8/15 Freelance Writing Jobs Newsletter

Hi ,

It’s that time again! Welcome back.

As promised, here are the results from last week’s survey…

Thank you to everyone who voted and to those who responded with comments. Beehiv doesn’t provide an easy way for me to respond to poll comments, but I read them all.

I’d say it’s definitely a time to stay on your toes, even if your books are full at the moment. For me, that means ensuring all my “storefronts” are up to date and optimized, staying top of mind with a steady dripline of content, and regularly reaching out to clients that fit my ideal client profile (or otherwise sound like a good fit).

When it comes to marketing on social, one thing that helps me is reminding myself…it’s not about any one post taking off. What’s important is staying top of mind for a specific thing over time.

P.S. Have you landed a gig from this email? Reply and let me know! I’d love to hear all about it (and share your story if you’re open to it).

Reminder: If the gigs shared have posted rates, they must be above $100 per project, $25/per hour, or $0.10 per word. If you get offered less than that, please let me know. Also, gigs are vetted according to a variety of factors. For example, posters can’t ask for unpaid tests, pay for “exposure,” or have a public history of not paying freelancers. If you encounter problems of any sort from a company shared here, please let me know and I’ll add them to my blacklist.

PS I’m heading to my first in-person business development conference this weekend. I’m excited to mingle with fellow entrepreneurs in a beautiful setting and learn from a lineup of awesome speakers. Stay tuned next week for my biggest takeaways.
