Best Freelance Writer Blogs

 discovered Gabi Logan’s blog a month or so ago and I am loving it. Every Thursday Gabi runs a free one-hour class on growing your freelance travel writing income. You can watch live or catch up on the webinar later. I’m working through each session, but so far every one I’ve watched offers loads of information based on Gabi’s extensive experience, as well as easy to execute ideas on topics such as coming up with better article ideas while you’re travelling or securing a spot on a press trip. 

As a journalist who lived and worked in India for many years Mridu Khullar Relph’s blog is full of frank advice and examples of how to make it as a successful freelance writer. And she should know – she’s written for some big publications including The New York Times, TIME, CNN and Marie Claire. She’s a huge advocate of individual writers pursuing stories that are meaningful to them and earning good money doing so. Need I say more?

If you like your freelance writing advice to be “bullshit free” then Jorden Roper’s blog is going to be for you. Jorden is a straight talking writer who built up a freelance writing business from the ground up with little experience and in a short amount of time. Her most popular posts include how she built a $5K/month writing business in four months and seven ways to find high paying clients.

Carol Tice’s blog is the epicentre for all kinds of freelance writers – those who are new to freelancing, those who want to stop writing for content mills, those who want to get into business writing and even writers who want to monetise their blog. Carol’s posts are forthright and she is a fierce advocate for writers getting paid fair rates for what they do.

If you want to break into content marketing, Jennifer Gregory’s blog is the best one around. From finding a lucrative niche to writing Letters of Introduction (LOIs) to a break down of how Jennifer earned $19K in February 2017, this is a treasure trove of useful, practical and inspiring articles about the booming domain of content marketing.
