If you want to make a career of writing, should you look for a full-time job in a company or strike out on your own as a freelancer? I’ve done both and have come to the conclusion that freelancing is what I like best. Just because freelancing is best for me doesn’t mean it’s best for everyone. Good question.

Written by Taylor - 39 Comments This discussion we’ve been having about whether bloggers should get paid for their work is fascinating, and I think it’s pretty great that the whole MwP community here has been so level-headed and thoughtful about it. To hear them tell it, bloggers who don’t give it away have turned positively abusive.

You Need a Good Business Fit First If you’re a freelancer, choosing to work with an expert who has never worked on the internet, has never worked with online businesses or who has never been exposed to the freelancing lifestyle is a big mistake.

You’re a parent or a friend or a lover or an employee or a speaker or a blogger or a stranger on the street or a patron at a restaurant or a person jogging in the park. The problem is that when you’re a freelance writer, you tend to lose your own voice since you have to adapt to the voice of the site/business you are writing for.

You’ll be relaxing your way to a freelance business that lets you breathe and still pay the bills. There are a lot of freelancers who have trouble saying no (which you haven’t, you’ll note), and they tend to be people-pleasers that want others to like them and think they’re helpful. Ah, the rush job.

You’ll be on your way to enjoying a freelance business that brings you more of what you want in no time. Many new freelancers fall into the common trap into of believing that taking on more work for less money is just as good as earning more money for less work. Sounds like a win to me. But you also have to enjoy the quiet.

The only inhibitor might be finding the time for freelancers or small business people but think of the value that a course could add to your business.

Mention your speciality, how long you’ve been freelancing (if you’ve been doing it for more than two years), what kind of clients you work with, and why you’re qualified for the job.

That makes the client think that he doesn’t need to run out and hire another freelancer to take your place. The client will probably also be glad he has a freelancer who meets deadlines come hell or high flu season. Most freelancers do worry about when to stop and try to push on until they know they’ve lost the war.

Freelance writing requires you to take responsibility for yourself in a way that other jobs don’t. Your mind, like your body, must be trained to perform in certain ways, and a regimented schedule is a necessity when it comes to earning a living as a freelance writer. The result was some pretty good advice. Hang onto those ones!

Sometimes, the most effective way to be the best freelance writer for your client is to tell that person why you shouldn’t be hired for a specific job. I’ve even suggested using a freelance writer to write posts for them. Never would I have thought to suggest hiring a freelance writer for guest posts. Thanks Rebecca!

The people whose fans would knife you if you said an ill word against their favorite blogger. But those bloggers aren’t realistic, and they aren’t of any use to you unless you feel like sitting around and watching someone else talk about how great they are.
