Why freelance writing?

In a word ... FREEDOM.

There's nothing I find more freeing than being able to crack open my laptop, write a blog post, and get paid for it!

What if that was your new normal? Brewing coffee, putting on some lo-fi jams, and opening up your computer to start writing?

Luckily, 2025 is the perfect year to start your freelance writing business. Here's why:

Content is a major need

Content needs are surging (hence why AI writing tools keep coming out). There will never be enough hands on deck to churn out the level of content brands need to compete. That's where you come in.

Brands NEED your writing to help them create blog posts, website content, and any other kind of content they use to connect with leads and customers.

Online marketing is a major market

The online marketing world is a booming market.

Email marketing? Social media marketing? Blog marketing? SEO marketing? These are all very important tools for B2C and B2B businesses alike.

But the time it takes to take advantage of these marketing channels is ruthless. That's why businesses lean on your online marketing expertise and time to help them plan content strategies and schedule content.

Without your help, businesses are left scrambling to figure it out on their own. But if you know about SEO or how to reach their target market, you're worth your weight in gold.

The barrier to entry is so low

I've never seen a market with such a low barrier to entry. Even photography, design work, and other creative work require physical tools and a lot of practice before you can start charging good money.

But with online writing?

You just need WiFi and a computer. If you're good at researching, speaking conversationally, and sharing actionable advice, you can start making money with freelance writing!
