Succeed as a Freelancer

Write Your Own Ticket
Copywriting is one of the best freelancing gigs out there. Companies are willing to pay big bucks to retain talent, with new projects always coming down the pike.

As long as there’s advertising, there’s a need for great copywriting.

If you’re not a 9-5 kind of person or like the ability to work at your own pace, in your own zone, freelancing is a great opportunity.

To attract clients and succeed, make sure you’re setting yourself up right.

Here are a few tips to keep in mind:

• Have a website with examples of your finished work and testimonials from previous clients. Nothing proves your abilities like past successes.
  
  
• Start small and niche before you try to reel in a big fish. Cutting your teeth on small clients will get you comfortable with the freelancing mindset and lifestyle.
  
  
• Find your headspace and keep yourself focused. Working freelance isn’t a license to slack off—it’s your opportunity to make your own success.
  
  
• Get organized and stay organized in everything you do. Record projects, working hours, revisions and more. Document everything and have a filing system.
  
  

Most important of all: Stick to what you know and what you’re comfortable with!

Trying to do too much, writing for unfamiliar topics or overpromising will land you in hot water with clients.

Focus on building your reputation for quality and success will follow.
