Want to become a successful, highly paid freelance writer making much more than you could make at (most) day jobs? You can do it, and you can do it more EASILY than you believe possible.
How do I know this? Assuming that some 30 years of writing have taught me something about how writers think, I know it because you’re reading this blog.
There’s just one thing standing between you, and the freedom that comes with running your own life (no commute, no boss, no office politics) and it’s this: intestinal fortitude, commonly known as guts.
Yes, you will have doubts, but you need to take those doubts with a shovelful of salt. Here’s why: those doubts come from the past. Your past. To step into your future, you need to step outside your comfortable rut, and that makes you scared. It’s understandable.
Many years ago, in the 1960s, a businesswomen mentor told me to put my backbone where my wishbone used to be.
It’s the best advice I’ve ever been given, and I commend it to you. Think about it, and then do it.
Here’s Jennifer’s freelance success story about getting started freelancing. In » How to Get Freelance Writing Referrals Even if You’re New : All Freelance Writing she says: “It wasn’t easy. I wondered how I’d pay the bills each month. But it always worked out. Just scraping by turned to flourishing in only about three months! That’s it. Three months of hell and heartache, pushing myself to my limits, but it led to a strong and sustainable career filled with referrals–referrals from colleagues, past clients, and clients finding me through those communities and blogs.”
So, why did Jennifer succeed, and why can YOU do it too?
In a word, marketing. You need to be prepared to market consistently.
It’s a truism that marketing anything takes around three months to show consistent results. This is the reason I recommend that you market yourself every day. But isn’t it worth it, to realize that in three short months from now you could be free?
It’s up to you. Put your backbone where you wishbone used to be, and get started.
