Take Your Freelance Career To The Next Level

Maybe you began freelancing 6 months ago or 3 years ago. However long it’s been, maybe it’s time to take your writing to the next level. Take these steps to keep your career moving forward:

1. Submit to higher paying markets
When you first started sending out your work, to build up your clips, you had no problem submitting to markets that paid just a few cents a word. Once you do have those clips to show as examples of your work and experience, you should start aiming for higher paying markets. You don’t have to jump from 3 cents/word to $1/word, but little by little.

2. Don’t be shy
Sometimes you just have to e-mail an editor and ask if she is looking for anything specific or to introduce yourself and your writing. You can certainly open yourself up to a lot of opportunities this way.

3. Write longer pieces
You might be comfortable writing fillers and other pieces under 1,000 words, but to make more money and get more assignments, you also want to write the occasional longer piece. If you find it too difficult or too much pressure to go from writing 700 words to 1,000 words, start small by increasing your goal by 100 words at a time.

4. Learn to ask for more money
Just because guidelines specify an amount paid per word or per article, it’s not set in stone. Especially if you’ve worked for an editor a number of times you should feel free to ask for more money. The worst that can happen is you’re told it can’t be done. But if you don’t ask, you’ll never know.
