I was recently interviewed by a young freelance writer, Corey Freeman, for her blog at WriterSeven.com. You can check out that interview here. In it you’ll find out how I got started in Web writing, how to earn higher rates as a freelance writer, and what two things I think every new freelance writer should know.
As a side note, I have to say I find it impressive that a 17 year old is not only out there pursuing freelancing, but also blogging. She has one of the better looking blogs I’ve seen in the niche — professional and clean — and she didn’t shy away from premium options relatively early on. Nice content. Nice look. Overall nice job with her blog. If you’re looking for examples of ways to keep it simple but effective, WriterSeven.com is a good one.

She has initiative I wish I had when I was younger. Well, I gained it when I was 19-20, so I guess I did fine :V
Yep. I thought I started young at 19, but Corey puts me to shame. :)
What can I say? If I’m going to be at my laptop all day I might as well make some money from it! Thanks for the promo and the compliments and the interview! =)
LOL That’s definitely a good way to look at it Corey! My younger sis is 19 now, and I’ve been trying to convince her to let me help her get started in freelancing (to earn some money in school with the flexibility to work around her school commitments). She occasionally toys with the idea, but so far hasn’t wanted to proceed. She’s a good writer too, and given the area she wants to major in some publishing credits could definitely come in handy. I’ll have to bring that point up over the holidays when she’s home again. :)
Well done Jenn and Corey for the great interview, it was a pleasure to read!
I’ve known Corey for a while and she’s definately one of the better bloggers I’ve come across, and that’s a big achievement considering she’s only 17 :)
