When I told people that I was going to become a freelance writer, I got a lot of terms like “hobby” and “side gig” thrown at me from friends and family. No one believed I could actually make a full-time, decent wage working for myself.
You might’ve heard the same comments too.
So if you have one foot back in the cubicle already, you need to hear this: Those naysayers couldn’t be more wrong.
Secrets to Success
Newbie writers don’t know where to start. Instead, they struggle to find good-paying gigs in an ever-changing marketplace and work for pennies while doing so.
I was in the same place once too, crippled with fear and completely oblivious about how to run a successful freelance business.
And that’s why Carol Tice’s latest e-book, Start Here: 40 Freelance Writers Share How They Find Clients, Stay Motivated, & Earn Well Today, absolutely nails it. Carol is a six-figure freelance writer and the blogger behind Make a Living Writing.
She’s pulled together three years’ worth of the top guest posts from her blog, most of which are from newbie writers – like me – who’ve figured out how to break in and earn well.
While I’m honored to be included in the book, I would have loved to have this resource when I was just starting out.
The book will teach you how to:
- Get paying assignments with no previous writing samples.
- Find hundreds of solid customer leads.
- Avoid nightmare clients.
- Triple your response rate on pitch letters.
And so much more. Plus, you’ll find renewed motivation after reading case studies like these:
- Are you an introvert? No problem. Read how another introvert used LinkedIn to net $7,500 in assignments in just three short months.
- Already writing but barely breaking even? Learn how one writer negotiated her way to a 600% raise in just 72 hours.
- Paralyzed by fear? You might like my own personal story about how I kicked fear to the curb and secured $1,500 a month in blogging gigs.
