Great post Jane and very informative. I have wondered about freelance writing. Personally I'm not sure I possess the natural skill for short editorial posts though (I waffle too much sometimes lol) x
Really great post, with some very helpful advice. I definitely found taking the time to research the publication/site you wish to write for helps. Not only with making sure you direct your requests to the right people but also get the tone right. x
Thanks for this Jane... I've been a freelance writer for quite a while, but would love to up the percentage of beauty writing and ultimately focus on that full time. You've really given me some food for thought, thank you xx
I live in the US and adore reading your posts because your site is just what I am looking for with regards to beauty and cosmetic products. Many of the US based beauty blogs are not as informative and clever as yours. I look forward to reading your site each day.
I always found it amusing how many beauty writers just happened to fall into the field unplanned, usually from a journalism degree. This post was informative and can be applied to alot of other areas. Truly enjoy this blog.
I have absolutely no interest in becoming a beauty writer (I'm not even that interested in make up or skin care) but I love reading your blog and especially this post, it is well written and upfront. I love your honesty about not having a degree or A levels, just shows that passion and commitment goes a long way.
The great thing about the modern era is that you can make a full-time income just through blogging. You don't need to write for a magazine or website in order to make money. I know a few bloggers who probably make more money from advertising and promoting products as an affiliate on their blog than many freelance beauty writers.
