Freelance Writing: To Do #1
Getting started in the exciting world of freelance writing? Here’s the very first thing you probably should do.
Study the markets
Yup, that’s it, explore what’s out there. Who’s publishing what? What do they need? How much do they pay?
Although finding specific markets to try for is obviously a good thing, your objective at this stage should probably revolve more around getting a “feel” for the markets, see which ones you may be better suited for, and more specifically, figure out what will be required of you to break in.
