Book Synopsis
Every year, millions of writers struggle to find work, and most make little more than spare change from the assignments they land. With the expansion of the online freelance marketplace, anyone with the right skills can learn to thrive and build a full-time career as a freelance writer. Author P. J. Aitken shares with readers what those skills are—the same skills that have earned him high levels of success on Upwork and other online freelance platforms. His tips include:

Creating the perfect profile
Writing winning proposals when bidding on writing jobs
Garnering the rating system that will bring recognition and new clients
Establishing long-term clients
Outsourcing for the most efficient results
Blogging—for pay!
Navigating the best sites and avoiding pitfalls many writers fall into

The Online Writer’s Companion is an unprecedented and indispensable guide for aspiring writers and authors of various materials and backgrounds, from bloggers to professional writers, students to retirees. It can even touch freelancers in other trades who want to hone their skills. By learning to make the most of a myriad of websites for freelance writers, readers will finally have the knowledge to succeed!
