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).
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.
Every year around this time, I start thinking about two things at once: slowing down for the holidays and making sure my freelance writing business doesn’t fall apart while I do.
I’ve been freelance writing for more than a decade now (yes, I”m getting old!!!!), and in that time I’ve watched every “at the moment” method for landing freelance writing clients roll through the industry.
