How to Make a Living Freelance Writing
Have you ever dreamed of being a full-time writer?
I did. I left my full-time job as a marketing writer and became a full-time freelance writer. And honestly, I struggled. I quickly discovered there was a lot more to freelance writing than writing.
Eventually, I took a job as a newspaper reporter. I enjoyed it because I could write and not worry about things like marketing, cash flow, finding keywords, writing queries, etc. Then the newspaper I worked for folded, and I found myself needing work. I went back to freelance writing, but this time, I knew what to expect. I was better prepared for what was needed to make a living a full-time writer.
I have now been a full-time freelance writer for 14 years, and my business continues to grow. It also continues to shift focus from time to time as I learn more and move to stay current with the market. How to Make a Living Freelance Writing is a distilling of what I have learned to the essentials you need to make the decision whether to become a full-time writer and how to establish your foundation as a freelance writer.
