Recession?! Not for freelancers…

As I said in this week’s Fab Freelance Writing Ezine, a recession is a great time to be a writer, because there are more writing jobs.

Angela Hoy agrees.

She saysWhat Recession?! Plenty of Freelance Jobs for Writers! By Angela Hoy:

“So, folks, while CNN and Fox News may be scaring the bejeebers out of you each night (that does result in ratings, after all!), I suggest turning off the TV and turning on your PC. Crank out those query letters and resumes (for the corporate writing jobs). Things are looking pretty good in the freelance writing industry right now! Just be sure to Google the name of any company you plan to work with before signing a contract (in case they’re a jerk or a deadbeat) and, if it’s a large, ongoing project, request a percentage of the fees up front. “

Every professional writer I know is busy, busy, busy. There are more jobs than writers to accept them.

Read my editorial in the ezine again, for more tips on how to make the most of the current economic situation.

And as Angela says, for heaven’s sake turn off your TV set, and start tapping your keyboard. You’ve got great opportunities now, as companies try to save money and switch to using freelancers.

Happy writing… and happy making money.

(BTW,the project I’ve been working on for the past couple of months, Info Product Maestro, is now online. I’ll be formally launching it next week. Go and have a sneak peek now. )
