Do you REALLY want freelance writing jobs?
In the current economy you can get jobs easily. Just pick up the phone. Make 200 calls, and I promise you you’ll have enough writing jobs to keep you busy for six months.
As Finding Freelance Writing Jobs: Does Cold Calling Work? reports:
“Not Many Do It: Most freelance writers don’t cold call potential clients. Hence, it automatically gives those who do it a leg up. The freelancer I spoke with yesterday came from a nonprofit background, so she was used to cold calling – which serves her well.”
Cold calling always works, because:
* Businesses need to market, no matter what the economy
* Businesses are short-staffed, so they don’t have time to wade through 500 (mostly useless) responses to job postings
* It shows you’re serious about what you do. Editors and businesses get worn down by incompetent, unreliable “writers”. If you show creativity and innovation, they WANT to work with you
Important tips
* Write a small script first
* Ask to speak to the marketing manager
* Target businesses with over 50 employees (micro businesses are generally too small to need marketing/ writing help)
* Target advertising and graphic design agencies (not as profitable as working with clients directly)
* Sit down for a couple of hours and MAKE THE CALLS
* Understand that as a writer you have VALUABLE skills — most people can’t/ don’t want to write
* Expect to get jobs long after you’ve stopped calling
* Understand that when you take massive action (200 calls, remember) you get massive results
* Charge MORE than you think you should (you’re judged by how much you charge)
OK — what are you waiting for? Pick up the phone!
