Whether you’re just getting started, or have been freelance writing for awhile, sometimes it’s hard to tell the difference between the real deal, and a scam.
Something may seem like a great opportunity, but is really just an individual or company trying to find the best deal on freelance writing talent. But pitching takes time, and writing even more. With limited hours available in a day for making money, you have to take steps to protect your time.
Absolutely not.
This question is a self-limiting belief, which we’ll unpack in a bit.
But, who are you to tell me that I can write? Well, who are you to tell yourself that you can’t?
Freelancing isn’t an easy path.
Often, starting your freelance career requires long hours, and once business takes off it’s tempting to take on as much work as you can handle or more. The time commitment can lead to not having much time to socialize or feelings of isolation. Here we’ll explore ways to avoid that, or deal with it if you’re already there.
Have you considered becoming a ghostwriter? What is holding you back?
I have written eBooks, articles and blogs as a ghostwriter. It can be quite a lucrative niche, and once you have finished the project your work is done. There is no need to spend copious hours and days promoting your work that could otherwise be spent on other writing projects that are providing an income.
You’ve discovered the wonderful world of writing and can’t wait to start earning a living from your works. There’s only one problem, you’re not quite sure what type of writing you want to pursue.
Everyone says you should have a niche, and that you should write about topics that you enjoy writing about. Right?
Being a freelancer isn’t easy.
It’s true, you can set your own schedule, and that’s one of the greatest advantages of being a freelancer. But it’s also true that creating your own schedule and keeping it are some of the most challenging tasks around. You know what I’m talking about, right?
Trust me when I say that freelance writing is not an age specific profession. You can start a freelance writing business at any age, even midlife.
By the time you’ve reached midlife, more than likely you’ve created your safe little comfort zone. A zone that you find yourself afraid to step out of.
Writing thousands of words a day can be a writer’s fantasy.
Seeing your work published across the globe, touching the skies of fame because of your work, and receiving an international award for writing services is every writer’s dream.
