Freelance writing is pretty easy if you have one thing — clients. Unlike running your own blog, with freelancing, all you do is write content for other people’s businesses.

Of course, there are other intricacies, but that’s the gist of it. Get a topic, do some research, write your content, edit, and on to the next piece.

After attempting nearly 10 different online businesses since 2017, I’m convinced that freelance writing is the best way to make consistent income with your words. While I love Medium, there are zero guarantees.

With freelancing, as long as you have clients, you can make money from home for the foreseeable future. Clients are the lifeblood of a freelance writing business.

While being a good writer is important, being a good freelancer is equally important. Yet, most writers struggle so much with landing gigs that they never get to reap the rewards of freelance writing.

In my three-plus years freelancing, I’ve worked with dozens of clients in several niches and created a six-figure writing business. If I can create a remote writing business with zero experience, I know you can too.
