Welcome!Working in your pajamas, being your own boss, earning extra income, living the dream. Whatever your motivation, you found your way to this blog with a clear interest in making a freelance writing career work for you.
Or perhaps you’re looking to hire a freelance writer, and have no idea where to start your search, or how to find the right candidate.
Well you’ve come to the right place.
Who am I? I’m a writer who is living the freelance dream. I’ve learned the ropes and am making it work.
It is possible.
Join me over the next while, as I blog about the ups and downs of the freelance writing life, offer tips from the trenches for those just starting out, give helpful advice to buyers on landing the perfect freelancer for their needs, and basically show you the ropes.
We live in a global marketplace, making the online village the 'IT' place for freelance writers to thrive. And the most successful online global marketplace for freelancers of all kinds is Elance, with over twenty-nine thousand jobs posted in the last 30 days. If you’re serious about becoming or hiring a freelancer, this is the site you need.
If you’ve never seen it, check it out. It’s impressive and yes, it can be a little intimidating for newcomers.
Never fear. Over the coming weeks I will take a look at how to craft a killer profile that gets you jobs, how to determine what you’re worth, how to find the best jobs, how to write an outstanding proposal, and how to determine if you’re cut out for the freelancing life. In short, everything you need to know to build a successful freelance writing career.
I will also have a series of posts for buyers including the big questions – How hiring a freelance writer impacts your business success, how you can attract the best candidates for your needs, what to expect to pay for the quality you want, and how to ask for and get exactly what you require from your freelancer.
It won’t be all business. There will be some fun stuff too, like strange places people writer from, how many cups of coffee a day are too many, and wild ways to network.
You can also follow me on twitter for my Hot Job pick of the day, links to great articles, a running count of my coffee consumption, and my thoughts on the various mysteries of the universe.
In the future, I'm planning to profile some great freelancers, so if you’re making the writing life work for you, I’d love to hear from you.
And if you’re just starting out, have a case of cold feet, or have questions or concerns, I’d love to hear from you too.
I hope you’ll join me on my blogging adventures, and I’m looking forward to hearing your success stories.
Are you ready to take a leap of faith?
