing this full-time for two years now.
Learning how to network as a freelance writer is so powerful that it can help some writers make a living out of this while leaving other writers in the “dust.”
If you’re a new online writer, you might be overwhelmed by this new fact.
You may have always thought that working from home or being a writer is a solitary career.
Writing goals.
You know you want to set some goals and you want to try it, but all you can muster are those New Year Resolutions that roll around every year.
They start off great – you write down all the things you want to accomplish this year.
Remote writing jobs are becoming more and more popular lately because more and more millennials are wanting to freelance instead of working full time.
In your quest to find remote jobs, you might be confused or wondering if these are the same as freelance writing jobs?
Yes and no. A remote job can be a freelance job or an employee job depending on how the company or employer set up the remote job role. Other terms you may find online are telecommute jobs, telework, remote or home-based work all for the same thing.
Invest in yourself.
You know that’s something you truly want to do, but you can’t pull the trigger. You are being pulled in all directions – from work to family to self-care and even taking care of aging family, your passion is pushed to the wayside.
Another day, you tell yourself.
Ghostwriter. Ghostwriting.
You saw that online and are interested in wanting to be a ghostwriter, but not sure what it is, how to ghostwrite, how much money you can make ghostwriting and if it’s a real way to make a living writing.
As a professional writer since 2014, I’ve had some ghostwriting clients. All of them were influencers in their industry or small business owners wanting to start a blog on their business site.
Do you find yourself cringing and biting your nails when reading blog posts and articles filled with grammatical mistakes?
You might even be in a Grammar Police group and not even know it!
(And watch out becoming a Grammar Police meme).
You’re there –
You’ve decided to start a freelance writing business, and it’s for real.
This is it!
You’re a new freelance writer!
You’ve made the decision to follow your love of writing and get paid for that writing.
That’s awesome! But, after learning about freelance writing, you’re probably wondering the best way to land a freelance writing job.
