Get Started Freelance Writing

Freelance Writing is where I’ve had the most success since I left corporate America to become a full-time writer-entrepreneur. Admittedly, I was rather clueless at first. I didn’t have a degree in journalism and hadn’t the foggiest idea on how or where to begin. But, I managed to get started freelance writing.

The following resources helped me get started freelance writing. My first month alone I netted over $500 working just 20 hours throughout the month. That’s an average rate of $25 an hour! My income level has only increased since then to the point that I can proudly state that I’m making a fulltime living as a freelance writer.

The truth is you, too, can easily have a successful career in freelance writing without a degree in journalism or a professional writing background. These freelance writing resources helped me, and I promise they will help you, too.

 

 

Get Started with a Blog

The biggest hurdle that keeps potential writers from pursuing a career or side hustle in freelance writing is the lack of a portfolio. Editors are going to want to see something you’ve written.

The good news is, now is easier than ever to show them that something with a blog!

To get started blogging, check out my How to Start a Blog page. It has all the tools you need to launch a professional looking blog and web presence that will help you wow editors without a portfolio of bylines.

 

An Intro to Freelance Writing

30 Days or Less to Freelance WritingI began my freelance writing career not by attending journalism school but by enrolling in an E-Course to learn the ins and outs of starting my freelance career – where to look for gigs, how to pitch gigs, etc. A month later, I made over $500 as a direct result of the course. In my opinion, 30 Days or Less to Freelance Writing is the best course on the market to help launch a successful freelance career.
