You’ve been pitching like mad. All you want is your first freelance writing job, that first client.
You’ve also spruced up your web copy and updated your freelance writing portfolio.
You check your email one last time and suddenly you see a response to a freelance writer pitch you sent. You can’t believe it. You read the email and see the prospective client is interested in your blog writing skills and wants you to start next week.
Have you landed your first freelance writing client and need to manage your projects?
Or, maybe you have several freelance fclients you’re trying to juggle, only to “lose your senses” when a client asks you to update a project you did three months ago?
Having a freelancing project management system isn’t a sexy topic. There’s no way you can make money from it and it actually can be a big time waste if you’re disorganized and don’t have a proper system in place for your projects.
These past couple weeks have been a whirlwind for my freelance writing business.
Not only am I working on a new comprehensive guide for freelance writing, but I launched a new free eCourse and a brand new site!
Oh, and don’t forget, I moved my blog! And if you’re a subscriber or regular reader of my blog, you might be thinking:
Raise your hand if you’re a work-at-home mom.
Having a hard learning how to write more for you writing jobs?
I’m writing this post as my twins are “napping” and it’s 2 pm. Aside from regularly updating my blog, I’m also a freelance writer.
Half the year is gone and I can say it’s been one huge ride!
In the first six months of this year my freelance writing has exploded. I doubled my rate from $50 per 500 words to $100 per 500 words.
I took on another blog, FreelancerFAQs, and am responsible for gathering guest contributors and managing the site.
Are you new to freelance writing and have no stinking clue how to snag a client?
Well, 12 top freelance writers are going to tell you their number one way for landing clients. You might be surprised by some of them, but all of them have worked hard to develop their writer platform and credibility as an expert in their field.
You can’t seem to figure it out:
You’re pitching daily, marketing your latest blog post on social media and you’re even approaching your clients for referral work.
You want to be a freelance writer.
And not just any writer, but a blog writer, a copywriter and even a ghostwriter.
It’s your first real break into freelance writing.
You’ve spent countless days, weeks and even months learning the ins and outs of getting paid to write.
Every spare minute is devoted to getting your little blogger butt ready for writing gigs.
I’ve been freelance writing for under a year now and thought I’d update you on all my new writing gigs.
About three months ago I did a similar post on where I’m writing and how I was able to pull it off (at that time I had 8 writing gigs).
