10 Freelance Writing Strategies

1. Create a Freelancer Writer Website to Instantly Establish Your Credibility
2. Pitch like crazy! If you want to make more money as a writer, you need to get more clients. 
3. Network, Network, Network! Attend free conferences, meet ups in your writing niche or seminars and start making introductions. 
4. Ask for referrals. Leverage existing clients and ask them quarterly if they know anyone in their circle who is looking for a content writer. 
5. Increase your rates or even double your rates. This may seem scary at first, but most clients won't even blink at the higher price tag. 
6. Don't be afraid to drop clients. If they don't value your time or aren't paying on time, it's time to let them go. 
7. Master SEO. If your clients rank high in Google, they will becoming repeat customers! 
8. Write about what you love. Focusing on topics you love will make writing more manageable each month! The last thing you want is to feel like writing is just as bad as that 9 to 5 job you left. 
9. Avoid complacency. Set income goals, pitch goals, client goals and daily goals so you can keep scaling your business!
10. Write in a second niche. It only needs to make up 20-30% of your income, but when you pick a niche that is a hobby or a passion it won't feel like work and will be fun!
