01 — "Overview"
Every company needs content. Niche writers (SaaS, finance, health) earn far more than generalists.
02 — "The Crash Course"
- Step 01
Pick a niche that pays
B2B SaaS, finance, healthcare, legal and cybersecurity pay $0.20–$1/word. General blogging pays pennies.
- Step 02
Write 3 strong samples
Publish them on Medium, LinkedIn or your own simple site. Make them the exact type of piece you want to sell.
- Step 03
Build a target list
50 companies in your niche with active blogs. Find the content manager on LinkedIn.
- Step 04
Send short, specific pitches
3–4 sentences: who you are, a relevant sample, and 2 topic ideas for their blog.
- Step 05
Price per piece
$150–$500 per 1,000 words in a niche. Never price per hour.
- Step 06
Over-deliver and ask for a retainer
Hit deadlines, send clean copy, and propose 4 articles/month.
- Step 07
Use AI as a helper, not the writer
Research and outline faster; clients pay for expertise and voice.
"The math"
8 articles/mo × $300 = $2,400/mo; two retainer clients at $1,500/mo each = $3,000.
"Toolkit"
03 — "How people lose"
Competing on price on content mills. Specialize and pitch directly — clients pay more for expertise.
