Hey Reader,
7 months ago, I began life as a full-time writer.
And today, I’m excited to announce that my first ebook - 180 Days of Freelance Writing - is available for download!
(There's 50% off for 48 hours!)
Here's a quick story:
18 months ago, one of my podcast coaching clients reached out to me. She asked if I could write some blog content.
Sure, I said, why not?
As soon as I said yes, I started spiralling. I’d never freelanced before.
What should I charge?
How should I bill her?
What if she hates my work?
It all worked out fine, but I wish I had known the answer to these questions before I started.
That's why after leaving my corporate job last November, I decided to document my progress on LinkedIn. I wanted to share the highs and lows of building a freelance business.
🚀 Since going self-employed 7 months ago, my life has changed dramatically:
Now, I’m sharing all my lessons to help other aspiring freelance writers turn their dreams into reality.
So remember, 180 Days of Freelance Writing has a 50% early bird discount for 48 hours.

It was an experiment. I wanted to see: What the unsubscribe rate would be How it would feel to put it out there Whether anyone would book a call It's a mixed bag on all these things, and I felt a little dirty putting the course out there. Why? I copied the style from another creator and it didn't really vibe with...
Read time: 3.5 minutes Hey Reader, I recently moved into my new apartment! 🥳️ And not long after, I lost a major client 🤪 Months of steady work and then suddenly POOF - I wasn't needed anymore. Company structuring. Layoffs. Gone. If this happened to me two years ago, I would have FREAKED OUT! But this time? I was like "meh". That's because I've developed a system for landing gigs and making that sweet $$ As a result, I recently closed two new clients, taking my income back to where it was a...
Read time: 1 minute Hey Reader, Now I know what you're thinking: You're a writer, Scott! Why are you recording YouTube videos?! I hear you! The truth is, the video I've just uploaded might be a one-off. I had grand plans to do a whole series around introverts. But after finishing this video, I've realised how much time YouTube takes. Writing the script, recording the video, editing, making a thumbnail, writing the description... It's a lot! And although I could outsource the process, I'm not...
