If you want to make a career of writing, should you look for a full-time job in a company or strike out on your own as a freelancer? I’ve done both and have come to the conclusion that freelancing is what I like best. Just because freelancing is best for me doesn’t mean it’s best for everyone. Good question.

Freelancers avoid consultants. And it’s time more freelancers got on board. Most freelancers put off hiring a consultant because they don’t think they can afford one – so they keep scrimping along with their hopeful strategies for months, even years. You’re all set and teamed up with professionals, right? Even better?

And as a freelancer myself, I approve! Businesses hire freelance talent to absorb ebbs and flows in activity or to fill talent gaps that are essential but not required every day. Businesses are all about returns on investments, though, so the big question becomes, how can you get the most from your investment in freelance talent?

You’re a parent or a friend or a lover or an employee or a speaker or a blogger or a stranger on the street or a patron at a restaurant or a person jogging in the park. The problem is that when you’re a freelance writer, you tend to lose your own voice since you have to adapt to the voice of the site/business you are writing for.

Ah, the rush job.

You’ll be on your way to enjoying a freelance business that brings you more of what you want in no time. Many new freelancers fall into the common trap into of believing that taking on more work for less money is just as good as earning more money for less work. Sounds like a win to me. But you also have to enjoy the quiet.

I think this is the thing writers don’t get when they’re thinking about freelancing. A lot of the guys selling get-rich-quick copywriting ebooks don’t make a living as a freelance copywriter, just like a lot of the guys selling information about real estate investing don’t make a living as a real estate investor.

Your freelancing lifestyle depends on your copy being read. This isn’t about grabbing the first freelancer that catches your eye.
