Do you know how to write a pitch?
I know it can seem a bit tedious at times, but I tell my course students that knowing how to write a good pitch is the best way to quickly land consistent and decent paying jobs.
It’s how I first got started with freelance writing.
Are you pulling your hair out because you just don’t get it?
You’re a new freelance writer so you know you have to hustle to land that first client.
You know you need samples, so you got to it early on.
Are you a new freelance writer struggling to find a writing gig that actually pays?
You ask, how do I start freelancing and get freelance clients?
Or, are you stuck working for pennies and want out?
I still remember the day in 2014 when I wrote my very first client email pitch (after my horrible stint with content mills).
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.
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.
If you’re working as a freelance writer long enough, you’re going to run into a bad client.
You’ve decided to go after freelance writing but you have no idea how to land writing jobs that actually pay.
