Hello, and welcome to A Simple Roadmap for Landing Your First Freelance-Writing Clients

Have you ever. . .

Wondered if it’s possible to make a living writing?
Wished you could quit your day job and just write?
Wanted to start a freelance writing business but don’t know how to start?

If so, this class is for you!

My name’s Rebecca Livermore and I’m fulltime writer. I started freelance writing in 1993, but for many years, I treated my writing as a hobby more than a business. This all changed when eight years ago I started writing for clients. That one shift is what made it possible for me to quit my day job and write full time.

So, the big question is, how do you get started writing for clients?

I’m glad you asked! In this class, I dive into how to land your first clients as a freelance writer.

I share a simple roadmap which includes the following five basic steps:

Determine if client work is right for you. In this lesson, I dive into the pros and cons of client work, so that you’ll go into client work with your eyes wide open.
How to choose an area of specialty. You’ll learn why specialization matters and how it enables you to land more clients and ultimately build a profitable writing business.
How to choose a business model that fits with your personality and dream lifestyle
How to set the foundation for healthy relationships with clients
And finally, how to land your first writing clients.

This class is perfect for you if you’ve dreamed about making a living writing, but up to this point have had limited success.

As your project for this class, you’ll brainstorm your skills, experiences, and interests to come up with an area of specialty. You’ll also complete an exercise to determine your business model. These two things combined will position you to build your dream freelance writing business.

So what are we waiting for? It's time to get this show on the road!
