If you’re a new freelance writer, I’m sure you’ve heard the phrase, “B2B writing” or “B2C writing.”
What is the B2B meaning? What is the B2C meaning and do you start business writing?
In the world of freelance writing, there are many niches you can choose from, but not all of them will be profitable.
I just happened to fall into the B2B marketing space naturally. I never gave it much thought and never really looked at how I transitioned into this as a B2b freelance writer.
It’s no secret that to become a highly sought after freelance writer with a hugely successful business, you need to niche down.
What do I mean by this?
I mean the writers that are making a living from this are choosing one niche to write in.
You hear it everywhere. You see it on Pinterest, on Facebook and on Twitter.
What’s staring you in the face day after day?
Branding.
One of the things freelance writers struggle with is finding ongoing and consistent work. While it’s entirely possible to earn a living from freelance writing (I’m proof that you can), it’s always a good decision to diversify your income streams.
Now that you are working for yourself, you don’t always want to be hustling and looking for work right?
While building your freelance business should be your focus for long-term and sustainable income, one easy way to quickly grow your income is with affiliate marketing.
Many of you may not know that I own and manage four blogs and I recently started a new one.
As a mom to twins, a freelance writer, coach and author of a freelance course, you can see I’m pretty busy.
Why would I even fathom starting a new blog when I already have 4?
Have you just stumbled into the world of freelance writing and can’t believe how awesome it is?
The freedom to set your schedule, choose your clients and to raise your rates when you like! Who wouldn’t want to be a freelance writer?
So, what did you naturally do when you learned about it? You went online and researched as much as you could about becoming a freelance writer. But, then you ended up having analysis paralysis – you don’t know where to start or how to start.
Coming up with blog post ideas can be hard when it’s your job to find those writer ideas!
Freelance writers often have to come up with blog topics and pitch their ideas to their clients or editors. And to top it all off, if you have a blog or personal blog – which every freelance writer should – having fresh writer ideas can take a toll.
When I was freelancing the first time a little over a year I had over 20+ clients, two blogs I wrote and managed two other blogs where I guest contributed.
Does the thought of having to “sell” yourself rub you the wrong way?
You decided to work from home as a freelance writer and thought all you had to do was show prospects a few of your samples and poof! they hire you.
Somehow you got the idea that you don’t need a website or blog or even be on social media to freelance write.
So, you want to learn how to become a freelance writer?
I get a lot of emails from people asking me how to get started as a freelance writer and no matter where you are in the world, the steps to take to becoming a freelance writer are the same.
It’s a great way to earn extra cash and actually make a living from it, so I thought I’d write a guide to help new freelance writers jumpstart their business.
I’m not the best writer.
Heck, I know I’m not the greatest writer out there either.
But, many new writers think or feel they need straight A’s in English or to major in Journalism to be a freelance writer. But, that’s not the case.
