Hey lady! Fellow former LA-dweller here. I've been binge watching your content for the last three days straight. Thank you so so much for sharing all your experiences and expertise. I know you're very pro defining your niche, so I was wondering what your opinion is on combining niches that kind of go hand in hand (in my case this is food, beverage, hospitality, travel, and tourism- all the things i want to write about) - still narrow it down? Or do you think creating an umbrella for these (like hospitality and tourism) would be effective? Thanks again!!! This channel is seriously a gold mine.
What do you guys think of using friends as testimonials in the beginning? Or is that a total amateur move? Would it be better to forgo testimonials all together until I actually have one from a client?
If you do real work for them and they're truthful in their testimonial, it's totally fine. How would people know? I still have a testimonial on my website from my former work-wife.
I'm struggling to pick a niche. Should I learn different topics to be able to write about them. I don't really know what I want to write about or even the type of writing. I know that I'm also interested in writing books. Is it better for a beginner to spend time on writing articles?
Hey Colleen! Thank you so much for this precious help! I'm on my second attempt to become a successful content writer and I'm thinking about making my first portfolio. A quick question: can I put links to blog posts I've written but aren't actually signed by me on the blog page? They are pretty much all the writing jobs I've done so it's crucial I put them on the portfolio... Thank you so much!!! 🤩
What is the easiest writing style for a beginner to learn? Also, is it acceptable to rewrite plr articles to make them unique and then sell them as a freelancer?
Thank you for this! I absolutely love all of your videos as well as your Instagram and website-so polished, professional, and FUN. This program sounds absolutely AMAZING, but it’s really out of my current budget. Is there any chance to WIN a spot in the course?!? Haha-just kidding. But seriously, are there maybe some financing options? I definitely can’t pay it all up front. Thanks for your time and help!
Thanks so much for this! You're literally a lifesaver! Please can you drop links to thew portfolios and pin them as a comment so it can serve as a guide while building mine on Behance
I don’t have a free group, but I have a community as a part of my course: thefreelancewritersguide.thinkific.com/courses/the-freelance-writers-guide-to-the-galaxy
Wow! This was so helpful! I always love to see examples as a way to learn. Thanks for sharing :)
You're so welcome!

Thanks Colleen.... this has been super-helpful. I'll definitely give SquareSpace a try
Give it a shot and let me know how it goes! A similar platform is Jemi. They have a free plan, which Squarespace does not.
hi, you're a life saver and ilu

@@colleenwelsch_ thanks!
Can you take reviews from Upwork and Fiverr and include them on your SquareSpace?
for sure!

First figure out what style of writing you want to do, then worry about a niche.

Unless you signed an agreement with the client that says otherwise, they’re fair game for your portfolio.
Awesome!! Thank you so much. I feel so empowered 🥳

Blogs are probably the easiest. What is plr?

Thanks so much for this! You're literally a lifesaver!

Do you have like a free group for writers on Telegram or anywhere?
