Gain insta-confidence in your writing skills

(making it easy for clients to trust & pay you) Do you have any bylines, {NAME}? It’s easier to get an editor’s attention if you do… Because they can quickly see that you’ve had work published elsewhere, and on platforms they trust, it gives them immediate confidence that you can do what you say you can: write. A byline, of course, is exactly what it sounds like: a line that tells you who the article is written by (aka the journalism term for author credit). And if you can build up a handful of them, you’ve got a major leg up when it comes to landing paid writing projects. But how do you get your first byline? There are a couple of ways… - You could work backward and make a list of your dream clients or dream publications. Then list out their competitors — ideally those who are “one step down” from the bigger names. Then repeat the process, and dial it back to even smaller publications. - You could try writers’ groups on social media. Depending on the group, sometimes editors drop in to make article requests or other copy call-outs. - You could write for free. It’s not ideal, but it’s a way to get your name paired with places that publish. Or, you could try [this proven way]( to get published and paid, fast. It’s worked for hundreds of other writers. I should know — I’m the one who hired them! And I’ve watched many go on to enjoy full-time writing careers, with all the flexibility and control they want. If you’d like to fast-track your way to bylines, [this could be the perfect fit](. To your future as a writer, Mindy McHorse Executive Editor, Barefoot Writer P.S. The sooner you start this, the better — too much competition means you’ll have to wait your turn.
