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.
