When your doubts take over... read this

Maybe you can relate The feeling I got the first time I got paid for my writing was incredible. But honestly, in the beginning, I wasn’t sure if this “freelance writer” thing would work out. Maybe you can relate, {NAME}... The idea of having a perfectly good, steady job... and then quitting it to run off and “be a writer”... It was exhilarating, and also terrifying! So, I didn’t quit my job… not at first. I just kept commuting. Kept fending off my hyper-controlling boss. And kept in mind the whole time that I was hatching an escape plan. Then came the day I just went for it. I earned $17,000 that year. Not a lot, granted. But I was on a roll. And I did it working from home… having fun at it… charting my own course entirely. The doubts in my mind slowly melted away. The second year, I bumped that income up to $24,000. Still not a lot. But you won’t believe what happened next… Entering my third year, I made what seemed like a crazy goal: In one year, I was going to make six figures as a freelance writer. After earning only $24K the year before. But you know what? I did it! And I haven’t dipped below that income level in the 10 years since. There’s nothing like that feeling of realizing you’re on a roll... and you CAN really do this. I want that feeling for you, too, {NAME}. If I had to pick ONE thing that pushed me to get there above all else that year I really went big — It was having a mentor who was just a few steps ahead. Having someone to guide you through what to do first, second, and third... and how to avoid the mistakes they made along the way… is invaluable. It’s tough to find the right mentor — especially in a year like this past one. But I’d like to give you something that will essentially do the same thing. As the executive editor of Barefoot Writer magazine, every month I track down some of today’s highest-paid writers, along with folks who are just starting to make it... And I get them to share what’s working for them — and what’s not — in the magazine. Each issue also lays out a highly paid writing niche — with a step-by-step action plan for breaking in. Pair that with the constant flow of insight from today’s successful writers into landing clients, improving your writing skills, finding balance and happiness as a freelancer, and more... And, as a reader, you’ll have everything you need to start up a lucrative writing career — PLUS the motivation to keep it going all year long.
