Freelance Tips - Freelance Writing, Freelance Jobs

Never Let the Dust Settle

July 17th 2008 14:00
Even when work seems overwhelming or like it is going to last forever, it is important for freelance writers to keep themselves in the game on a daily basis. Because there are so many writers new to the market subscribed to this blog, this post will contain what a lot of seasoned writers can chalk up as a review.

1: Send resumes and clips out to prospective clients daily.

2: Participate in social networks like LinkdIn.com and keep profiles updated.
3: Add conversations, tips, and advice to forums.
4: Respond to ads listed on writing boards and in newsletters.
5: Stay in touch with clients and jobs from the past.

Remember, if your clips and resume goes out daily, it has to be up to date information. Sending clips from 1998 might work if you're targeting a specific niche and that's all you have on hand . . . but there's no excuse for an out of date resume.

How do you keep yourself out there? Do you feel secure or does marketing daily keep that safety net in place? What tips do you have to offer new writers?
