Freelance Writing Resources
Check out this list of freelance writing resources.
Create a Website:
Many writers prefer Wordpress.
I personally use Squarespace. I love it!
Similar options include Wix and Weebly.
Get a Domain:
GoDaddy is a popular option.
Get Educated:
Want to become a Health Writer (or a health coach and writer in one?)? You may want to consider the Institute for Integrative Nutrition! You even get a discount if you refer to me (just mention my name Kat Gal, and email katgalwriter@gmail.com).
HubSpot Academy has an great content marketing course. It’s free and you get a cool certificate.
SkillShare is a great resource full of awesome courses! So are Coursera, Lynda, and Udemy.
There is a lot of free information on Youtube, of course!
