I know what it feels like to be stuck in a job you don’t enjoy.
Working a full-time job isn’t all it’s cracked up to be. You’ve got to work set hours every day, be told when you are (and aren’t) allowed to have time off, and do work that doesn’t put a fire in your belly. 🔥
I was the same. I worked at a marketing agency, and whilst I learned a lot, I just knew working in an office (and for an employer, full stop) wasn’t for me.
I started freelance writing in January of 2017. I quit my job 9 months later. And now, just 3 years in, I’m making $100k yearly.
I want to show you how to do the same.
About Elise
Hey! I’m the person behind My 9 to 5 Sucks.
I’m a B2B freelance writer hired by some of the best in the biz, including HubSpot, Databox, and Content Marketing Institute.
But when I quit my job, I didn’t have any of those big names in my arsenal. They were just on my “dream client” list, and I was charging just £30/post to any client I could get.
I live in West Yorkshire (UK) with my boyfriend and Spaniel puppy, Hugo.
It’s one of the biggest reasons why I quit my job to freelance; I wanted to spend more time with important people. Commuting 2 hours each way just wasn’t my kinda thing.

I get a few people asking how I managed to quit my job and start a 6-figure freelance writing business in two years. This is where I’ll share the good, the bad, and the ugly of it all.
The goal? So you can do the same thing.
