Freelance Writing Start

Followed up on the interested publication — they want revisions. Spent the day editing and resubmitting. Also sent 3 new pitches.

Article 4 published: 'Why Every Developer Should Start a Blog.' My most personal piece yet. Got picked up by a newsletter with 5K subscribers.

Did a writing sprint — outlined 3 more article ideas and wrote rough drafts for 2 of them. Building a content buffer for consistency.

Article 3: 'Tools I Use to Write 2,000 Words Per Day.' Listicle format. Easy to write and gets shares. Published on Medium with friend links.

Received a rejection and an 'interested, send the draft' response from my pitches. Wrote the full draft and submitted it. Exciting!

Article 2: 'How Solo Founders Can Build in Public.' Published on my blog and cross-posted to Hashnode. Got some good engagement in comments.

Pitched 5 publications via email — personalized each pitch with a topic angle relevant to their audience. Used Hunter.io to find editor emails.

Wrote Article 1: 'The Rise of AI Writing Tools — Threat or Opportunity?' Published on Medium. Spent 3 hours researching and 2 hours writing.

Set up my freelance writing profile on Contently and created a simple portfolio page. Identified 3 niches I can write about: tech, productivity, and startups.
