To bootstrap your freelancing business, you probably don't need much. Here's what I spent in the first 4 months of freelance writing:

- $165 for online writing course
- $106 for 3-year web hosting with BlueHost
- $14 for a domain name (normally comes with BlueHost but I messed it up)*
- $101 for office supplies
- $58 for business cards*
- $84 for Grammarly subscription
- $50 for Medium membership*
- $13 for a book on marketing*

Total: ~$525
*Not necessary

You can make money doing a ton of jobs if you have:

• a stable WiFi connection
• computer access
• a bare-bones portfolio (which can be a PDF in the beginning!)

Listen in for more on how I bootstrapped my business and how you can, too. PLUS in First Steps Corner, I talk about how my husband started an exciting new passion project: repairing motorcycles.
