I started my freelancing journey by taking a course –– Content and Copywriting by MyCaptain. It was a 6-month course.

Though it helped in some ways, it cost a lot of time (and money).

That’s why I’m writing this — to show you how to start freelancing without any course. Just simple, practical steps.

But first, here’s something I learnt from that course:

Writing is a very broad term. There are many categories of it: content writer, copywriter, and creative writer. If I go further into that, then scriptwriter, newsletter writer, social media writer, fiction and non-fiction writer, ghostwriting, and I'm sure I must be missing something, but you get the gist of how vast it is.

You don’t need to master them all. Get started by holding one part of the thread, and eventually you’ll find your place.

Here’s how you can start your journey— no course needed.
