How to Write Your Way Out of the Rat Race

Are you looking for your path to freelance writing freedom from a 9-to-5 job?

I’ve got just the book for you. Linda Formichelli’s latest ebook, Write Your Way Out of the Rat Race… And Step Into a Career You Love, is packed with insights and advice to help you make the move to full-time freelance writing. I’ve read my copy three times already. 🙂

But you don’t have to take my word for its genius. Here are my favourite 3 quotes from the book; you decide what you think. [If you like what you read here, you’ll want to read the whole book — lucky for you, Linda’s donated a copy for me to give away as a prize today!]

For another 27 days, there’ll be daily posts here on the blog and more than $2000 worth of prizes to give away, including more books, training courses and other goodies.

And for today’s prize, keep reading. 🙂  [Read more…]

28 Days of Win! Prize Contests for Freelance Bloggers

28 Days of Win! Prize Contests for Freelance Bloggers

The winter holidays are a famously quiet time for most freelance writing businesses. Is yours the same?

It’s no surprise. Everybody’s busy shopping for gifts, planning their family time, and figuring out their taxes — so clients tend to delay hiring a new freelance blogger until the new year.

And the blogosphere is usually pretty quiet, too.

Not here. 🙂

For the next 28 days, my fantastic guest bloggers and I will keep a fire burning for you with daily posts and more than $2000 worth of prizes to give away. [Read more…]

Not Sure What to Write About? Here’s How to Discover Your Most Lucrative Niche

Not Sure What to Write About? Here’s How to Discover Your Most Lucrative Niche

This is an excerpt of Write Your Way Out of the Rat Race…And Step Into a Career You Love by Linda Formichelli.

You want to be a writer. You know that.

But what you don’t know is what the heck you want to write about.

And there are so many choices it can leave you feeling like a kid confronted with all 100 flavors of Ben and Jerry’s.

I’ll help you figure out the best path to take. And don’t worry: You can develop more than one niche, and if one type of writing doesn’t work out for you, you can choose another. It’s not do or die.

Dream vs. Reality

You dream of writing articles about gardening, or blogging on travel topics for a large audience, or writing case studies for non-profits focused on children. Worthy goals!

I know you don’t want to start out writing on topics you’re not passionate about. But I need to tell you that you’ll have the best luck ramping up your writing business fast if you leverage your job and educational background to start getting samples—and money—coming in.  [Read more…]

From Zero to Freelance Blogger: Start Your Engines

From Zero to Freelance Blogger: Start Your Engines

The journey to become a freelance blogger—or proofreader , copywriter, editor, freelance anything really!—can be an overwhelming one.

You know you want to, you just don’t know where the heck to start!

Do you print up business cards? Build a website? Talk to your accountant? Start looking for work immediately… or wait a few months? Ugh!

Writing has been my sole source of income for over 3 years now and even I get a little queasy looking at that. I remember all-too-well what it was like to be a newbie: As exciting and full of opportunity as it was, it was also gut-wrenchingly frightening.

It doesn’t have to be.

When I first took the plunge and went freelance, I kept wishing that there was a map I could look at. Some sort of step-by-step guide. I understood that the journey was my own—and that everyone’s freelance journey is different—but there were some things that everyone experienced, weren’t there? There had to be!

Turns out, I was right. [Read more…]
