I have been following this tutorial exactly to the T and just got my first client. Thank you so much for your help! (Took me a bit longer than 48 hours, though)
I NEED to make this happen. I've been a legal secretary for 24 years and it's sucking the life out of me. I'm an artist and writer at heart, and didn't go to college for it for personal reasons back in the day. Now, I've gotten a taste for writing business Bios/About us pages/marketing brochures for a couple friends, and I'm loving it!!! Please dear God, let me make this happen!!! I cannot stand working for lawyers another day...
I'm in a similar boat where I'm trapped doing something soul-crushing and would rather be writing. I hope your business is growing and you're still enjoying it!
Sean, I've watched about 17,000 of this type of freelance writing videos nd hit air the ONLY one that has struck a chord. I am going to make it. And when I do I'll buy you a cyber beer. Cheers Chris
Thank you so much for this video, I sent out emails and perfected my pitch, and was able to get an opportunity to send a sample piece. I landed my first job the very next day! Thank you for the help and direction. I watched all your videos about freelance writing.
As soon as you said bridge business and how you explained that it’s “for those who want more free time to spend time doing hobbies” is what I related to from the get-go. Because that’s exactly what I’m looking for. I want to spend more time doing outdoor activities, I don’t want to spend most of my life working for someone else in that way. And I feel like freelance writing for others is the way for me because I love reading and I love writing stories.
I currently run a freelance illustration business and am looking to do a side-hustle in writing. The #1 thing I learned doing freelance illustration is that you really need to hunt people down who need art and offer yourself as the best option. Jobs absolutely do not just come to you right away in the beginning, haha xD
Geez, am I glad to have come across this video. I was preparing to dunk myself into the fivverr /upwork murky waters (because everyone says that's how to get clients). Loved the outreach tip and I'm on it, like white on rice.
I’ve watched so many of these types of videos and you were the first person who didn’t try to sell me an online course or try to convince me that I need to start selling online courses. Thank you for actually providing valuable information! Can’t wait to check out the rest of your channel.
This is awesome! I'm here from your 6-day course. And was really fumbling with what I could possibly offer since I have a background in Healthcare, Customer Service and Medical Reception.. Wasn't sure how to use that as a freelance copywriter, but after watching this I now have a starting point. Thanks! 😀
Thanks so much, Michelle! Actually having that healthcare background could be excellent for you - especially if you go the B2B route. This video should give you some ideas on how to approach: th-cam.com/video/6P8NzW5zIa0/w-d-xo.html
Wow, this was really inspiring! I’ve been at Musician since I was a small child, I know so much about that, that I end up, talking myself into writing lyrics, or using my story telling skills towards that…But I’ve secretly wanted to be a writer since elementary school. Whether I’m at an amusement park, a concert, or even a date,😂 there’s always this inner narrative running, that I feel I need to express, but often don’t know where to put it. I would love to finally get this out of my system, and use it to benefit my life, (instead of just being a distraction, or a conversation with myself). Thanks!
You could totally do freelance writing for the industry, or also create a niche site around it. I think that would have the potential todo really well.
I have stressed for years about my niche, and never once heard the term generalist. Hearing you talk about it actually gave me hope for pushing forward.
Thank you Sean. I have left my teaching job. I have to believe in myself now -- that I can jump on this Bridge that will take me to my life as a Writer... You are a great help because the steps you mentioned make sense. I'm going to need courage for step 6 LOL
You got this Anna! Start with a single email. And then go from there. Also something that may be helpful is to watch this video from Jia Jiang about “rejection therapy.” Helps to keep things in perspective: th-cam.com/video/-vZXgApsPCQ/w-d-xo.html Let me know how I can help as you get going!
I love your enthusiasm and honesty. Like your cold-intro email, you're personable and engaging, and there's none of the "make a billion dollars in your first week" BS that most other TH-camrs shout. I'm 55, and have just been made redundant (with a research and medical device background. How spooky is that, lol) so I'm signing up and putting time aside to see if freelance writing could be the answer to my digital nomad prayers :o)
I'm definitely no success story, but believe it or not by showing genuine interest and excitement towards a ghost writing gig that was looking for *experienced* freelancers I got the job and was hired within... idk like 15-24 hours of signing up to Upwork. Seriously helpful to be passionate when applying! Now I have tried other types of jobs, but it appears that I'm the most competent when it comes to creative writing haha
I watched this video two weeks ago and have just had my first job funded on upwork with the help of these tips and following a niche. Thank you so much my friend. I did what you said and google freelance writing in my field… and bam. Now I have an ongoing client. Thank you.
Landing on Sean's channel has been a life saver for me. I've been wanting to start a career in freelance writing and this channel just outlined everything out so clearly. Actually, step number 6 for me is huge because I didn't know exactly how to go about cold pitching in freelance writing. You simplified everything. and thanks for warning me about Upwork. No wonder I tried upwork sometime back send hundreds of proposals with minimal to no success. And it made me think that I can't make it in freelance writing. This channel has completely revamped my dream. Thanks sean!
Hey Ya'll..."new guy" here! I'm a 68 year old whose physical attributes are SERIOUSLY beginning to wane and need to get out of "slinging" batteries and brake rotors for a living...until now! O.K. I'm a casual observer of Sean's material and I'm astounded at how much sense this makes. I've always "prided" myself at being able to write, (even when I was a sports writer for a local newspaper here on Hilton Head Isl. some 40+ years ago AND DIDN'T KNOW "JACK" about sports !!!), so there's something to be said about living vicariously through others, even though they may know less than you. Point being, do your research on stuff you don't know that much about and somehow it'll rub-off on you, (if you're paying attention). TMI, so I'll end here and will update in the near future...THANKS SEAN!!!
This video has led me to my dream job. I know exactly what I am working towards now. This was very helpful to niche down from the many opportunities that come with freelance writing!
This was incredibly helpful! I used to do interviews and write freelance for magazine about female drummers. It was back during 2012-2015. I exploring doing some freelance writing work as a "side gig" and I've never done this before. Thank you for illustrating how to approach it and be successful.
This video definitely is the first video I ever watched that explained the freelance process in detail and now I not only have direction on what to do but excitement to actually do it. Thanks! I will certainly check out more of your content for sure!
Oh my God. Sean is the person that is helping some many poor people start making money. He is giving us information we will not find with many websites. Cause many websites do not care about people or care about people making money. Sean you are a blessing to this generation
Cool, also, take the "Pressure" off. Write for a client or a few for "FREE" and use them as a case study or testimonial material or they can pay you for markedly obvious results...if they want you to continue writing gold for them...
If Jack Black and Jason Sudeikis had a love-child, it'd be you, Sean - in the utmost complimentary way possible. This video was so helpful, as is the 72 pages of Freelance Writing Guide I just printed out to study. Thanks for what you do! Appreciate you.
Hey Sean, I really enjoy the content you produce, high quality and really informative. I never thought I could consider writing as a career, it's now something I'm actually considering. Thanks for providing a great alternative to something I see as a great bridge path to success
Sean, I am very sorry for having misjudged you. I stumbled upon your video channel and blog site when I began my journey to be a writer. That was a few months ago. I thought you were fatuous and someone that wasted my time. I was wrong. You have taught me more about the subject than anyone else. I think you are the best at what you do. Again, I apologize.
Ha! Thanks Eddy, this comment made my day. While there may be some fatuous-ness (is that a word?) with what I do here - the whole point is to try and be as useful as possible, while hopefully at least being slightly entertaining. So happy to hear you've got some value out of the content, and dont hesitate to let me know if there's anything I can do to keep pointing you in the right direction.
@@LocationRebel I am currently building my site and I am using your "17 things Your Freelance Writing Website MUS HAVE for Getting Clients" video as a guide. I was in sales for 25 years and your video on how to write a letter of introduction was brilliant It reminded me of the best lesson in sales I ever learned, "Be interested, not interesting". People are more interested in themselves than they are in me. When you let the customers know it is all about them the odds of closing skyrocket. Thank you for all your help.
@@LocationRebel Thank you for your kind words. I wouldn't presume to give advice to you. I merely shared a relevant anecdote that I thought you might find "interesting."
Thank you very much ! I was confused and lost in trying to work from home as a freelance writer while writing my books, also I want to travel around the world as a digital nomad. After watching your video I found a way to achieve my dreams! Thank you very much!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Great video. I've been one of the people you described for years. You nailed the major things people need to work on to get started. You also inspired me to rethink how I've been looking at freelance writing and copywriting. Thank you. I'm also taking your 6-day course. Keep up the great work.
As an aspiring freelance entrepreneur in the B2B writing space, I found this video Sean to be of great value. I took note of creating a spreadsheet and started to populate it. 5-10 per day of HYPER-personalised (yes I am in the UK so I use 's, no 'z') emails is now written on my whiteboard in front of me. Which other lots-of-value videos would help me get started?
Haha I'll let your lack of z's slide :) I'd check out these videos Freelance Writing for Beginners: 31 Questions Answered: th-cam.com/video/WH2zj72Dpt0/w-d-xo.html Rewriting a Horrible Pitch: th-cam.com/video/hcBqaaA-yHg/w-d-xo.html But honestly, I'd go through my archives and just pick ones based off the topics you need the most help with.

Great video! I recently left my full-time job as a UX writer because it didn't fit my writing style. I realised it much later! I'm not venturing into freelance writing and trying to aim for the best. Thanks for your advice and guidelines.
Thanks so much for this video! It was very informative and authentic. It is so nice to find a youtuber that is truly knowledgeable about their topic and gives good advice with zero gatekeeping. This is awesome!
you literally open my eyes i have my own blog and have been doing poetry for years. i finally feel like i can do something extremely passionate and fun. I took down as much notes as needed and downloaded your free lance writing packet and im about to take off thank you so much. It seems like location rebel has everything i need. Thank you so much!!!
This video is, dare I say it?, da' 💣. It rolled through every step in the most uncomplicated and smooth way. You literally sped past everyone teaching the same F.W. information who use the long, drawn out, put-people-to-sleep technique.
Loved the video, Sean. Super in-depth and realistic as always. It's the cold outreach part that stuck with me. I'm at the 40-email mark now and I feel frustrated already, haha! Thanks for reminding that it takes at least 100 of them before I can start to see things working in my favor.
From Oregon also but life has me looking for a new reality and I have watched you these 6 months and I have decided to commit to this. So excited but what got me to you is your real honest and teaching us the steps lots of others just don’t do that. I have to support my state so let’s go!!! Cheers
Hello! This video was one of the most helpful and raw ones regarding Freelance writing! I have one question: how should a portfolio look like? Can you make it more like a blog? Please cover these topics. Thank you!
I've never heard of those sites for freelance, does that mean that they are mostly used by professionals then? Going to follow this closely. Thank you for this. I'm at a transitioning point and right now it's a struggle, but i know hard work and education will help me get closer to my goals.
Great video! I recently left my full-time job as a UX writer because it didn't fit my writing style. I realised it much later! I'm not venturing into freelance writing and trying to aim for the best. Thanks for your advice and guidelines.
This was such a clear and concise explanation of how to get started with freelance writing. Thanks for breaking down the process into actionable steps.
In my case, I'm absolutely new to freelance writing but I'm coming into it with 30 years or roughly 25,000 hours of expertise in a field and a 500 page book on the topic behind me. I'm feeling something very peculiar right now. Oh! It's a sense of hope. I forgot that feeling!
This is really helpful advice !!!! Thank you I will try this and let you know on how it goes , I’ve searched for a video for weeks to help me with helpful tips on trying for a freelance writer and this video you’ve made is just all of what I had questions on . It’s very helpful to where it’s pinpointed on what it’s really about and how to do so in just 20 min not days of courses that wasted my time and money . It’s just to where I know I can make a start. I will be using your advice and I’m super excited on furthering my process of becoming a freelance writer . Thank you for the tip’s and advice 🙏🙏🙏🙏

Came across this, Sean. Superb energy, explanations and content. Subscribed. Will be getting stuck in to the rest of your excellent content and guides. Thank you for taking the time to do this! John, UK.
Great video-I've been doing it for 3+ years but haven't quite gotten past the $5K mark-the main problem is not being able to write fast enough. I'm only one guy! Totally agree about Upwork-useless platform.
I just loved the way you delivered the information. The main steps are explained in an easy, friendly, and, most importantly, sincere way. Thank you for this video.
I just decided this was the path I should try first. Of course, I needed to get a walk-through on how to go about it, and what a wonderful video this was for me! Hopefully I do well, and also love how you used 48 hours on your thumbnail! TH-cam stuff I guess. Thanks!
Thanks a lot, Sean. I've watched a lot of videos out there, but you gave the entire guidelines. The video was helpful, and I hope I'll have success in this field soon.
I’ve been working as a journalist for five years now and have honed my craft. However I have grown tired of noisy newsroom and difficult editors. Outside of writing, my greatest passion is music and I want to go freelance and work for myself.

This video is, dare I say it?, da' 💣. It rolled through every step in the most uncomplicated and smooth way. You literally sped past everyone teaching the same F.W. information who use the long, drawn out, put-people-to-sleep technique.
Loved the video, Sean. Super in-depth and realistic as always. It's the cold outreach part that stuck with me. I'm at the 40-email mark now and I feel frustrated already, haha! Thanks for reminding that it takes at least 100 of them before I can start to see things working in my favor.
did you manage to get clients?
From Oregon also but life has me looking for a new reality and I have watched you these 6 months and I have decided to commit to this. So excited but what got me to you is your real honest and teaching us the steps lots of others just don’t do that. I have to support my state so let’s go!!! Cheers

I’ve been working as a journalist for five years now and have honed my craft. However I have grown tired of noisy newsroom and difficult editors. Outside of writing, my greatest passion is music and I want to go freelance and work for myself.
Great! How can one do music freelance?
Thank you very much! Currently doing research to get started and this was very helpful!
