First Ever Live: Freelancing/Ghostwriting FAQs ✍️

A conversation with Emma Nelson and Jo Ollila that answers all your burning questions about career freelancing/ghostwriting!

Happy Friday, friends! First off, I’d like to say a huge thank you to

, , , , and many others for tuning into my live video with this past Wednesday morning. The turnout was far better than we’d hoped for, and we have each of you to thank for that!

In this Live, Jo and I discussed some of our most frequently asked questions about freelancing and ghostwriting. We chatted about things like:

  1. What is ghostwriting? What’s the difference between freelancing and ghostwriting?

  2. Why should a freelancer choose a niche? Is doing so limiting to one’s creativity as a writer?

  3. How can one find more clients as a freelancer? What are some tips for successful outreach?

  4. Why is it important to sign contracts with your clients?

  5. Are freelance platforms like Upwork and Fiverr a good place for writers to get started/build a portfolio? (My opinion is a bit controversial! 😬)

…And many more!

The Live was a success! If you found the Live or find the recording helpful, be sure to let us know in the comments and list any questions you’d like us to address next time. Jo and I had a fantastic time working together and have chatted about making Lives a more regular thing. Be sure to let us know how we can better serve you with the Live feature!
