When I first started freelance writing, there was room for us…. but now?
I still remember the day in 2014 when I wrote my very first client email pitch (after my horrible stint with content mills).
When I first started freelance writing, I spent way too much time worrying about my logo and brand colors.
As much as I’d love for clients to read my portfolio, look at my samples, and immediately say, “Perfect — you’re hired,” that’s not always what happens.
When I saw Karolina Assi’s post on LinkedIn, I was a bit surprised but not really though.
I’ve freelanced for more than a decade now, and I can still remember the first time I had to follow up on an unpaid invoice.
I didn’t know it at the time, but once my twins started going to school and I was already four years into freelance writing, something in my workday shifted.
My days were monotonous and sometimes just dragged on and on. I didn’t want my freelance writing business to be like that.
If you’re working as a freelance writer long enough, you’re going to run into a bad client.
