Let’s say, for example, you have a background in software development or engineering,

and want to monetize your skills outside of your 9-5. Here’s how you can do this through

 writing:

1. Offer your services as a technical writer.
2. Write for B2B SaaS companies on productivity, AI, and work tools.
3. Write (and film) content for an online course on how to start your career in
4.  tech/engineering.
5. Get freelance contracts to write as a contributor to industry-leading
6.  Publications in your field.
7. Start a paid newsletter subscription on Substack for aspiring engineers, tech 
8. students, or other tech enthusiasts.
9. Create a LinkedIn newsletter and monetize it after gaining traction and 
10. building up a loyal audience, through offering sponsored ad places to 
11. companies/individuals in your field, and/or affiliate marketing. Receiving
12.  Sponsorships and doing affiliate marketing/brand ambassadorships allow

14. every day to make money from your writing--other than continue to write.
15. Provide a ghost-writing service for writing white papers, LinkedIn content for

How To Make Money Writing Without Any Experience

Contrary to what you might think, you don’t need strong writing experience or a 

A degree in journalism or communications is required to succeed as a freelance writer. 

What you do

 Need, however, are these ingredients to land your first client successfully:

1. Portfolio

A portfolio is a non-negotiable asset that any freelancer must have to land clients. 

especially 

if you have little experience. But it sounds counterintuitive, right? How do you build a

 portfolio of writing samples when you haven’t worked with any clients yet? Here’s how:

• Start a blog--not for monetizing initially, but simply to create a portfolio of 
• quality writing.
• You can offer your services at a drastically discounted rate to initially gain
•  testimonials, case studies, and a portfolio.
• Create mock writing projects to display on your portfolio.

2. Niche

Decide on your niche. Don’t be a generalist writer, writing anything just because it has he

biggest promise of money. Focus on an industry you’re already familiar with and 

passionate about. This will make it easier for you to build trust with clients, and will also 

make it easier for you to write because you’re not writing from scratch on something you 

have no clue about. It’ll make your writing more enjoyable as well.

3. Pitch

Once you’ve acquired a reasonable portfolio within your niche, it’s time to start pitching 

potential clients. Pitch yourself to clients on Upwork; find B2B service and SaaS providers

 on LinkedIn, and look for freelance writing gigs and project opportunities posted online.

Keep your ear to the ground for any opportunities where your writing might be the 

perfect fit and solution for a company’s needs, where you answer directly to what their 

audience is looking for.

Use ChatGPT to help you create a list of at least 50 potential clients within your niche. 

and reach out to them on LinkedIn and via email.

Structure your pitch to include your writing samples, any specific requirements your 

potential client may have for your pitch, and an example of what you can create for them,

 including sample titles. Mention any numbers that boost your credibility, like your reach, 

views, sales conversions, etc.
