When I broke into freelance writing, I was oblivious to all the technical jargon that exists in this industry. Between having to learn copywriting terms like call to action, branding, byline, and evergreen, there was this seemingly negligible acronym that kept cropping up: SEO.
When you’re starting off as a freelance writer, it isn’t advisable to just dive into the game thinking you can write about anything and everything; that’s a surefire way to get overwhelmed and confused.
Do you want more clients to hire you as a freelance writer?
The question is undoubtedly yes.
How do you show them what you’re capable of? How do you prove you have the experience they’re looking for? How do you convince them to hire you?
Have you just started as a freelance writer? Then the thought of landing your first client probably chills you to the bone.
Where do you find freelance writing clients?
Do you have to work for free to get experience?
Thinking about starting a freelance writing business? Not sure where to start?
It’s frightening. I know. But it’s possible.
Asking how to break into freelance writing is a bit like asking how to dance. There are so many ways to go about doing it, and there’s not necessarily one right way. Just keep that in mind if you decide to stray the beaten path. Ultimately, do what works for you.
