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...

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)

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

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!

Hey Sean, I really enjoy the content you produce, high quality and really informative. I never thought I could consider writing as a career, it's now something I'm actually considering. Thanks for providing a great alternative to something I see as a great bridge path to success

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

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!

Great video. I've been one of the people you described for years. You nailed the major things people need to work on to get started. You also inspired me to rethink how I've been looking at freelance writing and copywriting. Thank you. I'm also taking your 6-day course. Keep up the great work.

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

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.

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

From Oregon also but life has me looking for a new reality and I have watched you these 6 months and I have decided to commit to this. So excited but what got me to you is your real honest and teaching us the steps lots of others just don’t do that. I have to support my state so let’s go!!! Cheers

Came across this, Sean. Superb energy, explanations and content. Subscribed. Will be getting stuck in to the rest of your excellent content and guides. Thank you for taking the time to do this! John, UK.

Thanks a lot, Sean. I've watched a lot of videos out there, but you gave the entire guidelines. The video was helpful, and I hope I'll have success in this field soon.

This is honestly one of the best videos ive seen on youtube. Thank you!

Great advice! Thank you for putting together this video.

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)

Thank goodness for a video like this, straight to the point and with invaluable information. Happy to subscribe, thanks Sean!

Thank you very much ! I was confused and lost in trying to work from home as a freelance writer while writing my books, also I want to travel around the world as a digital nomad. After watching your video I found a way to achieve my dreams! Thank you very much!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
