On today's show, I have Alli Hoff Kosik who is a freelance writer living in New York City.I found Alli's blog a few months ago while reading a Brit + Co article and quickly realized we had a lot in common. Alli started her freelancing career about a year after I started my business and I could really resonate with many of the struggles and successes that happen to you as someone who's self-employed. During the episode, we chat about what it was like for her to leave her dream job and work as a freelance writer, how she got started, advice for people who want to break into the freelance writing industry, how much she gets paid per article, and a whole lot more!Excited for you to tune in and hope you enjoy!

• What it was like for her to leave a dream job to work as a freelance writer.
• How she got started as a freelance writer.
• What she thinks people misconceive about being a freelance writer.
