Can Anyone Be a Freelance Writer?

August 31, 2018

Today on the blog at Six Figure Writing Secrets, I’m going to answer a question I see all the time – Can anyone become a freelance writer?

My response might be a little bit controversial, but it’s because I take this business very seriously. I love helping people build and grow their businesses. There are so many different business types out there, and we are not all suited to every type.

Truth: You Have to Be a Good Writer to Be Successful as a Freelance Writer

A great example: I am terrible with math so I would not make a good engineer. It would be very hard for me to get my skillset up to par with other engineers. I’d struggle in every level of my schooling. I wouldn’t enjoy it either.

That’s not to say that I couldn’t be an engineer and that I couldn’t master some of those skills. But that learning curve is going to be a heck of a lot harder for me.
