I have a confession.
I thought, if I wanted to land a freelance writing client, I had to spend hours cold pitching.
When I first started freelance writing, I spent a lot of time thinking about my writing samples.
If you spend any time on LinkedIn, you already know there’s one debate that never seems to die: when you should pitch after someone accepts your connection request.
Over on my Youtube channel, I posted a couple of videos on different websites that pay you to write.
The websites I showed were paying two hundred dollars to three hundred dollars and upwards of five hundred dollars to guest post.
Yikes!
You know that after you send your first writing pitch, you can call yourself a freelance writer, and this thought is making you have doubts.
I’m not a writer, you say to yourself.
Are your writing freelance writing pitches getting ignored?
You know you are the right person for the writing job, but your never hear back from the businesses you pitched to!
How do you get your freelance pitch to translate into a profitable writing job?
Are you a new freelance writer?
One of the initial fears most newbies have is pitching. This is a big step for a lot of new freelance writers.
This means they can get hired potentially! But, for many, writers think this can mean failure. A potential client comes back saying that your writing is horrible.
You’re almost there;
You searched for freelance writing jobs, found a great ad and you’re ready to send that pitch.
But, wait.
