After all, experts have been predicting that the majority of the workforce will go freelance a long time now.
Does the thought of cold emailing potential clients making you cringe?
You’re not alone!

We juggle client work, marketing, sales calls, and so much more.
There is no doubt that more people than ever before in human history are becoming freelancers.

Congratulations! You have chosen ghostwriting as your freelance writing niche.
You recognize the many perks to this area of specialization, including the opportunity to learn about topics you never would have thought about, the ability to author books and other pieces while remaining in peaceful obscurity (not everyone wants to be famous), and the sizable income that’s possible to achieve as your career progresses.
As freelancers, we have many tools at our disposal we can use to market ourselves and our services.
A lot of these freelance marketing techniques are free, simple and quick to learn, and allow you to target your intended audience and customers.
There are over 57 million freelancers in the US alone.
If you are suddenly faced with working from home indefinitely, how can you ensure that you will actually make it and land a freelance job when there’s competition?
The world of freelancing is new for many people.
Most of us start out with a job and stay with that job for years. Or, we bounce around from one job to another, working for someone else.
So, when the thought about becoming a freelancer pops into your head, you’re bound to make silly or sometimes, stupid, mistakes at no fault of your own!
