Freelance writing income can often be compared to a rollercoaster ride. One month your income is up and the next it is down. It’s a rollercoaster ride and one that more and more freelance writers want to get off.
Have you ever noticed what you do when your freelance writing income goes down? What you do when your client list decreases? What you do when you have no freelance writing jobs?
The answer to this is easy. You start marketing. You look for freelance writing jobs, you promote your services and you network with others. When work is short you start looking for it. What happens then is that all your hard work pays off and the next month your income is up.
Up and down, month after month, this is the rollercoaster ride for many freelancers. If you want to change this and stay on the up you need to pay attention. Have you ever noticed what happens when your freelance writing income is on the up? What do you do when you have plenty of clients and plenty of work?
You stop marketing, you stop promoting your services and you stop networking. This is what leads to your freelance writing income going down. If you continue to market, continue to promote and continue to network, even when you have lot of work, you will continue to keep your freelance writing income on the up.
Most people are afraid to do this, they are afraid of taking on too much and having too many clients. This doesn’t have to be the case you can always say no. You can always tell potential clients that you are tied up for the next couple of weeks but that you can book their project in after this. This is the key to a constant freelance writing income. By booking clients in advance you always have work. When potential clients realize how busy you are they know that you successful, they know that you are in great demand and they know that it is worth waiting until you can fit them in.
This really is the key to a great freelance writing income. Keep marketing, keep promoting and keep networking no matter how busy you are.
Take a look at your own freelance writing income. Are you on a rollercoaster ride? If so what are you going to do about it?
Until next time,
Keep Writing
