Hi,

I have been on the forum for a couple of months now and tried to take action, but I am sort of paralysed, because I don`t really know, what to do, and I am afraid to lose money.

So right now I am thinking of starting in the freelance world as a copywriter. That would have three benefits:
1. I would stop action faking and instead would take some real action.
2. I would learn a new skill.
3. I would earn some money to fuel my other entrepreneurial endeavors. (Right now I am thinking of ecommerce, but who knows.)

I was thinking of using the money I make as a freelancer only for business endeavors. That way, I could circumvent the fear of losing money, because if I dedicate the money I earn for my business, it changes the way I see the money, from money I have to money I am going to invest. That would make it a lot easier for me to invest the money.

Now I got some questions:
1. Do you think, that this is a good plan to get things going or do you think that it would be better to invest the time in a business in the first place?
2. Just out of curiosity: How long would it take, until you can earn a living as a freelance copywriter if you don`t have any experience?
3. I need around 10k to get things going. How long would it take, until one can make that sum with freelancing / copywriting?

Thank you.
