6 Figure Freelancer Review – How To Make 6 Figures As A Freelance Writer

Written by David Drake, Six Figure Freelancer is an ebook that makes for a good introduction to the world of freelancing. However, despite the title, it´s not just for freelance writers that are high-end, but for any writer, no matter their experience level or skill level.

Even as a total beginner, reading this ebook will help you skip the poor advice you´ll find on the Internet, and it will cut from the learning curve towards becoming a freelancer with success and help you make a decent income from your work.

While not perfect, this book is still a decent source of information. A few of the suggestions I made to the author include:

- Fixing the statistic that addresses those that want to write a press release – it´s too long right now ( which was obvious immediately, as I´m working in an online PR firm)

- Writing more on the rates that you can ask for freelance writing

Now that we covered these issues, there are a few subjects that can help freelance writers that are new, and are covered in this ebook:

- Using freelance bidding sites successfully ( one thing that you might disagree about is the lowering of rates when you deal with international competition – simply change the market you´re targeting instead. Choose your fees from the start and you´ll know what your minimum working rate is).

- Set up a portfolio for your clients to see (something that any freelancer should have)

- Tips of marketing to bring the clients to the site

- Not using only bidding sites if you want to earn more

- Get your own strategy to reach your goal of becoming a six figure freelancer

- and more…

You will not see me recommend ebooks usually, but sometimes I do, when I have the time to review them personally. With Six Figure Freelancer I´m highly recommending you to read it. If as a new freelancer you want to earn more from the Internet, this book should prove very useful.
