How To Make $300 In Your First Month Of Freelancing
If I can do it, why can’t you?
I don’t know many people who would turn down an extra $300 a month. I certainly wouldn’t. When I created my freelance profile on Upwork at the end of January, I did so with zero expectations of any success. I did not expect to be sat at my laptop one month later, able to share lessons I learned and stories of success.
If you’re reading this, then the chances are pretty good that you’re contemplating freelancing, or have recently started. I, too, was reluctant at first, but let me share with you some advice that a good friend offered me:
‘Whats’ really the worst that could happen?’
I don’t share this information to brag about my success. I have a VERY long way to go if I ever hope to make an income that could support my family. But making an extra $300 in your spare time feels a damn sight more rewarding than binge-watching The Office on Netflix for the third time this year.
My hope is that by providing full disclosure on my first month of freelancing, you can push past the doubt and reluctance you’re likely feeling. If you dream of making some decent money through your writing, I want you to reach the end of this article and think ‘If this guy can do it, why can’t I?’
