Freelance Writing For Beginners
Want to make money writing? The Web is built on words. This means that it’s much easier than it’s ever been for a beginner to set up a full-blown and profitable freelance writing career.
When I say the process I’ll share with you is easy, I mean it. Please don’t get hung up on your lack of experience. You can get experience fast: all you need to do is follow the process.
I sold my first freelance writing efforts in the early 1980s. In those days, you weren’t paid to learn: you served your apprenticeship and learned, before you started to sell.
You’re lucky. You have endless opportunities. All you need to do is get started, and you’ll start to sell your services very quickly.
Let’s look at the process.
1. Set up a personal blog at any one of the free blogging services online, and start to write — you can choose any topic you please. The idea of blogging is that it accustoms you to others reading your words.
Get into the habit of reading blogs which interest you. With millions of blogs online, most bloggers are just like you: they’re learning to write by doing.
2. Your next step is to build relationships with other bloggers. Leave comments on any blog you enjoy. Make sure you leave real comments: put some time and thought into it. Other bloggers will notice you.
Next, approach bloggers and ask whether you could write a guest post. Writing for other bloggers, although you’re writing for free, builds your confidence. It also gets you known.
3. Got confidence? By now, you should be feeling good about your abilities, so offer your blogging services for small payments. You’ll get clients fast.
Although these initial freelance writing jobs are small, they’re valuable for two reasons. Firstly, you’ll learn how to work with clients, and secondly, you’re becoming known as someone who writes for money.
I hope the above process sounds simple to you. That’s because it is. However, be aware that it’s also powerful, and if you follow it, you will soon have a highly profitable freelance writing career.
You can create the perfect freelance writing career with the money-making skills you learn , don’t waste more time !
