I started freelancing part-time while keeping my job, and only quit once freelance income matched my salary for three months in a row. The key was picking one niche, building samples fast, and pitching every single day.
ā¹
Startup Cost
Under ā¹5,000 ā a laptop I already owned, a simple portfolio site (free), and two paid courses on writing for clients. Everything else was time.
š
Timeline
Month 1: wrote 6 free/low-cost samples. Month 2: first 3 paid clients at ā¹1,500āā¹3,000 per article. Month 3ā6: raised rates every time I was fully booked. Month 6: matched my salary and quit.
š
Monthly Income
ā¹30,000 in month 3, ā¹60,000āā¹80,000 by month 6, working 4ā5 hours a day. I tracked every rupee and every hour from day one.
