Exploring Technical Writing

Overview

I started getting paid for technical writing in March 2021 and made over $20,000 from 25+ articles in a few years, apart from working as an iOS Developer. Between December 2021 and May 2023, I wrote another 25+ articles while working as a Developer Relations Engineer, which helped me get better at writing. Earlier this year, I worked on documentation for a startup that tens of thousands of developers read.

I have worked with 8 startups across the UK, Europe, and the USA. Writing on platforms like Medium and my personal blog helped me build my reputation as a technical writer in the Apple developer community.

Through all this, I have learned how powerful good technical writing can be both for the writer and the people reading it. In this book, I want to share everything I have figured out. I will tell you how I got started, found well-paying gigs, charging upto $700 per article, set my rates, and used social media to get noticed.

If you find yourself asking:

  • How can I start my journey in technical writing?
  • What skills are important for success?
  • Where can I find high-value technical writing gigs?
  • How should I price my services?
  • What are strategies for promoting my work and building a brand?

"Exploring Technical Writing" is a book I wish I had when I started. My goal is to help you land your first technical writing gig, especially in this AI era.
