youβll learn quick that niche > general. Tech, finance, or health writing pays WAY more than lifestyle fluff.
Yeahhhh portfolio helps but donβt overthink it. I literally used Google Docs for my first 5 samples and still landed clients π
been doing this part-time for 6 months. I make most $$ writing product descriptions + social media captions for small shops
copywriting, email marketing, SEO blog writing = higher pay. avoid content mills unless you're desperate for a start.
you donβt need a full portfolio to start but having 2β3 solid samples helps a lot. I got my first gig writing blog posts for a local business
Iβve been playing with the idea of becoming a freelance writer but no clue where to begin. Do you need a portfolio first? What kind of writing actually pays
