How to Be a Freelance Fashion Writer

Making Money Off Telling People What to Dress

If you got here from Google because you were searching about how to start freelance writing then you already took the first step.

The first step towards becoming a freelance fashion writer (or any other type of writer) is by just deciding to do it!

Now, the second step is deciding on your prices, and on that subject , I can give you a few pointers:

• Quality vs. Price: If you want to be known as a Quality writer, don’t practice low prices. I would never advise you to charge less than 1 cent a word. If you just want to expand your portfolio, then you can get your prices down. For the newbie writers — don’t be afraid to work for free at first, it will help you grow your portfolio!
• Workload Limit: As a Full-Time writer I also have to establish my workload limits. My workload is of 3000 words per day on a normal day and up to 16000 words if it’s good enough for me money-wise.
• Fixed Price, Hourly Price: I never worked on a “per-hour” basis, so I don’t know how that goes, but fixed price works well for me. Try both and see what option fits you best.

Well, if you are going to make a living out of fashion writing or any other form of writing you can’t be an amateur…
