How to Validate a Freelance Writing Niche and Know It's Profitable

One of the most important questions you can answer for yourself is whether or not a niche is profitable. Now, I personally think it's possible to make some money doing just about anything.

04 Apr 13:57

When should you accept low rates?

One thing I've dealt with many times over my career -- and I've seen other writers deal with it constantly, too -- is this idea of accepting low rates (or even zero pay) in exchange for "exposure." Normally I'm pretty skeptical and would say don't do it, but there are a couple of exceptions. This episode shows you what they are and gives you a framework to decide for yourself whether or not writing "for exposure" is worth your time.

04 Apr 13:57

Why YOU need a VA, ASAP

I've been in business for almost 10 years now... and for the first 9 of them, I did pretty much everything by myself. Now I know better, and I want you to know better, too! There's a LOT that a VA can offer you, even if you're "just" a freelance writer. In the time I started working with my VA, Heather, I've learned how amazing it is to have someone else taking care of all the "little stuff" in my business so I can focus on big-result stuff. YOU can benefit from a VA, too, and it doesn't have to cost you an arm and a leg, either. In this episode, I share how I work with my own VA and how I think you, as a freelance writer, could also benefit from having one. I'll also give you some pointers about how to know when it's time to hire, what things to outsource first, and where to find a great VA for yourself. (Hint: her name is Heather and she's awesome! breakingtheconfines.com or contact@breakingtheconfines.com) Don't miss this one!

Websites That Pay Better Than Upwork

The biggest time-wasting mistakes freelance writers make

Are you wasting your time on any of these major mistakes? If you identify with any of these, you'll be better off stopping and changing focus.   - spending months on a website - social media profiles and content marketing - trying to start their blog at the same time - researching all day and all night without taking action or implementing anything; getting ready to get ready - making drafts but getting stuck in editing mode and never publishing them - spending months applying to job boards and nothing else - ghostwriting without being clear whether or not they can use those pieces in their portfolio (and not charging enough) - doing anything and everything to avoid looking for clients

Tips for writing faster

As a writer, I can get a little neurotic about my writing. Perhaps you can relate? What I've had to learn over the years is that there's a difference between doing a great job... and just being neurotic. Being neurotic is fine, if it's not the thing keeping you from getting paid (or paid enough). But for many of us, it's a big block. And one of the neuroses I see out there in freelance writer land? They come down to various "reasons" why we can't write faster. Today I address those issues head-on.

Do you have to get on the phone?

Good news and bad news: You don't have to get on the phone for every client... BUT, there will be times when you'll need to get on the phone if you want to get the gig.
