Being a freelance writer in Atlanta, particularly
focusing on business and web writing, is initially a tough trade. You have to
be great at what you do in order to continue doing it! How so? Please read-on.
Writers have notoriously small budgets for advertising or
anything else; thus, in the 21st Century we freelance writers must
rely upon the World Wide Web (blogs, websites, expert articles, social media,
etc) to garner visibility and business.
When a client needing web content or search engine
optimization (seo) work contacts me, their locating me is my best endorsement!
Of all the freelance writers around the nation and the world, I was able to
stand-out and be found in their search via Google, Bing, or whatever search
engine they used.
My standard line when asked if I am a good web content
writer is, “You found me, didn’t you?” But, that is web writing. Often-times
business writing or resume writing requires a bit more convincing.
In cases of potential clients needing samples, I
basically direct them to my blogs, website, and social media pieces. Providing
writing samples for business plans, business proposals, resumes, letters, and
other somewhat sensitive projects is near-impossible. As writers, we cannot
share confidential info and data. That would be a betrayal.
To a great extent, we freelancers spend our time finding
clients. The writing is easy; even web writing and seo work. It comes natural.
Indeed, constant marketing of ourselves to try and pay rent and bills is the
main task, and killer of our time.
