This video is a WEALTH of information. I’ll be watching all your other videos now. Thank you for sharing!

[@ElnaWrites]

Awesome! Glad you found it helpful!

[@plantyeddie]

Thank you always for all of your great videos and time! You are helping and motivating so many of us. The tip that resonated with me the most is reaching out to a local business owner and putting myself out there to create my own jobs.

[@ElnaWrites]

You are so welcome!

[@nextlevelconsciousnesswithLS]

Amazing as always! Thank you

[@ElnaWrites]

Thank you so much!

[@aleksandra8030]

Hi, Elna! Thanks for the useful information. That last tip on tracking your time resonated with me and taps into that "business" versus "creative" mindset. Definitely going to try that out and create a time-laced plan moving forward.

[@ElnaWrites]

Glad it was helpful!

Writing every day works! Doing so helps me become more confident in pitching my work. Thanks, Elna!

[@ElnaWrites]

Great to hear! Thanks!

Hi Elna! Thank you for this video. As for me, the tips that resonated the most were building up your portfolio and follow your favorite writer (you, by the way!). These were my favorite two because in my case I have struggled to pass from researching how to be a freelance writer and getting THE niche, to the point of taking action, write something. And following an expert its fantastic because you can learn a lot about other experiences and what to do to be better! I have recently published my first writing sample in contently, and when I have enough resources I will enroll in your course write your first 1k!. Anyway, thank you again for such great content! P.S. In one of your newsletter emails you said, in the end, something about resources to keep the kids busy, I have read there are various programming courses for kids and parents, you could check something like that :)

[@ElnaWrites]

Hi Ana! You're so welcomed! So happy you enjoyed this video. Can't wait to enroll in my course! Yay!

[@yahyakhansoomro4588]

Hey Elna. Thanks for this one. Can you please give some tips on how to improve writing skills to start freelancing. I mean I am good at English, but I am not native speaker. So, I want to be the best in writing. Please give some tips how to start practicing, how to choose topics etc. THANKS

[@ElnaWrites]

Hi! I do have a video on that exact topic so look around!

[@meryamle6270]

Awesome tips😍👏 thank you so much for all the help, Elna 🙂

[@ElnaWrites]

You're so welcome!

[@jellypush1234]

What would you say about how to network virtually now? Any resources or events or methods we should look into s we can virtually network?

[@ElnaWrites]

You can network by signing up to a businesses newsletter, find them on social and follow them, comment on their posts, engage on social media, find them on podcasts and listen to what they have to say! I hope this helps!

[@elisab7652]

Hi Elna, quick question for you. I have a full time job at the moment but am looking to start writing and maybe build up a side hustle slowly. I know you always suggest getting your name out there as a writer, starting a blog and LinkedIn etc. However how can I advertise myself as a writer while my job is something different? Would that be a problem should my employer notice that? Just wondering what the best way to go about this is! Thank you🙂

[@ElnaWrites]

Hi Elisa! I see what you mean. If you are concerned that your current employer will find out about your side hustle, then I would promote yourself on placed they don't know. Contently, for example, isn't well-known but it's a great way to promote your portfolio and writing. You can avoid using social media or create a new Twitter profile to share your writing and connect with prospects. Then you can pitch to job boards! Good luck!

[@chloes4991]

Hi Elna! Thanks for the informative video. Would it be realistic for a brand new writer to earn $4k a month within a year of starting out writing only blog posts for clients and working part time hours (20 hours per week)?

[@ElnaWrites]

It all depends on the type of client you seek and the type of service you provide. If you excel with copywriting then you can quote $1k per big project for example.

[@sattice]

Thank you for the great coaching Elna! Question- did you ever take an actual copywriting course or did you become self taught to improve your writing/pay?

[@ElnaWrites]

Hi! Yes I did take a copywriting course!

[@Cherokee100000]

How did you find other Freelance writers to follow starting out. I'm going to like you on fb. Also thank you for the links you provided on this video.

[@ElnaWrites]

You can search on google "pet freelance writer" or whatever niche to see them!

[@CC-lo8jj]

Great video! Who did you say the YA author was? (The one you used to follow) I’m interested in looking at her YA books.

[@ElnaWrites]

Her name is Alicia Rades...Google her to find her author site.

[@Abidjan-weekly]

4k is exactly how much I need. Oh God make this happen for me.
