If you are a beginner and you are looking to take freelance writing as a career (or if you are just a few months into freelance writing), this book is a gem. The author's style of writing is clear and concise. Various *related* topics are covered (somewhat comprehensively) which enables the reader to get a clear understanding of the job requirements. The resources section at the end is useful, but a couple of lines about each link provided there might have increased its utility.However, for freelance writers who are experienced, a lot of info presented in this book may feel repetitive. I have gone through how to set-up websites, how to write for SEO, etc. many times before. I understand it maybe useful for beginners, though.I wish the author had done a detailed comparative analysis of the major freelance sites (like elance, freelancer, iwriter, etc.) and given more info on how he personally landed all the direct writing assignments from clients. Since I was not satisfied with the info given on these two fronts, I had to deduct one star. Also, references to improve writing skills (books, courses) needs additional coverage.Otherwise, the book is good.
