I’ve always said that if you want to make it as a freelance writer, you have to take the business side seriously. Here’s another writer who is saying the same: James Chartrand. In a guest post on Poewar, called Want to be a Freelance Writer? Get Ready for Business!, James points out that there are four other sets of skills you need besides writing, as well as a backup plan for when things go wrong.

writing skills aren’t all you need. In fact, a lack of secondary skills is what sets many freelance writers on the road to failure instead of success.

This is a must-read post, so what are you waiting for? Head over to Poewar and check it out! :)
