Make real money as a non-fiction freelance writer and live out your dreams of flexibility and redefine your career. You don't need a big blog following with loyal fans, be well-connected, or even have much talent to break into freelance writing. You also don't need dozens of clips to launch your new career to potentially command $1,000 a month as a new writer. And that's with the possibility to double your income as you gain experience. But it won't happen overnight. Stop wasting your time paying dues and playing the "send and wait" game with query letters. There's a better way to launch a successful freelance writing career for magazines, websites, newspapers and more.

THE SOLUTION
All you really need is to know is
how to come up with irresistible
ideas, market them to the right
people and be the type of
freelancer everyone wants to
work with.
That’s how I earn $100 on up to
$1,500 an assignment and can
show you the ins and outs of
breaking in, navigating your way to
a client’s inbox and landing work.

Let’s get realistic. Building a
freelance writing career
doesn’t happen overnight.
Even as a working writer, I
still get plenty of
rejections.
But now I know how to
leverage them into a paid
“Yes” instead.

THE SOLUTION

11. www.Udemy.com/Break-Into-Freelance-Writing-With-No-Experience
Here’s what I didn’t have:
Didn’t have connections in the publishing industry.
Didn’t have impeccable talent and writing skills.
Didn’t wait around to gather a lot of clips before
breaking into markets like The LA Times.
Didn’t get an MFA or take a lot of writing
workshops.
Didn’t break in with a bunch of high-end, glossy
magazines. But I did get clips in huge newspapers
and big magazines in just a few short months
(once I finally broke in).

12. www.Udemy.com/Break-Into-Freelance-Writing-With-No-Experience
THE SOLUTION
It took a few years to
perfect my approach, but I’ve
gotten to a point where I can
now just introduce myself and
land work. And it’s not just
because of my clips, though I
have those too. It’s because I
know what a client almost
always wants in a freelancer.

THE SOLUTION

Most Writers Struggle
The reason most writers struggle
for so long is it’s overwhelming to
know where to start and when to
have enough faith to take bigger
leaps into new markets.
It’s hard to think you can quit
writing for peanuts and start
landing lucrative clients to give you
that flexibility and creative outlet
you crave.

Are you a frustrated
Sending out queries and waiting for weeks or
months only to be rejected by a form letter?
Trying to break into tiny markets with no
success?
Drowning in a sea of information with no idea
how to track down the right people?
Wondering why “real” writers consistently come
up with irresistible ideas everyone wants?
Afraid you’ll never get ahead of your
competition?

It takes a lot more than talent to break into

importantly – stay there.

MY VISION

Sure, you might get
impossibly lucky
and break into a huge market on your first try,
but there are a thousand other avenues that are
easier, more profitable and usually yield a higher
reward (like ongoing assignments).
Your neighborhood alone probably has thousands
of dollars in untapped writing revenue.
Your city probably has editorial work ranging
from glossy magazines to high-paying corporate
pieces at nearby hospitals.
