This month, I celebrate TWO years as a business owner! What I typically think of as my solely *online writing* business actually kicked off with an in-person marketing gig with a former client. Since then, I've worked on a variety of tasks from managing digital PR campaigns to writing long-form SEO articles. I've operated the business from both an on-the-side (picking up assignments here and there) and full-time (securing regular, recurring assignments) place. When I launched solo in 2019, two of my highest grossing months were August and December — the ~ slow ~ months — and I used the schedule flexibility to take three weeks off for travel that October. When I've had clients in tandem with a 9-5, that usually meant dedicating pockets of time at night and on weekend mornings (hours filled mostly with mindlessly refreshing social media, anyway) to writing client articles. Building this business has helped me grow my skills and connect with great people. Perhaps most importantly, it's given me *options*. I've dabbled with different client offerings, worked across industries and adjusted my workload as needed. Here's to more years in business — however they evolve (I've got many ideas brewing!). 🥂 #businessowner #freelancer #content #writing #writinglife
Congrats on 2 years running your own business. It was a scary leap for me but so worth it! Keep crushing it.
