A few years ago, I wanted to do a case study of using job boards to land new freelance writing gigs.
I was able to land two solid writing jobs in one week.
While those new clients were great to write for, they weren’t from notable brands or my preferred writing niche: SaaS digital marketing.
When I started as a freelance writer in 2014, I wanted to have a freelance writer logo that embodied my personality and excitement of starting something new.
But, I had no clue about creating logos and had other things to figure out (like my tagline and title!).
Are you feeling the same?
Did you know that some of my absolute favorite writing jobs are copywriting jobs?
Copywriting is such a fascinating form of writing, but it can take time to develop the right skills to become a successful copywriter.
And companies will pay big bucks for copywriters who are good at what they do!
As a writer and editor you soak up as much information on copy editing as you possibly can.
And just like any other topic, you can’t seem to get enough copy editing books to dive deeper and deeper into the best tips, tools, and tricks.
When it comes to books on editing though, where do you start?
Nowadays, more and more businesses are hiring writers to create UX content for their sites, apps, and other digital products.
In fact, the Business Bureau of Labor Statistics says the demand for industrial designs has seen a 3% growth year after year since 2018.
So, if you want to become a UX writer, now is the time!
You can never stop learning, right?
Whether you have tons of experience or are a budding writer, it never hurts to pick up a book on freelance writing to boost your knowledge and skills!
While I do talk a lot about freelance writing as a service for crafting web content, you can actually make money as a writer in a variety of writing niches.
Ever heard of a site called Reddit?
Reddit aggregates news but as a freelance writer, Reddit offers discussions and forums and in those forums you can land a freelance writing job.
Yes – that’s right.
Do you really need Grammarly Premium as a freelance writer?
Once upon a time, I didn’t think so.
It wasn’t until a wrote a post for a client about Grammarly that I took notice of the software’s features and thought I should give it a try.
One of the first things I did as a new freelance writer was think of my business name.
I wanted it to say everything about what I did as a new writer, but I realized it needed a description.
Innovative Ink could be a printing company, tattoo parlor, writing agency, or freelance writing business.
Did you decide today you want to be a freelance writer, or content writer, or even a copywriter?
Maybe you’ve had the inkling for a while now, but you just don’t know what to do, where to go, or how to start.
I got your back new freelancer!
