If you Google “How to become a freelance writer,” you’ll get over 50 million results, many of which are contradictory, overpriced, and misleading. I learned how to sell my words through years of trial and error. Along the way, I’ve made money, lost money, got screwed over, and landed clients ranging from Shark Tank startups to Fortune 500 brands.
Luckily, I kept detailed records of what worked and what didn’t. I realized that information wasn’t doing any good collecting digital dust, so I teamed up with The Writing Cooperative and condensed everything I learned into this 55-page course:
Freelance Writing With a Full Time Job:
5 Lessons I Learned the Hard Way
Here’s a quick breakdown of what’s inside:
1. Preparation: Website basics, how to prepare writing samples, how to secure testimonials (with an email template), and four things you definitely DON’T need
2. Finding Clients: The strategies I used to identify the right prospects and take care of low-hanging fruit
3. Pitching Clients: How to email potential clients without looking stupid (including real emails that I saved)
4. Onboarding: How to price your work and create contracts and invoices (templates included)
5. Growth: How to progress from projects to retainers, how and when to raise your rates, and how to outsource
Plus these bonus materials: How to use Netflix’s cliffhanger technique to tell addicting stories and What I learned writing 200,000 words under other people’s names
Freelance writing courses run anywhere from $100 to $1,000, but most people can’t invest that much up front, especially if you’re a beginner or fresh out of school. Accordingly, I priced mine at $49. To put that into context, if you only sell one blog post you’ll turn a $100 profit.
