How I Wrote 27,000 Words for My First Freelance Writing Gig
Sometimes we need to force ourselves up against a wall.
The first writing gig I ever got as a freelancer was for a 27,000-word e-book called “The Complete Guide to Intermittent Fasting for Women.” But up until this point in my life, the longest piece of writing I had ever produced was probably closer to 3000 words (and that was for school).
First, I started making.
When I first decided to start blogging, a side-hustle as a freelance writer never crossed my mind. What I did think to myself, was that I could produce valuable content on a subject I’m passionate about (and eventually make money through things like affiliate links and ad revenue if I got enough attention).
But serendipitously, the opportunity to be paid just to write fell into my lap.
Besides trying to make money as a writer, along with many other things, I also sell personalized workout plans & vegan meal plans through my social media, word-of-mouth & sites like Fiverr.
And Fiverr is where this pursuit to be paid to write & create all started.
