You think it’s super easy.
I mean, all you have to do is write something about yourself and put it on your About page. Out of all the pages you have to write for your writer website, this should be no problem.
Well, if you’re a freelance writer wanting to score some writing gigs, you are making a classic rookie mistake when it comes to your website copy.
March has been a great month for my business. I thought I’d let my readers know a little bit about how my writing business is going.
This year started off with a bang! I launched my new writer website design and immediately received queries for my writing. While not every query landed a writing job, it did confirm that my inbound marketing tactics were working.
You slave away at writing the perfect guest post for a very popular website.
You can’t believe they accepted your pitch, but you push your excitement aside and get busy writing.
When the last sentence is done, you press save and take a deep breath, thinking you are all done – but you’re not.
Listen up bloggers and freelance writers, it isn’t enough anymore to just have good content on your blog.
Don’t get me wrong – having a well-written, interesting and engaging blog post is important, but it isn’t enough.
No, what you want is for people to notice your post. You want them to click on the link, and if they can get past your headline and read your post, they might even think about it, tweet it, bookmark it, share it and pin it.
Your blog isn’t doing you any good if no one’s reading it. So, how can you make people notice your blog post?
Raise your hand if you have a Pinterest account, but never use it?
Now raise your hand if you’ve known Pinterest is a strong visual marketing tool to drive traffic to your site, yet fail to use it for your business?
Clients! That’s what you want!
You want to build your client base as a brand new freelance writer and you don’t know how.
Well, what if I told you I know the secret to growing a client base as a complete beginner?
This one thing has helped me land multiple clients, securing high-paying client base that I can tap into any month of the year.
And this meant in a couple short months I went from newbie writer to a booked writer with an amazing client base.
Welcome back to Confessions of a Freelance Writer! This will be the last post in my series. I truly enjoyed learning about each freelance writer that has either helped me or inspired me in my freelance writing business.
Confessions of a Freelance Writer asks the personal questions that every writer wants to know. For today’s Confessions, I interviewed Ariel Rule.
Ariel is someone I learned about recently. I’m part of a group of fabulous webpreneurs in which we root each other on, give practical advice and help each others businesses grow. Ariel is apart of this group of ladies.
If you’re a freelance writer, then I’m sure you’ve heard of Lauren Tharp. She has indispensable advice for writers and her blog has even won her awards.
Let me just say, I’m excited about this next freelance writer and blogger for this series.
Lorraine Reguly is the first freelance writer I have met IRL, and it was by complete surprise.
