Freelance writing is easily one of the most popular freelance career paths — how could it not? Do you want to make money writing? Cool. Are you looking to make money working at home or while traveling the world? Great! Freelance writing is a way to start turning your words into cold, hard cash.

But, it can’t be that easy, right?

Well, that depends. Building a viable full-time freelance career might be easier than you think — as long as you are willing to put in the work. In this guide, I will explain how I went from taking a couple of odd jobs a year to becoming a Top Rated Seller on Fiverr within six months.

Join a freelance site

There are plenty of ways to become a freelance writer, but the easiest way to get started is without a doubt to just join a freelance platform. While I obviously have a bit of a bias towards Fiverr, plenty of people make careers on sites like Upwork too.

Signing up for a freelance website is really easy. You’ll sign up like you would for any other account. You need an email, username, and a few other details for payment. You can have an account up and running within minutes. So, what are you waiting for?
