About this listen
Sick of being told when you can take a bathroom break?
Is your day job bringing you down? Do you wish you could join the ranks of freelance writers but just don't believe it's possible? Maybe you're retired, but you hate the idea of being a Walmart greeter. Maybe you're a stay-at-home mom who wants to make some cash while the kids are at school. Or maybe you've just always had a knack for writing and wonder if you could do it for a living. If you've ever dreamed of starting a career as a freelance writer, there's no better time than now. But how do you start? Isn't it scary to take that leap?
Can you really make money as a writer?
The short answer is yes. But where do you find clients? Do you have to have a niche? What is it really going to take to make this new career path work? You could take the hard road and figure things out along the way, wasting a lot of time in the process while you scramble to get all your ducks in a row. Or you could hire a coach so you know exactly what to do to start your writing career on the right foot...but only if you have thousands of dollars to spend. Is there a third option that saves you time and money in your quest to write for a living?
Write well? Get paid well.
Yes! Susan Anderson's You Write, They Pay gives freelance writers (and wannabe freelance writers) the tools to get their writing careers going and the money rolling in now. You'll learn:
- How to approach projects when you don't think you know anything about the topic
- How to get paid
- How to get good clients (who pay you well!)
- How to find work when you're just starting out.
Learn how to make your writing dreams a reality today!

If you’re a forward-focused thinker, you may be dreaming about leaving the workforce to enjoy an easier life in retirement or you might even be considering retiring early. But a dream without a plan is just a wish. Passive income is money you earn in a way that requires little to no daily effort to maintain. Some passive income ideas - like renting out property or building a blog - may take some work to get up and running, but they could eventually earn you money while you sleep.

Do you want to make more money on Upwork? The world's biggest freelancing platform is full of opportunity to make thousands each month. So why do most Upworkers not make any money? Because they do it all wrong. I know this because I used to be one of them. My profile was full of mistakes, I would bid on 30 jobs and win none of them, and I never received a single job invite in my first two years on the site. Now I've bid and won countless jobs and have enough repeat business and private job invites where I rarely have to apply to public jobs anymore.

This author is a mom (like me) and that’s why she got into this business, and I appreciated most how she touched on that connection point without droning in about typical mom stuff like constant competing demands on our time, etc...
I have read a lot of similar books (would also recommend Robert Bly for books on becoming a copywriter) and the thing I love most about this one is that Susan Anderson is not about wasting whole chapters asking fluffy questions like, “Are you emotionally prepared for success?” “Do you have a dedicated writing or business space to work in that inspires you?” “Do you know how to operate a phone / email system / blog / etc.” “Can you communicate in a reasonably professional or at least pleasant manner with clients and potential clients?” Duh! Right?
This author skips all that an assumes the modern reader is ready to game, saving you time and space on the pages. She cuts to the meat of the matter of how to make money writing in a practical, realistic way.
My favorite part of this book is when she talks about becoming your own client ;) that was something I hadn’t considered in that way before and it was a little inspiring without being cheezy.
Fair warning: there were of course a few plugs for her other books and educational products / courses. Plugging is to be expected with books like this (part of the sales funnel system she discusses) and I’d say she plugs in a tasteful, minimalistic way and saves the big plugs for the end.
She wrote this so well I might actually consider taking a course from her program but I’ll start with the info she provides here to see if I can succeed with that first.
Thorough, modern overview & capable how-to
