I have been following this tutorial exactly to the T and just got my first client. Thank you so much for your help! (Took me a bit longer than 48 hours, though)

[karekorn]

I NEED to make this happen. I've been a legal secretary for 24 years and it's sucking the life out of me. I'm an artist and writer at heart, and didn't go to college for it for personal reasons back in the day. Now, I've gotten a taste for writing business Bios/About us pages/marketing brochures for a couple friends, and I'm loving it!!! Please dear God, let me make this happen!!! I cannot stand working for lawyers another day...

[mr.wisecrack]

After 1 day of sending emails i have got a yes, TYSM!

[eurotourcaddy]

Sean, I've watched about 17, 000 of this type of freelance writing videos nd hit air the ONLY one that has struck a chord. I am going to make it. And when I do I'll buy you a cyber beer. Cheers Chris

[MaceyCulotta]

Thank you so much for this video, I sent out emails and perfected my pitch, and was able to get an opportunity to send a sample piece. I landed my first job the very next day! Thank you for the help and direction. I watched all your videos about freelance writing.

[natechenry]

As soon as you said bridge business and how you explained that it’s “for those who want more free time to spend time doing hobbies” is what I related to from the get-go. Because that’s exactly what I’m looking for. I want to spend more time doing outdoor activities, I don’t want to spend most of my life working for someone else in that way. And I feel like freelance writing for others is the way for me because I love reading and I love writing stories.

[NokthulaMadondo]

Geez, am I glad to have come across this video. I was preparing to dunk myself into the fivverr /upwork murky waters (because everyone says that's how to get clients). Loved the outreach tip and I'm on it, like white on rice.

[ahorseisahorseofcourse]

I currently run a freelance illustration business and am looking to do a side-hustle in writing. The #1 thing I learned doing freelance illustration is that you really need to hunt people down who need art and offer yourself as the best option. Jobs absolutely do not just come to you right away in the beginning, haha xD

[raylandparkerproductions]

I’ve watched so many of these types of videos and you were the first person who didn’t try to sell me an online course or try to convince me that I need to start selling online courses. Thank you for actually providing valuable information! Can’t wait to check out the rest of your channel.

[Heybennetta]

Finally!! An informative and real video on how to start a freelance writing career!

[marknoahsotelo]

Smart, concise and well informed. This is the best freelance writing business content I’ve found on YouTube if not the internet itself.

[dragonaxe]

I love your enthusiasm and honesty. Like your cold-intro email, you're personable and engaging, and there's none of the "make a billion dollars in your first week" BS that most other YouTubers shout. I'm 55, and have just been made redundant (with a research and medical device background. How spooky is that, lol) so I'm signing up and putting time aside to see if freelance writing could be the answer to my digital nomad prayers :o)

[mejerik]

This is the most value-packed video about freelance writing out there. It's outstanding.

[TheCyberguy]

THanks so much! I have 6 years background in fire extinguishers and breathing air/life saving equipment. Didn't realize I could copywrite about it.

[annasnellen]

Thank you Sean. I have left my teaching job. I have to believe in myself now -- that I can jump on this Bridge that will take me to my life as a Writer... You are a great help because the steps you mentioned make sense. I'm going to need courage for step 6 LOL

[Samuel-kuqb]

I'm definitely no success story, but believe it or not by showing genuine interest and excitement towards a ghost writing gig that was looking for *experienced* freelancers I got the job and was hired within... idk like 15-24 hours of signing up to Upwork.
Seriously helpful to be passionate when applying! Now I have tried other types of jobs, but it appears that I'm the most competent when it comes to creative writing haha

[michellewilliams]

This is awesome! I'm here from your 6-day course. And was really fumbling with what I could possibly offer since I have a background in Healthcare, Customer Service and Medical Reception.. Wasn't sure how to use that as a freelance copywriter, but after watching this I now have a starting point. Thanks! 😀

[Dmeekification]

Wow, this was really inspiring! I’ve been at Musician since I was a small child, I know so much about that, that I end up, talking myself into writing lyrics, or using my story telling skills towards that…But I’ve secretly wanted to be a writer since elementary school. Whether I’m at an amusement park, a concert, or even a date, 😂 there’s always this inner narrative running, that I feel I need to express, but often don’t know where to put it. I would love to finally get this out of my system, and use it to benefit my life, (instead of just being a distraction, or a conversation with myself). Thanks!

Hey Ya'll..."new guy" here! I'm a 68 year old whose physical attributes are SERIOUSLY beginning to wane and need to get out of "slinging" batteries and brake rotors for a living...until now! O.K. I'm a casual observer of Sean's material and I'm astounded at how much sense this makes. I've always "prided" myself at being able to write, (even when I was a sports writer for a local newspaper here on Hilton Head Isl. some 40+ years ago AND DIDN'T KNOW "JACK" about sports !!!), so there's something to be said about living vicariously through others, even though they may know less than you. Point being, do your research on stuff you don't know that much about and somehow it'll rub-off on you, (if you're paying attention). TMI, so I'll end here and will update in the near future...THANKS SEAN!!!

[doreennekesaofficial]

Landing on Sean's channel has been a life saver for me. I've been wanting to start a career in freelance writing and this channel just outlined everything out so clearly. Actually, step number 6 for me is huge because I didn't know exactly how to go about cold pitching in freelance writing. You simplified everything. and thanks for warning me about Upwork. No wonder I tried upwork sometime back send hundreds of proposals with minimal to no success. And it made me think that I can't make it in freelance writing. This channel has completely revamped my dream. Thanks sean!
