My Review:
I started blogging just for fun and never expected it to generate any serious income. But after hearing many success stories from my fellow bloggers, I realized that I haven't fully utilized the earning potential of my writing skills and area of expertise. Luckily, I was given the opportunity to review "Make Freelancing REALLY Pay", a short and pleasant read that is both informative and inspiring. The book identifies several issues that may stand in the way of a profitable freelancing career, including the tendency for freelancers to underestimate the value of their own work. More importantly, the book provides practical advice on how to find high-paying jobs through various venues such as professional networks and social media, as well as how to make pitches and establish a clientele. This is a great guide for those looking to pursue a freelancing career!

Thank you for sharing this great information.
I absolutely love what you do. I've wanted to get into freelancing for a long time but have been afraid to make the leap. I have a lot of respect for what you do. Thank you

Hi, all! Just popped back over here and found your comments. Kelly, I'm considering a volume 2 or a workbook to follow up Make Freelancing REALLY Pay. I'm just taking a wee break first!
Gianna, I have a steady supply of referral clients these days who keep me busy. Back when I was first starting out, I landed a handful of jobs per month - a mix of one-off and ongoing projects. It gets easier to find plenty of work with less effort once you have built up a good reputation for quality writing!
Kaci, I actually freelanced part time for a year before going full-time in 2008. It helped not to have to take such a big leap all at once:)
