Did you know that there are other services you can offer as a freelance writer apart from writing?
And the good news is that you can quickly learn these skills and get clients who will pay you well. You see, being an entrepreneur means that you need to find a way to make the business thrive.
Freelancers have a very difficult task ahead of them.
Not only do they have to create entertaining content that manages to catch the eye of the average skimmer, but they have to please the client making sure the content aligns to their goals and vision.
Often, they are required to break it down for the layman, while discussing a very complex topic.
Are you looking to add to your bucket list of clients as a freelancer?
Wondering whether using Craigslist to land writing gigs is a thing?
Freelance writing is by far the best way to make money real quick.
There’s a problem though: Today, it’s not easy to break through freelance writing like it used to be five years ago – strategies that worked before may not work for you today.
And that’s why you need to take a different approach if you’re serious about succeeding with your freelance writing career.
What is one piece of advice everyone tells you when it comes to gaining more high paying clients?
Get testimonials from your happy clients and showcase them on your website.
Have you ever wondered how people get to the front pages of Behance, LinkedIn or even Tumblr for that matter? I’ve always been fascinated by freelancers who can seemingly pick who they want to work with from the number of messages they receive on the daily. What separates the greats from the rest of freelancers and bloggers who put just as much effort into their work? The answer to that question comes down to two simple words – personal branding.
Clients who find their freelancers online are rarely interested in the “you” you. Instead, they are interested in the image, personality and brand you create for your work.
You’ve tried crappy content mills, online job boards, and even cold emailing – but you’re still struggling to bring in more clients.
If you’re trying to jump into full-time freelancing, building a solid client base can be a steep challenge to overcome.
Constantly pitching to job boards can help, but relying on these tends to be unsustainable due to the constant effort it requires on your part.
