1.Expand your reach

If things aren’t

working out for you, Then what

you’re currently doing isn’t working.

It’s time to think differently

More importantly, it’s time to expand outwardly.

You need

to networ

k

You need to meet and get to know others

who can vouch for you when it comes to

securing more and higher paying clients.

Join a freelanceWriter’s communi

ty

Linkedin and

facebook...

Are excellent places to meet other like-minded professionals

Once you expand

your network, you’ll be

able to ask if any

companies are looking

for freelancers

.

You never know when a fellow freelancer

might be overloaded and looking to give away some extra

work.

Meet and greet with other professionals just like

yourself and you might just open up to a whole new world you never knew

existed.

2. Market Like It’s

Going Out of Style

If your current load of

work isn’t sustaining

you… Worrying about it isn’t going to pay your bills.

To keep yourself busy into

the future,

you need to market

your services

to everyone who will listen.

Word of mouth is an excellent way to

get the gears of change turning into your favor.

You are also encouraged to market

your services online.

Learn how to write content pitches and

send them to organizations who may be lacking something

you can provide.

You can use services like Manta and Hoovers

To determine

which companies are worth your time and that

might have the budgets

to sustain ongoing

work.

If you are a blogger...

Send out guest post requests to

your favorite blogs.

IF you’re an article writer...

Subscribe to the Writer’s Market to obtain the

contact information

for your favorite

publications.

Finally, and this is something very few freelancers do…

Ask for referrals after every

job is complete.

Upsell

Cross-Sell

And

The best clients to pitch your services are

the ones who are already happy with

your quality of work.

Use that to your

advantage to keep

your project

calendar full all week long.

A good rule of thumb

is...

If things aren’t

going as you’d hope,

spend as much time marketing

as you normally would on

client work.

Tony Robbins

is fond of saying, “Where

focus goes, energy flows.”

Market your services enough each day and you’ll soon be busier (and better-

paid) than you’d ever hope.

3. Raise Your Fees

Do you spend all day writing blogs and articles, web pages and sales copy, and still struggle with

bills?

That’s a good sign that your

fees are far too low!

Hopefully you’re not trying to

make ends meet by writing for content mills.

That’s a good way to stay

busy and end up broke.

Instead, find out

how much your fellow freelancers

are charging for the projects

you’re accustomed

to completing.

Those freelance writing communities we referred

to earlier are good places to ask about

going rates for blogs, web copy and other

projects.

You can also get going

rates from the Writer’s Market.

To raise your fees far

beyond the ones you’re

used to charging

requires you to do something

that’s not easy to do...

Believe in yourself.

You must have the confidence in yourself and your abilities, and you must communicate your worth to clients you work with.

You can double

or even triple

your fees for new clients you’re marketing your services to.

As Wayne Gretzky

once said,

“You miss 100% of the shots you don’t take.”

Take A Chance.

Trust in your training

and skills.

Eventually that one whale of a client will say, “Yes” to your

new fee demands.

If you can manage to

expand your reach and build a network of fellow

freelancers...

Market your services consistently.

Raise Your Fees.

You’ll never find yourself thinking about quitting that business ever again.

Every Long Journey BeginsWith a singlestep.

SO put the AboveTasks on your To-do List,

Work on these three points everyday.

Soon you’ll ever

wonder why you

ever considered resigning from this

dream business

in the first place.
