Do you love writing? Do you love food?
I mean, most of us freelance writers do love our food – but if you have a passion for it, you can make money writing about it!
Do you love visiting different restaurants?
Did you know that I’m only doing this part-time after eight years of being a freelance writer?
While it’s not technically a side hustle writing gig, I have more than freelance writing as a business (i.e., other sites and products, and I’m also a stay-at-home mom).
For you, though, you may have a full-time job or you might be going to school full-time.
When it comes to being a freelance writer, you’ve probably come across many freelance writing terms being thrown around to describe different aspects of the job.
One common term that you should definitely know about is a byline.
But what is a byline?
When I first started freelance writing in 2014, I knew nothing. I just wanted to get paid and make money writing.
And guess what?
Let me guess –
You just started freelance writing and have no clue what you’re doing.
And when you think of all the freelance writer responsibilities you need to know, you suddenly have analysis paralysis and don’t know where to begin.
Back in the day, when I first started out as a freelance writer, I was excited to tell my audience all about where I was writing.
It sort of started as a mini-series:
Whether you’ve always been good with money or just enjoy learning about finances and investing, financial writing jobs can pay big bucks.
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.
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!
