An Interview With Siobhan McKeown on Carving Out Your Own Niche

  • The Interview
  • Show Notes

One of the most effective ways in which you can develop a highly successful freelance writing business is to offer a unique selling point. If you can provide a type of service that is both rare and in enough demand, you will be able to charge higher rates and pick and choose your clients.

In this interview I speak with Siobhan McKeown, who has done exactly that. She started off as a “normal” freelance writer but made her move into a branded business when she spotted a gap in the market. We discuss freelance writing in general along with tips for carving out your own niche. Enjoy!
