58: How I got started with freelance writing [solo episode]

 
 

In this episode, I am answering a question I am asked often: “how did you get started as a freelance writer?” I share my journey with writing, how I got my first clients, relationship building, pitching, pricing and project structure, why sometimes you might take on free work, and more. I spill all my secrets, and while some is specific to writing, I offer tips that will likely help you in any freelance or consulting endeavor.

Topics covered:

  • How I started writing

  • Why it’s so important to put your talents out into the world

  • How to build relationships with brands

  • How to pitch publications

  • How pitching works

  • How I price my writing, and what packages I offer

  • Why taking free work might be a great idea to start
