Writing isn’t easy. If you doubt that, take a look at the average Facebook post. They’re embarrassing.

Many aspiring freelance writers think they can dive into writing for clients with little to no knowledge, training, or experience. They’ve fallen victim to all the “do this and become a millionaire freelance writer” articles that flood the internet.

Sorry to bust your bubble; it takes more than spewing words onto a page. In 2025, I’ll celebrate 10 years as a full-time freelance writer. Want to know how I did it?

Just Who Are You Reading, Anyway?

This is not another “how to get rich quick” article. This is me sharing my five best tips that keep freelance writing clients coming back. Believe me, I’ve lost more than my share of clients over ten years; some were my fault, and some were not.

Every win and loss is an opportunity to learn something that makes me better at what I do.
