Freelance job ideas for writers

Hi Reader,

Hi there, I spent a decade working as a freelance writer.

I tried it all.

Covering local news.

Reviewing products and gadgets.

Writing scripts for radio.

Sub-editing in a newspaper.

Feature writing for magazines.

Copywriting for small businesses (this pays well).

Freelance writing isn’t always easy.

On more than one occasion, I got a big freelance writing gig and worked on it for a month.

Then, I found myself out of work because I had nothing else lined up.

I’d lived off my credit card until more work turned up.

If you’re getting into freelance writing, here’s my number one tip:

Do one thing every day that helps you land your NEXT writing gig.

Pitch a new client over email.

Apply for a job on UpWork.

Get a referral from a past client.

Connect with some potential clients on LinkedIn.

Add testimonials to your online portfolio.

If you need inspiration, we published this post, which rounds up the best freelance job ideas for writers today.

And if you want to take things one step further, you’ll enjoy my course for freelance writers.

I explain where you can find paying work, how to set your rates, and what to expect.
