Mother of two shares how she supports her family on one income from freelancing

For anything that you do in this lifetime you are going to need a plan from buying groceries to quitting you day job.  The number one thing you have to do is to decide what you are going to do and develop a road map of how to get there.  If you are thinking about freelancing as full time employment or a side hustle you should probably start with Leaving Work Behind a blog written by Tom Ewer.

Learn about Tom Ewer and planning in order to leave the 9-5 behind.

I ended up signing up for Paid to Blog, which is a course written by Tom on how to break into freelance writing. This is honestly the best $50 I’ve spent on my business this year. He taught me step-by-step how to launch a website, format my Hire Me page and start pitching for jobs.

This is a great starting point if you have a passion for writing or just really don’t like your 9-5.  I have been on freelancer.com and a bunch of other sites that hire artists and writers and there is always way more supply of artists than demand for actual jobs.  To get ahead as a freelancer you will have to bootstrap your way to the top.
