While I'm not going to give away everything I learn for free (as this is a competitive trade), I do feel the need to help people beyond blog posts, and maybe the easiest way to do this is by posting things I learn from so that others can learn from them in their own ways and take whatever they take from them.
So without further comment, here are some things I've found useful over the past few days.
A helpful and informative post from a freelance writer in response to being asked all the time about different ways to get started.
Admittedly an About.com page, but it has LOTS of useful information on how to get started and many pitfalls newbies to the industry fall into.
This one is a very interesting post. Not only is it suggesting a good book, it also stresses the importance of a daily schedule for the freelancer, as it's easy to get lost in the freedom of it all.
OK, this link is to an entire blog. I've been reading through it today and it's a very frank and honest look at someone's freelancing career. She doesn't pull punches and doesn't make the same "you can be a freelance writer too! Everyone can if you read this!" pitch.
Do you have any useful links for new freelancers? Let us know about them in the comments section!
