Working as a freelance writer has many attractive benefits:

• Flexible working hours
  
• Location independence
  
• The ability build a business doing something you love
  

Sounds good, right? 

But how do you become a freelance writer?

How do you avoid common pitfalls as you build your writing business? 

And how do you distinguish yourself enough to generate a living while competing in a global marketplace already filled with writers — many of whom are willing to work at nominal rates? 

These questions and fears can be overwhelming for many aspiring writers. That’s why I’ve reviewed lessons learned from 25 top freelance writing experts and put together a guide, just published by my favourite small business blog The Sparkline, that will walk you through the process of how to become a freelance writer.

This guide will take you from frightened and confused about how to charge for your writing to feeling confident in your ability to find clients and then deliver great writing to them.

You’ll have a simple 10-step process you can follow, bolstered by tips from people who have successfully done exactly what you want to do: made hundreds of thousands of dollars putting words on the page. 

I’ve also included dozens of links to additional resources where you can learn more about how to become a freelance writer.
