Ahh, you searched on Google for freelance writer and after reading hours upon hours of blog posts, you decide this is the freelance service for you.
I’m so happy you decided to become a freelance writer, but I don’t want you to get the false impression that it’s easy to land clients or make a ton of money.
In truth, like any other new business venture, it takes time and investment to see any success.
Job boards for freelance writers can be a hit or miss, right?
As a new freelancer one of the easiest ways to find writing jobs is by using job boards.
You can actually find amazing online jobs, but you can also be hit with low-paying duds.
Can’t escape it, eh?
The dreaded writing sample.
Also known as writing clips – if you wanna get all fancy.
Content writer jobs are everywhere, but you would never know that, right?
Because all you find is…nothing…no blogs wanting freelance writers or no sites that advertise writing jobs for you.
How can you start freelance writing when content writing jobs are nowhere to be found?
Figuring out the writing process as a new online writer might be confusing.
The only teaching you had was in school or at work – writing essays, reports, opinion-based pieces, or full-out research papers where you conducted experiments and posited the results.
This writing process won’t attract writing jobs online. It might even scare away potential clients that need to hire a writer.
You’re struggling financially this month.
You haven’t landed any new freelance writing jobs and the jobs you have right now, are from a content mill that pays $.02/word!
Ouch!
Full-time job killing you?
Wish you can try something new, that won’t take a lot of money to start?
Why not try an easy business to start? Something you can moonlight and do on the side?
Oh my!
You come home from your long day at work and get an email that says the company you blog for terminated your freelance writing job you landed a few months ago.
You love this gig, and it was one of your top paying clients too!
You love writing.
Writing was something you did as a child. From short stories to poems to your unfinished masterpiece, writing is in your blood, and you know you want to write.
And for many writers, learning that you can make money with your writing as a freelance writer, sounds amazing, but fear starts to creep in.
You’ve decided to ditch that 9-5 job and be a freelancer!
Yay!
I’m a freelance writer, and I get paid to write for business! It’s the best, and I want that for you too.
