Here’s How to Build Your Freelance Writing Portfolio from Scratch
Even if you think you have no writing experience.
If you can remember what it was like to get your first job in high school or maybe in college, every interviewer asked about your previous experience. But when you’re looking for your first job, how can you talk about your experience? The same thing is often true for freelance writers.
You don’t have experience getting paid to write and yet every gig or writing job you find wants to see samples of your writing. And what if you want to get paid to write in a different area than your work experience or your degree?
How do you show potential clients you have experience when you’ve not yet been paid to write? How do you demonstrate experience to your very first clients?
You can’t get experience without a job and can’t get a job without experience. It can often seem like a no-win situation.
