January 2011 Freelance Writing Earnings Update

Well, January turned out to be a great month for my freelance writing business. I made just $40 shy of $2000.
This is great considering I did less than 20 hours of work in January. I'm proving just a little more every day that you don't have to work insane hours to make cash freelance writing.
Of course this doesn't account for time that I used for job searching and marketing, but that only figures out to an extra five to ten hours a month. So, in total, I worked around 30 hours this month. That adds up to around $67 an hour.
Let me tell you, there are very few jobs where I live that pays $67 an hour and the cost of living is low, so we're doing pretty good.

I would like to note that I have been Demand Studios "sober" (as one former DS addict calls it) for six months. That means that I have been either making money by writing for my own blogs and websites, residual income sites or private clients for the past six months. I made a lot of money through them, but the continuous cycle of searching for titles, writing titles and searching for more titles wore me out. I feel so liberated to get off the DS treadmill.

  3. Thanks for being so frank with sharing your progress. This gives me so much hope. Being an "addict" so to speak, I've learned the hard way that I need to diversify. So I'm really working on that process right now.

  4. Thanks Michelle. Since DS is changing the way that people can claim titles, I think a lot of people are realizing they need to diversify.
