About you, the ambitious freelance writer

You’re motivated by the idea of writing for dream clients and hitting your income goals, but not at the cost of your own peace. You want to achieve one or more of these goals:

• Earn more from freelance writing
• Work with better (and possibly fewer) clients
• Get organized and stop feeling overwhelmed and frazzled from wearing many hats
• Develop and document client processes
• Be known for what you do and grow a strong network of industry relationships and referrals
• Set and hit goals for your career and income
• Master project planning and time management so you can set boundaries, avoid burnout, and find the work-life balance that makes sense for you
• Consistently learn and upskill as a writer and within your industry

You’ve also already made the jump into freelance writing—this is no longer a side gig on top of a full-time job. (If it is still a side gig, it doesn’t mean you won’t find these resources useful, just that you won’t find dedicated resources for complete beginners.)

If you found your goals in that bullet list above—welcome! You’ll love it here. Here are some resources to get you started:

1. 12 ways to delight your freelance writing clients (blog post)
2. 16 content writing and creation tools for freelance writers (blog post)
3. Email templates for freelance writers (free download)

About Marijana and Freelance Bold

I started freelance writing on the side in mid-2016 and made the jump into full-time freelance writing in 2017. After I found my footing, I helped many freelance writers find their dream clients, increase their rates, and manage their time and workload better.

I always did this mentoring one-on-one, over email, casual video calls, and direct messages, and never in a way that had a public home and was accessible to everyone.

That’s what Freelance Bold is. My goal is to give you tips, tools, and templates you can use to advance your freelance writing career. I aim to use my experience of writing for exceptional companies like HubSpot, CXL, Hotjar, ConvertKit, and more to steer you towards your ideal freelance writing clients.

If you ever have a question I haven’t yet answered through Freelance Bold resources, my Twitter messages are always open. Message me and I’ll get right to it.

You got this. Let’s go! ⚡️
