[FREE DOWNLOAD] How to Get Started Freelance Writing When You Don’t Know What You’re Doing

January 22, 2016 by Maricel Rivera 9 Comments

freelance writing ebookI manage a Facebook page where members are mostly folks aspiring to break into the online freelancing space.

I discovered that, like me when I started, a lot of them have absolutely no idea how to get their foot in the door.

Because of that, I decided to create an ebook detailing how I started freelance writing and the things I learned while getting to where I am now.

Just to be clear, I’m no big-shot freelance writer. All I am is somebody who, through grit, has been able to leave her 9-to-5 behind to work from home.

I’ve been freelance writing full-time since April 2014, and I can tell you that I’ve never been happier.

Working from home has afforded me the freedom to choose:

  • Where to work (yes, I can also work at cafes, hotels, in parks, and more!)
  • Whom to work with
  • What to work on

More importantly, I am where my family is. I get to see the kids every day, and I don’t have to battle perhaps the worst traffic conditions in the world to get to and from my job site.

How to Get Started Freelance Writing When You Don’t Know What You’re Doing

In this ebook, you’ll discover:

  • freelance writingHow I started freelance writing armed with just the willingness to learn and a little Google-fu
  • The lessons I learned writing for peanuts
  • My experience with oDesk
  • Why valuing your clients is a surefire ticket to more writing jobs
  • Why oDesk may not be the platform for you
  • How to stand out from the rest of the pack
  • How I transitioned from side hustling to full-time freelancing
  • The upsides and downsides of working online
  • How to be productive while working from home
  • The tools of the trade

Plus links to:

  • Writer sites to follow
  • Writing gigs that pay well
  • Social media for freelance writers
  • Writer website must-haves
  • Guest posting
  • Productivity tips
