As freelance writers, we all know the freelance writing gig that are easy yeses.
Cold emailing is one of the very first skills I had to figure out when I became a freelance writer.
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.
