Are you trawling through endless “freelance” sites desperately looking for writing jobs when you should be writing?

STOP IT!

Here’s a technique which works.

3 Fast And Easy Ways To Make Money suggests:

“Instead, take the higher road and sacrifice your early profits. First, read what their website or blog is about. Try to get a feel for their style of communication. Then, write the most amazing article you could possibly imagine that would blow away their readers. Finally, GIVE THE ARTICLE TO THE WEBSITE OWNER FOR FREE.”

Here’s what will happen when you do this:

1. You’ll get paid for your article. People feel obligated. If they like the article and want to use it, they’ll pay, even though you haven’t asked.

2. They’ll remember you, and will use you again, and will pass your name on to others.

How do I know it works?

Because it’s worked for me, when I wanted to get my foot in the door writing for a particular client, and it’s worked for other writers too.

It works. So do it, if you want to write and get paid to write.
