Freelance Writing
Getting Started · 5 steps
Step 1: Define Your Writing Niche and Services
Choose a niche and the formats you'll offer
- List every topic you have knowledge or genuine interest in — professional background counts heavily here
- Research which writing niches pay the most: B2B technology, finance, healthcare, SaaS, legal, and marketing consistently command premium rates ($0.10–0.50/word)
- Choose one primary niche and one secondary niche — you can expand later, but start specific
Step 4: Land Your First Paying Client
First CustomerOutreach methods that work with zero experience
- Create a profile on Upwork and ProBlogger Job Board — write a headline that includes your niche, not just 'freelance writer' (check each platform's eligibility requirements, including any age restrictions, before joining)
- Search LinkedIn for '[your niche] content manager' or '[your niche] marketing manager' — these are your ideal clients
- Identify five relevant prospects or opportunities each weekday, then send tailored pitches that mention a specific gap or opportunity in their content and link your portfolio

Built by someone who's been at the starting line.
BusinessGO was created by Mateo Ventrone-Ortega, whose hands-on experience includes running a car and window cleaning business, buying and reselling bikes, building websites, and co-founding Tesoro Wristwear.
Those ventures taught him how confusing the early steps of starting a business can be — the research, the second-guessing, the unclear path forward. BusinessGO organizes those early steps into practical roadmaps so first-time entrepreneurs can move with more confidence.
BusinessGO's guides draw on research across many business models. Not every guide comes from Mateo's personal experience, and nothing here is a guarantee of any particular result.
