I’m not a "writer," never was a writer. Didn’t study English, didn’t work in any type of publishing or editing capacity. So, I was where you are… I liked writing and thought I could make some extra money doing it.
In the end, I fairly easily landed 200 freelance gigs before life got in the way. I’m more than happy to share how I got there, so if that sounds good, please continue.
(Please note though, that these results may not be typical, and definitely aren’t promised. I’m just trying to do what I can to help you find success yourselves, and really, overcome any fear you have of being inexperienced. It doesn’t matter.)
