Want to build a full time freelance writing income — fast? You can do it; your writing skills are in high demand. From go to whoa, you should outstrip your current income within three months. Many freelance writers make six-figure incomes. The Web has created an unbelievable demand for people with good writing skills.

Here’s one big tip before we get started. Write down goals with deadlines, and do this every day. Yes, write them down again each day. Very successful freelance writers actively choose success, and put that success in front of themselves every day.

Another tip is to have patience. When you’re just learning something, everything takes longer. So, you know you can expect this. After you have learned a new skill, your speed improves. What used to take an hour or more might only take ten minutes now. So understand that taking the time to learn is a benefit, and don’t get frustrated with the process.

Here is a four step process you can use as a blueprint for building your freelance writing service.

1. Think about what writing skills you currently have. What are you already good at writing? Start by making a list. Include any blog posts, reports, articles, letters, even small classified ads. Even if you’re brand-new to writing, you probably at least know how to write a resume. With the economy the way it is right now, resume writers are in demand.

2. Put together some writing samples, or doctor some of your existing work so you can use it for samples. You’ll need the samples to show to potential clients. Writing you have already done can be repurposed for use as samples. If you don’t have anything, write a few reviews or articles. Your potential clients need to see samples, and you should be able to create them quickly.

3. Get started with an outsourcing site. These sites are good for learning the ropes as a new freelance writer. I recommend you only sign up with one of these sites. New writers who try too many outsourcing sites too quickly get burned out and confused.

The money you make at out-sourcing sites is generally abysmal, but that’s fine — you’re learning how to deal with buyers. You’re learning to write to a brief, which is more difficult than you may think, because few of your buyers write comprehensive briefs. (A “brief” is just a description of a writing project.) You’ll need to tease the information you need out of your buyers. Getting projects at an out-sourcing site also gives you confidence, which is vital.

4. While you’re bidding on projects, set up a small Web site. Then start promoting the site, as soon as you’ve won some projects. Easy promotional methods include online advertising and article marketing.

It’s very possible to generate a full-time income from freelance writing. Just follow these steps, write down your goals every day, and be persistent. Before long you’ll be a successful freelance writer.
