Back in 2011, Laura Pennington was teaching at an inner-city school in Baltimore and working 16 hours a day.

She had tried paid surveys and mystery shopping for extra money, and none of it paid off. Then she met her friend Shelly at a coffee shop, and Shelly said something about Laura that sounded far too ordinary to matter. It was about the emails Laura wrote and the way she always got her work done on time.

That remark set Laura on the road to earning her living as a writer, even though she had no writing degree.

She explains what Shelly saw, and what she did about it, in this free video:

Laura Pennington used to get into her car at 5:30 every morning to drive to her teaching job in Baltimore, while her husband was still asleep.

She says her eyes would fill up most mornings, because it meant leaving without helping the kids get dressed or packing their lunch.

These days she writes for business clients from home, and her commute is the 23 steps from her bedroom to her desk.

How she made that change is in her letter, and there's a video on the same page if you'd rather watch:

How much can someone earn writing blog posts, emails and articles for small businesses from home?

Laura Pennington left the classroom to write full time, and a free report from My Freelance Paycheck, How Much Can You Make As A Freelancer?, takes that question head on.

It costs nothing, and you only need to say where to send your copy:

Laura Pennington started freelance writing part time, back when she was a burned-out teacher in Baltimore. This is how she describes where it went:

"I earned over $100,000 last year as a full time writer. Even when I started part time I quickly was getting $750 to $1,000 every month."

Those are her own results, and results vary. Her very first client hired her within three days, and she credits her success to two habits: hitting deadlines and writing things people want to read.

Her course, My Freelance Paycheck, shows how she found that client and the ones who came after. She talks it through in this video:

If you can write an email to a friend, Laura Pennington says you have enough skill to start freelance writing.

Small businesses need blog posts, emails, short reports and social media posts every week, and plenty of them would rather pay someone than write it themselves. According to Laura, natural writing, the kind you'd use in a Facebook post, is often good enough.

She lays the whole thing out in a letter you can read at your own pace:

#ad One afternoon in 2011, a Baltimore teacher sat down for coffee with her friend Shelly, worn out after another 16-hour day.

Shelly praised two everyday habits of hers that she had never thought were worth anything, and one of them had to do with her emails.

That teacher was Laura Pennington, and those two things turned into her full-time writing career. She tells the story in a free video, and the link is in my bio.

Freelance Writing for Beginners: The Two Habits Clients Pay For (No Degree Needed)

Tell the story of Laura's friend Shelly and their coffee-shop conversation in 2011, then Laura's false start with magazines and newspapers, then the client who hired her three days after she set up. Explain her two habits in your own words: hitting deadlines, which she usually sets herself, and writing things people want to read. Finish with her point that natural writing, the kind you'd put in an email to a friend or a Facebook post, is often good enough.

Laura Pennington was a teacher in Baltimore when she landed her first writing client, a business owner who kept her busy month in, month out.

In this video I go through the two habits she credits for her writing career, and how a friend's remark over coffee pointed her toward them.

My next video is about the two everyday habits Laura Pennington says built her writing career. Her friend Shelly spotted both of them over coffee in 2011, when Laura was still a worn-out teacher in Baltimore.

She Swapped a 5:30am Commute for 23 Steps to Her Desk: A Teacher's Switch to Freelance Writing

Tell Laura's story as two different days. First the old one: leaving home at 5:30 while her husband was still asleep, sixteen-hour days and paperwork two feet high. Then the paid surveys and mystery shopping she tried for extra money, and the friend who pointed her toward writing. Finish with the day she has now, writing for businesses from home with a 23-step commute from her bedroom to her desk, and point to the link under the video.

Laura Pennington describes her old car as "a coffin with wheels". She was leaving home at 5:30 every morning to teach in Baltimore, and nothing she tried for extra money, from paid surveys to mystery shopping, ever came to anything.

Today she writes for businesses from home, and her commute is the 23 steps from her bedroom to her desk. This video tells how she got from one to the other.

A strange compliment over coffee got this teacher out of the classroom

Talk straight to the camera with this picture behind you (green-screen effect). Lift your own coffee mug when you get to Shelly, and finish on the book cover (product/main-book.png) with "Link in bio" on screen.

In 2011, Laura Pennington was a teacher at an inner-city school in Baltimore, working sixteen-hour days with paperwork stacked two feet high around her desk.

Over coffee one day, her friend Shelly told her she wrote great emails, and that she always got her work done on time.

Laura thought that was a funny thing to be praised for. These days she calls hitting deadlines and writing things people want to read her two big secrets.

She explains why businesses will pay for exactly that in her free video, which you'll find through my bio.

Business owners have sent her flowers and chocolate for writing their blog posts

Start on a bunch of flowers or a box of chocolates on your desk, or hold up this picture instead. Talk to camera for the rest, and show the book cover (product/main-book.png) with "Link in bio" at the end.

Some of the business owners Laura Pennington writes for have sent her flowers and chocolate. She even jokes, "Don't tell my husband!"

Laura doesn't have an English degree, and before she started writing for businesses she was a schoolteacher in Baltimore with no publishing experience at all.

What her clients love comes down to two habits she already had as a teacher. She names both of them in her letter, which is linked in my bio.

When you write for businesses from home, who decides when the work is due?

Film the first part by your front door or in your car, as if you're heading out early. Cut to yourself sitting at a desk at home for the second half, with this picture or your own desk in shot.

Laura Pennington used to set off for her teaching job in Baltimore at 5:30 every morning, while her husband was still asleep at home, and she hated that drive.

Now she writes for businesses from home, and most of the time she sets her own deadlines. When a client wants something in a rush, she can take it on and charge extra for it, or she can turn it down.

Her letter and video show how she built a client list like that from nothing. Tap the link in my bio to see it.

#ad Laura Pennington traded a 5:30am drive for a desk at home, and these days she usually picks her own deadlines. Read her story through my bio.

She hardly knew what she was doing, and a client hired her three days later

Hold up three fingers as the opening line shows, then talk to camera. Cut to this picture while you name the course, and end with "Link in bio" on screen.

When Laura Pennington first set herself up as a freelance writer, she says she hardly knew what she was doing. She was still teaching, and her first try at writing for magazines and newspapers had gone nowhere.

Three days after she set up, a business owner hired her. He was so happy with her work that he kept sending her projects, month in and month out.

She turned what she did into a course called My Freelance Paycheck, and her free video shows where it starts. The link's in my bio.

How do you answer a client's writing job in under two minutes when you've never done it before?

Start with your screen showing a blank email and the cursor blinking, then switch to talking to camera. Show this picture when you mention the templates.

One thing that holds a lot of new freelance writers back is the reply. A business posts a writing job, and you can lose an hour working out what to say to them.

Laura Pennington wrote five fill-in-the-blank templates for that moment. You fill in the gaps, and you've answered a project in under two minutes, sounding like a real professional.

She gives them away as a bonus with her course, My Freelance Paycheck, and her letter shows everything else that comes with it. The link is in my bio.
