Today I’m going to show you a step-by-step process you can use to make money freelance writing.

If I could go back in time, I would start freelance writing and get high-paying clients earlier on in my writing career so I could quit my job faster

Freelancing isn’t sexy, but it can give you the cash flow you need to sustain yourself while you are building your big personal brand. I’d use this one-two punch:

  1. Write on Medium to practice your writing and get paid
  2. Start landing freelance clients to round out your earnings

You get the best of both worlds. You get to write some stuff you like and you make money.

Let’s jump into exactly how you can do this.

Step 1: Get Good at Writing

​Use Medium to practice your writing and build a portfolio of articles you can use to attract clients. All of the freelance clients I ever landed were inbound — meaning they found me instead of me having to reach out to them. Medium is severely underrated as a tool to build your portfolio.
