[Editorial] Creating Your Own Freelance Job Opportunities For 2008 And Beyond

Hi again! Hope you’re having a great writing week. This week’s issue is about job opportunities for freelance writers.

Job opportunities for freelance writers are everywhere you look, and in this week’s article (scroll down) I cover three of them. Choose one (or work with them all), and within a day or two - within hours, if you’ll pick up the phone - you’ll have enough writing gigs to keep you busy for months.

Now, let’s think about 2008, and creating your best year ever.

Start To Line Up Projects For 2008 Now By Planning Your Success

As a freelance writer, you’ve got complete freedom. You can write what YOU want to write, and you should always have a few “dream” gigs that you’re fishing for. Don’t settle for crummy jobs.

We’re almost half way through 2007, so it’s time to think about what you REALLY want to write in 2008, and 2009. Once you’ve decided, you can create your own freelance job opportunities.

How To Create Your Own Freelance Job Opportunities

Here’s the process, step by step:

1. Target. What do you want to write? You need to be specific here. Write down the magazine, the Web site, the exact publisher or literary agent you want to write for, or in the case of agents, work with. If you’re into Web publishing, write down a new site’s niche and the monetisation possibilities.

2. Establish a relationship. I always tell my writing students that sending out proposals and queries is about relationships, it’s not about making sales. The people with whom you want to work get to know you via the introductions and queries you send, over time. So start to build a relationship with your targets.

If you’re building a site OTOH, there’s no one to build a relationship with until your site is live… so research the niche. Find out who your competitors will be, and what advertisers are spending money in the niche. Contact some of the advertisers. Ask questions.

TIP: If you’re a Web publisher, or want to be, keep something in mind - SILENCE. Don’t talk about your plans. If you’ve found a niche with great money-making potential, shush! Some people live to snatch niches from others, and if they throw up a site before you do, you’ll be an also-ran.

Build your site now, fast. See my new site-building ebook package, “Super-Fast Money-Making Web Sites For Writers: Join The Web-Publishing Bonanza”.

Never, ever talk about your niches.

3. Keep building the relationship until you get the response you want. Since you’re starting out in mid-2007, you’ll get your responses before 2008.

Those three steps are all it takes. They’re highly effective. If you put them into practice, you’ll be more successful than 95 per cent of freelancers who never plan.

Good luck for 2008.

Happy writing.

Affectionately,

Angela

Essentially, copywriters write for businesses. A copywriter can write anything from advertising and sales letters, to operating manuals. Every business needs a copywriter, and most of those businesses are in your own backyard. Getting great copywriting gigs as is simple as calling a few businesses, plus some advertising agencies, in your own city.
