#content writing freelancers

[femmefatalevibe]

Hey! I work as a freelance content writer/copywriter as well. I had to stop working because of academic pressure, but the pay in my country is peanuts, and I have always wanted to expand globally. I would really appreciate it if you could share some tips on how you started getting clients and how did you build your agency? Thanks!!

Hi love! Some high-level tips are below:

Intern/Apply to remote internships to get clips/experience

Create an Upwork account to get entry-level work/testimonials to get some client portfolio work and to help build your professional reputation

Always be on the lookout for leads, do your research, and craft a thoughtful/useful pitch for the client/publisher. Send work samples/share how you can help them. Follow up – remember rejection is part of the job, it's a numbers game

Start your own blog to show off your skills/build credibility in the writing world/your field

Save all of your quality-work to use in your portfolio. Always have a portfolio ready in PDF format and as a direct link that's mobile-friendly available when pitching clients

Utilize LinkedIn, your university connections, build your network, request informational interviews, and don't be shy to ask for letters of recommendation or referrals

When you do get a client whose honest and integral, show up and do your best work and submit it on time. If you can't for whatever reason, request an extension/notify them of the delay ahead of time

Perfect your craft, continuously read about your industry, and sharpen your skills. Show up with a business owner, not employee, mindset. This might be different when you're doing contract work for an agency where they might have their own contracts, set a budget, etc. But, when working with smaller, independent clients, ensure you have your rates, terms, general business practices, contracts (see a lawyer about this one), onboarding process, client questionnaire, payment method, etc., all set up for your client to acclimate to when you're ready to sign them. Remember, your clients are your customers, not your employers. It is a partnership, not an unequal power dynamic – you are the talent, not the direct report.

Hope this helps xx

Writing Intro! <3

Hi! I'm new to writeblr--while I'm here I'll probably post things I write for fun or events, if there are any.

I'm also trying to gain experience with writing content as well as copy so that I can become a freelance writer. I'm a student, so I want to help out with college tuition (and maybe start investing). I hope to surround myself with writers so that I can discover the topics I like, as I took a break from writing for a while. Some things that I have written in the past include Shakespearean sonnets, alternate endings, and short stories. I'm also well-versed in academic-style writing, such as essays like literary analyses, synthesis essays, rhetoric analyses, arguments, research papers, and responses to prompts.

I look forward to meeting new people and learning along the way!!!

EDIT: I recently released chapter one my WIP, so you can check it out here if you want!

this article about a lawyer and apparently known and respected amateur ecologist tracking down the habitat and proving the continued existence of a particular fish species was very enjoyable (i love any stories where a hobbyist gets to make a genuine contribution to the field) and also taught me about the existence of iEcology, in which researchers do shit like track migration patterns of marine species based on sightings in social media posts, which is soooooooo neat

I decided to set up an event with 60 questions. The first 30 are from a book edition ask game by @iknowitwontwork.

You might not be aware, but I have been working as a remote professional since 2018. I've rebranded my services and am open to new projects. Feel free to check out my current service offerings. ✨️

I can feel my heart shatter the room. I can feel the love rot out of my chest. Something broke so completely, it changed me. I’ve ran this scene so many times, what emotion do I have left to process? My love can rot and die in my chest, or I can love myself.

I’ve ran this blog for ten years. I’ve had many awesome people message me with words of encouragement that I still hold very close. After all this time, I want to believe I’m more.

Those two paragraphs were written a month ago. The day after he admitted he loves someone else (if she somehow found my blog, good luck with that lol). The day my childhood dog died, and just before my beloved cat’s health took another scary downturn. 

I got a freelance writing job a few days ago. My boyfriend can do what he wants but I’m not giving up on myself, no matter how many times he tells me he thinks I can’t do it. I can’t control what he does but I can control what I do. This is my chance. I’m spreading my wings and I am not stopping til I can live a life where I never have to rely on another cheating, lying, or abusive person ever again.

If you or anyone else you know needs a writer, I can help you! 

I have experience as both a writer in the healthcare, education, and travel niches. However, I’m very open to researching and writing a wide variety of topics. Please send me a message if you’re interested in working together. I’m not sure how active the freelance writing community is on Tumblr, but it’s worth a try. Thank you for reading this far. Thank you to everyone who has supported me on this blog, it means the absolute world to me.

They want it shittier

If you’re a freelance creative, or contracting, remember it’s your job to give the clients what they want — not something else you can do, even if you know it’s better.

It's not your job to talk them out of the shitty version.

Sometimes, they want the shitty version. Just take their money and give it to them. 💩

Save your breath (and your sanity) for your own creative work which you can make as high quality as you want.
