PW$1/min per minute(3)FreelancingPhilippa Willitts • Sheffield, UKCreated 11 years agoAs a full-time, self-employed freelance writer I understand the many issues and challenges related to starting out as a freelancer. It is both exciting and frightening, and good preparation is the key to success. I can share my experience, as well as the expertise I have gained in researching and presenting a freelance writing podcast for several years, and I can help to make sure you have realistic expectations about what self-employment is really like. Do you want to know what you need to do to prepare to become a freelance writer? Are you unsure about whether to do some freelancing "on the side" to see if you can make it before quitting your job? Do you want someone to bounce ideas off for finding your first clients? I can help.Philippa Willitts Sheffield, UK(3)

Another great session with Philippa. Looking forward to the next one. Thanks.
Source: Clarity Robert Spratley Jun 10, 2015I'm finding Philippa's input tremendously helpful at the moment and look forward to our next session.
Source: Clarity Robert Spratley Jun 3, 2015As a collective member at The F-Word, Philippa is also responsible for moderating comments on the site and editing submissions, helping the site to achieve a fine balance between lively, open discussion and the cultural sensitivity necessary when dealing with emotive themes.
On the occasions that I have submitted articles to The F-Word, I have had the pleasure of working with Philippa and have greatly benefited from her keen editorial skills. She has a sharp eye for detail but never loses sight of the bigger picture, enabling her to advise on article structure, tone, flow and language. An insightful and even-handed editor, Philippa welcomes discussion and feedback; her keen intellect and pleasant, thoughtful manner ensure that this is a process to be enjoyed and embraced.
I would have no hesitation in approaching Philippa for her advice on any of the numerous topics in which she specialises: her input has proven invaluable on many occasions.
Source: LinkedIn Lorrie Hartshorn | ThatWordyBird.com Feb 2, 2014Philippa is an excellent writer who consistently adds high quality content to the blog that regularly attracts tweets, recommendations and debate in the comments. She is always up to date on social media developments and is extremely good at making connections with readers and drawing them towards the site. In addition to this, her commitment to equality issues and insights into the application of those principles make her a very valuable member of the blogging collective. I would recommend her skills to anyone looking for a writer or social media expert.
Source: LinkedIn Holly Combe Feb 2, 2014The great difficulty with bidding sites like that is that, often, it's a race to the bottom. Many people buy based on price alone, so if you want to get a decent income, it's *hard*.
Getting your own clients, rather than working through a bidding site, tends to be a much more reliable way of getting a good income through freelancing and doing more of the work you actually want to do.
