I’ve put together this step-by-step guide for you. It covers everything from what you need to start, to where to find freelance writing jobs, to how to get clients, to how to make your website look legit, and finally how to make money.

This step-by-step guide will help you become a successful freelance writer in 2022.

What Is Freelance Writing?

Freelance writing is when an individual writes for a company or organization, but they are not employed by them. This may be in the form of content such as blog posts and articles, or in the form of editing or proofreading.

Freelance writing can be either short-term, such as when someone needs to work for a few hours on an article that is due in a few hours, or long-term.

Freelance writers are individuals who are paid to provide services related to writing. Most of these writers are hired by companies to create content for websites, blogs, magazines, newspapers, advertising, sales letters, etc. While freelance writing isn’t difficult, it does require that the writer have extensive knowledge of certain formats, topic areas, and writing styles that are typically required by the companies that hire them. Most freelance writing jobs are available through freelance websites, job boards, classified advertisements, etc.

Freelance writing is a very good option for those who want to work from home and have the freedom of choosing their own hours.

How do I get started as a freelance writer?

1. Set a Goal

Freelance writing is a career that gives you a lot of flexibility over your work hours and the project you choose to accept. If you want to become a successful freelance writer, you’ll need to know what you want to accomplish. 

Are you comfortable with writing about niche topics or do you want to work for larger publications and write about the news and trending topics? Or, maybe blogs and websites? Are you looking to work as a copywriter, ghostwriter, or to be your own boss? What do you want to accomplish in life? These are just some of the questions you need to answer to define your goal.

The first step to achieving success in any area is setting a goal. By setting a goal, you’ll be able to narrow your path and put your efforts into the right areas. Whatever your goal is, make sure it’s something you’re passionate about.

Once you have figured out what your goal is, write it down. If it’s a mantra, repeat it to yourself in the morning when you wake up. If it’s a large goal, break it down into small, measurable steps to work towards. For example, if your goal is to earn over $100,000 a year, break the goal into different pieces. What’s the number you need to earn each week or month? 

You can also set long-term goals and short-term goals. Your long-term goal is to become successful. How will you know if you’ve become successful? You’ll know if you reached the peak of freelance writing success when you’re paid to write for 12 months straight. Short-term goals will help you reach your long-term goal. If you’re looking for freelance writing jobs, then your short-term goal will be to find 3 jobs that you’re passionate about.

So you’ve decided to be a freelance writer. That’s great! I want you to achieve great things!

Action Step: Write down your long-term and short-term goals. 

Once you have your goal, then it’s time to take action.

2. Choose your niche

Freelance writing is an excellent way to make money online and the job is not limited to one niche. However, to make the most money and enjoy your work, you should choose an interest or niche that will help you get the most jobs. To choose your niche, start by brainstorming about what you’re interested in. Think about the topics you read about and the things you talk about at work and in your free time. Would you enjoy writing about that for other people? If so, then that can be your niche!

Freelance writers often pick niches that relate to their profession, education, and experience. If you’re a freelancer and you know a lot about sports, you can write for an athletic company. If you’re passionate about writing, you can write for websites and companies that share your passion. 

It is very important to choose the niche that you want to write about. You need to pick something that you like, or could enjoy writing about. It’s important to follow your passion, because if you do, your writing will be better, and you’ll be more likely to be successful.

You’re going to need to develop your own unique style. This is true for any type of job, but especially so for freelance writing. There are dozens of different niches, so you’re going to want to choose one that fits your skills. If you love writing about sports, but you don’t know anything about knitting, you’re going to have to give up on the knitting niche.

Once you’ve come up with some ideas, check out the latest trends in your niche. After all, you don’t want to spend time writing about something that no one is interested in! 

Action Step: Choose any niche you want as long as it’s your passion, and there’s a demand for the topic you’re writing about.

3. Learn to Become a better writer

While it might seem like common sense, the third step to becoming a freelance writer is to simply write. Freelance writing is a grind. You’ll have to put in long hours on some days, so it’s important to have discipline! But the more you write the better you’ll get. Learn from your mistakes, revise your work, and always be improving. 

Good writers are hard to find! So you want to become one.

Freelance writers must be able to write and convey their thoughts and ideas in a clear and exciting way. Writing can be done in a large variety of ways and you should find one that suits you the best because the way you write is the same way you present yourself to the world. It’s also important to be unique and to stand out from others.

Take some time to work on your writing and grammar skills. Keep track of your progress, so you can improve on your weakness. Take short stories you’ve written in the past and revise them. Read blog posts for grammatical errors. Presentations are also a great way to improve your writing skills. Take the time to edit every sentence you write. If you are not sure of your writing skills, practice writing in a journal.

You should also think about attending workshops, seminars, or conferences that will teach you more about the industry.

Don’t be afraid to experiment with different topics and formats, but make sure you read up on what your audience likes so that they’ll stay interested in reading more of your work.

The more you write, the better you will be at it. Be sure to practice writing, practice writing, practice writing. Yes, it may seem like a chore, but the more you do it, the better you will become.

Make sure you also learn some of the basics of SEO and keyword research to help you gain more traffic on your articles. Knowledge in SEO is what helped me land more clients. You will also have an edge over other freelance writers. You will thank me for this!

While some of it isn’t always easy, hard work can pay off! I know firsthand that it does. Anticipate the long hours of writing, but if you’re willing to work hard, you can learn a lot and build a strong portfolio.

Action Step: Practice, practice, and more practice. Learn some basics of SEO and keyword research.

4. Build a portfolio to showcase your abilities

This is by far one of the most crucial steps in becoming a freelance writer. This is where you start building your portfolio, the one that will get you clients. This is also where you can get creative. While most freelance writing jobs will ask you to write in a specific style, the opportunities to put your own spin on things are what will set you apart from the crowd. Use this step for creative writing and take any opportunity you can to build up your portfolio.

Build your portfolio in order to show potential clients or employers what you can do and how you can help them. There are many ways to build your portfolio, such as by writing an article for a blog, submitting your portfolio to various freelance websites, or writing sample articles that show the best parts of your writing skills. If you’re a new writer, it can be difficult to know what to write about. Start writing about topics you’re interested in and be sure to use your best writing skills!

It is important to put your best foot forward to ensure that you can land the job you want. Making sure that you primarily focus on producing work that is well-written makes you stand out from the crowd. I know, I know, “I have no samples because I have no work experience!” Do not worry! Building a portfolio is easier than it seems. You can write short stories or tutorials on how to do something. You can also build your portfolio by working on non-paying freelance writing projects until you have written work that you are proud of.

If a client is looking through a list of writers and is going to pick a writer to work with, they’re going to go with the writer with a great portfolio! Make sure you have a lot of great samples to attract your clients.

Action Step: It’s important to have a strong portfolio in order to be successful as a freelance writer, so start building yours today!

5. Create a Target Client

It’s important to set yourself apart from anyone else in this industry. By narrowing down your target client, you make it easier to focus on what they want. Most people in this industry are overly ambitious in trying to write for everyone. Remember, it’s much easier to gain one client than gain ten.

Before you get started looking for clients, you need to create a target client profile. Here are some sample questions you can ask yourself:

• What type of audience will my target client be?
• Where do they live in the world?
• What is their occupation and what kind of work do they do on a daily basis?
• Do they like to read in the morning, afternoon, or evening?
• Does your client want to pay more to get the best service?
• What is your client’s age bracket?
• Is your client someone who reads news, magazines, or other forms of media?
• Is your client someone who has a specific hobby or interest?
• What type of topics will my target client be interested in reading about?
• Are you looking for a local or global audience?

These are just examples. By answering these questions, you should be able to create a profile of your ideal client. That way, you’ll know who to pitch to when you’re ready to look for clients.

Action Step: Create a target client profile.

6. Get your freelance writer website up and running

As a freelance writer, it’s important to build up your own freelancer website in order to post your work and showcase your portfolio to potential clients. People will pay you in exchange for your work, so it’s important to build up this platform to be the face of your business.

The freelancer website is the home for your writing career. You can even sell your services, promote your writing portfolios, and collect payment through your website. When you become a freelance writer, you’re essentially building your own business, so it’s important to attract clients and keep them coming back. The freelance website is the perfect platform to do just that. Having a website that helps your business stand out from the rest can help you get more clients. This will make it easier to find jobs for clients to find you. All you need is a domain, hosting, a website builder, and a website template.

Sites such as WordPress and Squarespace offer free websites and templates that allow you to simply plug in the information and it looks really professional and looks like you actually know what you’re doing. But if you don’t want to pay for a website, you can also upload your work and use a free service such as Blogger and Tumblr.

Action Step: Build your own freelancer website in order to post your work and showcase your portfolio.

How to find your first client

7. Learn the art of the pitch

The pitch is the most essential skill for a freelance writer. It can be very intimidating. Clients are busy people and they probably get hundreds of emails a day. If you want to be successful as a freelance writer, you’ll need to learn how to pitch your ideas. It’s your chance to sell yourself and prove that you are the best candidate for this job. With more people vying for fewer jobs, you need to make the best impression possible.

A good pitch should be short and concise (less than one page). It should include:

• An introduction about your qualifications for the position
• A summary of the article you are proposing to write
• An outline of what your proposed article will cover, making sure to address any specific requirements mentioned by the client. This should be a detailed outline.
• A list of sources you will use to write the article
• The word count for your proposed article
• An example of one of your published articles that best matches the requirements for this position
• Your resume
• A list of three references you have worked with within the past. It is essential to provide contact information for all three people when submitting your application.

You can send it to the client for review, then present your ideas if they like the article. If the client doesn’t like it, then you can alter your promotional strategy to try to get them to like it! The final step is to write the article and re-submit it. If the client still doesn’t like it, try approaching other clients until you find one that likes it!

8. Reach out to your network

One of the best ways to get clients is through networking. Attend events and seminars in your area of expertise and make connections with people there who could potentially be interested in working with you on a project.

You’ll need to get out there and make connections. One of the easiest ways to do this is to join local organizations! When you join an organization, you meet other people who are interested in what you do, including freelancers! If you join an organization, make sure to give it your all. Write articles for the organization’s newsletter, volunteer for projects, and attend meetings. You never know who you’ll meet! And all it takes to get hired is one person who knows someone who needs a writer!

There are many other ways to network. If you’re living in the city you want to work in, you should join some local business groups. Another great idea is to go to a few conferences. You can go to a conference that is specific to the industry you want to work in, or a general marketing conference. Also, you can attend local business events. When you’re going to events, make sure to bring a bunch of business cards with you!

Talk to everyone you meet and get their contact information, even if they seem uninterested in what you’re doing at the time. You never know who might be interested in your services later!

9. Join FB Groups and Offer your service

If you’re just starting out as a freelance writer, finding your first client can be tricky. One way to find clients is through Facebook groups for freelancers. Join the group and ask if anybody needs a writer.

Many freelance writers have joined groups on Facebook. They have posted their services and have had success. If you have not done so yet, you need to get on board. Some of these groups are not the greatest, but the ones that are, are full of clients.

Join groups that allow you to suggest services to them and that involve people who may need your services.

10. Check writing job boards

For new writers stepping into the field, it’s a must to check out writing sites and job boards. These sites have writing jobs of all types, from pure content writing to freelance writing, and it’s a place where you can get a lot of work. But, it’s a competitive job market! It’s a good idea to get a feel for the industry and understand what you’re looking for. Some sites allow you to set up profiles that represent you as the writer, which you can then promote on other sites that use a bidding system.

There are many job boards that have freelance writing positions. If you are just starting out, I recommend applying on Upwork, Freelancer, Guru, Flexjobs, Fiverr, and Problogger. These are the most popular job boards for freelance writers. Also, apply on sites that are specific to your main niche. Don’t stop there! Make sure you are checking websites on a regular basis because new jobs are posted every day.

Becoming a freelance writer is not always easy and it will take time to get your name out there, but with the right preparation, you can win clients quickly!

11. Contact Marketing Agencies

Marketing and advertising agencies are often looking for freelance writers to help with a variety of projects, from web copy to social media posts or blog posts. You can find listings for these types of jobs on sites like Indeed.com or LinkedIn, and by doing a Google search for “marketing agencies” in your target geographic area.

You can contact them and sell your services to them directly. You can discuss payment methods and set a schedule for your work.

Take the time to write an email to these companies explaining why you are interested in working for them, why you are qualified for this position, and what you have to offer. The idea is to write a letter that will convince them to reach out to you. Remember to interact with them on social media. If you have an active presence on Twitter, Facebook, or LinkedIn, then that should be enough for them to contact you.

12. Sign up for professional content sites

If you’re serious about becoming a freelance writer, you’ll need to start putting yourself out there. One of the best ways to do that is by signing up for content writing websites. While you can get paid writing on pretty much any platform online, these sites are considered the best because they have the fastest payouts, highest payouts, and are regularly rated highly by freelancers. This step is important because it will give you the opportunity to become a highly rated writer on platforms that are regularly sought out by clients. That means you’ll be able to get paid more regularly and get more opportunities to take on more clients.

Signing up for professional content sites such as Contently, TextBroker, iWriter, The Write Life and Contentbee is a great way to find work. These websites match writers with companies that need articles and content created. Writing for these sites can be a great way to get regular freelance writing work, establish your reputation and build your portfolio.

Sometimes you get accepted the next day, but usually, it takes a few weeks. If you get denied, don’t give up. There are many content sites out there that accept writers, but it just might take some time.

What are the best ways to find clients in 2022?

It’s always possible that you’ll get lucky and a potential client will contact you. But, when it comes time to actually find a client, the best ways are to sign up for content sites and job boards; these two routes alone will surely lead you to a potential client.

How to get paid

13. Research and Determine your Freelance Writing Rates

The best way to come up with freelance writing rates is by researching what other freelancers are charging for similar work, as well as what you would like to be paid. It’s important that the rates are competitive and reasonable, but it’s also wise not to undercut other freelancers.

You can start by researching rates for content marketing copywriters, landing page copywriters, and article/bloggers. Then you can decide what to charge based on your experience, skill, and reputation.

If you’re just starting out, it’s best to not be too ambitious with the rates you expect. You could start out with a rate of $10 per 500 words and $15 per 750 words while you’re just starting out and then gradually increase the rate the more experience and practice you get. This will set a baseline and will allow you to work on your skills and build your portfolio and reputation.

If you are an expert in your field, ask for higher rates. At the same time, keep in mind that you are offering your services to clients, so try to find a balance between your rates and your clients’ budgets.

14. Figure out how to get paid

In order to have a sustainable career as a freelance writer, you need to know how your work will be compensated. The most common way that writers are paid is through fixed rates or per word.

Fixed rates are a set amount that will be paid for the entire project, regardless of word count. Per-word rates are calculated by multiplying your per-word rate by the number of words in the project. For example, a writer with a per-word rate of $0.06 and an assignment that is 1500 words will be compensated at $90.

When it comes to payment, you should expect to get paid through multiple means. You can use online payment services such as PayPal or Stripe which you can use to receive money securely and easily. Make sure you advertise your bank account number and your PayPal info or collect credit card payments on your website and on your resume. One of the best things about being a freelance writer is that you get to decide how you want to be paid!

15. Track your earnings and set new goals

If you have been working hard at your business, it’s important to track your progress. At the very least, you should be tracking your earnings. It’s really easy to forget how much you have earned when you get a big invoice or a check in the mail. Tracking how much you have earned keeps you motivated and makes you want to write more.

Congratulations! You’ve made it! This is the final step in your journey to becoming a freelance writer. Now, it’s time to set new goals. Did you grow your freelance writing business in the last year? Did you earn more money in your business? While you don’t need to become a millionaire overnight in order to consider yourself a successful writer, it’s important to remember that any success you gain could potentially lead to greater success in the future! Set new goals. How much money do you want to earn this year? What is the highest possible level of success you can imagine? You can do it!

Ways to Grow your freelance writing business/career

Collect testimonials from your clients

Client testimonials are a powerful tool in your arsenal. When you’re starting out, it can be difficult to get enough of them. It’s worth the time and effort though because they not only help to establish credibility but also provide a platform for new leads.

It’s easy to ask for testimonials from satisfied customers and clients. Simply reach out via email or call them and ask them to do a testimonial for you. Be sure to express your gratitude in advance and when they’re reading it, make sure that the tone is polite and grateful.

Create Case studies from past and current clients

A case study is a document that describes an experience or experiment in detail, drawing on evidence to support the writer’s experience or expertise. The goal of the case study is to provide information that will be useful for potential clients facing similar situations.

Case studies are sometimes used as a form of marketing and to build credibility with potential clients.

It is a great way to share a bit of your experience and knowledge with a future client. Plus, you have a great marketing tool for your future clients to read about how you worked with their peers and provided a solution.

Advertise your services

Advertising is one of the most powerful tools for promoting your freelance writing services. There are many ways to advertise, but here are a few tips on how you can promote yourself online:

• Use social media platforms like Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram to share your work and run ads.
• Create YouTube videos with tutorials on how to do something or write about what you specialize in. You can also turn these into online courses.
• Use LinkedIn to promote yourself as a writer and connect with people in the industry.
• Post your work on Medium and other blogging platforms and include your contact details.

Send Outreach Emails to Businesses

One of the FREE ways to grow your freelance writing business/career is by sending outreach emails to businesses. There are a few different ways you can do this, but the easiest way is through LinkedIn and email outreach.

First, create a list of businesses that you want to contact. This will be the first step in creating your outreach email. Next, Google their name and see what information pops up about them. You can do this by Googling “company name” or their website.

See what information is on their website and if you can find any email addresses.

Once you’ve compiled a list of potential contacts, create an outreach template.

The template should include the following:

• Your name and what you do for a living.
• A personal message about who you are, your work experience, and why they might want to work with you.
• A link to your portfolio or any examples of previous work that are relevant to the business.
• Once you have created an outreach email, don’t forget to send it to your contacts.

Hire and Outsource to cover extra work

If you want to outsource the work required for your writing business, then it is important to be clear on what you need and when. It’s also a good idea to make sure that the person you are hiring has experience with your type of project. Make the terms clear, the work must be completed by a certain date or you will not pay for it.

Hiring other freelancers is a great way to grow your freelance writing business. If you have a lot of clients and want an easier, more hands-free way to grow your business, consider outsourcing.

The benefits of hiring freelancers are that you can hire people with specific skillsets for projects and pay them for the project only. You can’t lose money on a freelancer because you don’t pay them anything upfront.

The benefits of outsourcing are that you get to focus more on your freelance business, and it’s less work for you and you get to serve more clients.

Build Your Name by Writing High-Quality Pieces for Good Sites

When you’re starting out as a freelance writer, it’s important to get your name out there. One way to do this is by submitting work for sites that are popular and respected in the industry or with prominent sites or publications that are in the same niche as you.

Start by submitting your work to sites like Medium, Huffington Post, and Forbes. These sites have a high Google rank because of their quality and will help you to attract the attention of potential clients.

Another way is to write guest posts for other blogs in your niche so that you can grow an audience of readers who will become your potential clients.

Pros and Cons of Freelance Writing

What are the benefits of freelance writing?

Freelancers are in charge of their own destiny. From flexible hours to total freedom of where you do your work, freelancing offers a wide range of great benefits. There’s a lot to love about being a freelance writer, from being your own boss to the freedom to make your own hours. The best part is, freelancers can work from anywhere, from a home office to a local coffee shop, from the country to a different continent! You have the freedom to work only on projects that may be interesting to you. Freelancing is a great way to take your career to the next level.

What are the drawbacks to freelance writing?

Most freelance writers are paid on a per-project or per-word basis. This means, if you are unable to meet deadlines, you may risk losing potential clientele. This also means that you are not guaranteed a steady income every week or month. There are no guarantees about how much work will be available or when it will be available.

Freelancers typically work from home and don’t have the camaraderie or benefits that come with working for a company. They also have to invest in their own office setup, often with no support from the company they’re freelancing for.

They may not qualify for traditional benefits like health insurance or a 401k, but they can take advantage of tax deductions. Taxes may be deducted from the freelancer’s paycheck before income taxes are applied and any earned interest is also off-the-table.

Tips to Become a Successful Freelance Writer

Always be on time with deadlines (even if it means planning ahead)

When you freelance write you have to be on time for your deadlines. If you miss a deadline it may cause clients to be worried about your time management skills and you may lose the contract. In addition, if you’re late with a deadline, you may have to work overtime, which you will end up paying for, or you may have to cut back on the amount of time you spend with your family. Planning ahead on a calendar is a good way to keep track of deadlines and the amount of time you have to complete a project.

Keep track of what projects pay well so that you can reach out after finishing each one

Freelance writing can be extremely lucrative for those who know how to do it right. Keeping track of what projects pay well will allow you to reach out to similar clients after completing each project. Knowing that the copy you created is performing well will motivate you to write more of it.

One way to do this is by having a list on your computer or phone with the name of the project, how much you were paid for it, and what type of work went into it. This will allow you to see which projects are worth pursuing again in order to make more money.

Have a strong understanding of your niche so that you can stand out from the competition

Freelance writing is a tough field to break into. It’s competitive and there are many writers out there with more experience than you who can offer the same service for less.

In order to become successful in the field, you need to stand out from the crowd. This means you need to have a pillar of strength for your writing. This pillar should be your niche. If you do not have a niche, choose a topic that you’re a true expert in and you’re passionate about. Once you have a strong niche, offer a range of services that will set you apart from other writers. This will increase your traffic and better your chances of making a full-time income from writing.

Make sure you keep up with trends in the industry so that you’re always up to date with recent events and new information

There are lots of things you can do to ensure your success as a freelance writer, but knowing what the latest trends are in the field is an absolute must. Being aware of what’s hot and what’s not can help you identify what you want to focus on.

Keep up with trends in the industry so that you’re always up to date with recent events and new information. If you’re a freelance writer, this is especially important because it’s not easy to keep track of all the changes in SEO, social media algorithms, and other internet marketing trends.

But it’s not just about knowing about them, but knowing how to use that information effectively for your clients! Reading about what new blogs and magazines are coming out or what works for other writers in their articles helps you to figure out what your clients want to read and what they’re interested in. By following those blogs and articles and using that information you can become a more successful and skilled writer and help your business grow!
