6 Tips to Create a 6-Figure Freelance Writer Website
How to easily build a website that attracts writing clients
Building a professional writer website is the best thing you can do to jumpstart your online writing business.
You might think, “Do freelance writers need a website though?”
The answer, 100% is — YES.
Without a freelance writing website, three things normally happen:
- Clients think you’re a newbie who can’t deliver
- Clients tend to think you aren’t that serious about writing
- You make it easy for clients to say no when you reach out on job boards and other content marketing jobs as you don’t have a “home base” online
Your writing website is where you send potential clients to learn more about you and your writing services. This is how you stand out among the sea of other writers applying for the same gigs.
Without a website, clients won’t get to know, like, and trust you vs. another writer who has an online portfolio.
As a freelance writer, you want to build a website so that you can control your brand online. I created mine back in November of 2017 in about four hours and it changed everything.
If you’re already nervous and overwhelmed thinking about this process, take a deep breath. I promise it will be easier and much less stressful than you think.
In this post, I’ll teach you exactly what I did to build a website that’s helped me earn more than $100,000 writing online.
I’m confident that once you read this post and implement these strategies, your success will be inevitable.
