Are you just getting started with Freelance Writing?
One of the most exciting days of your freelance writing career is the first one. This is when you have finally decided to move to the next level and follow your dream. Although you are sure to be excited, day one only lasts so long. Soon enough you will be faced with marketing your services, dealing with clients, and deciding which moves to make next.
If you are just getting started with freelance writing, it is important to carefully consider each and every move that you make. Believe it or not, there are decisions I made on day one that still effect me today – fortunately, in a good way.
With so many people joining the freelance writing game, competition can be fierce. This may scare you a bit, but you should realize that there is enough room for everybody. To move to the top of the industry, you need to work hard, set goals, and have a plan for moving from one stage to the next. Over my time as a writer, I have found one thing to be true: those with a plan have a much better chance of success.
If you only remember one thing as a new freelance writer, this should be it: you are going to face both good and bad times. It is not about the number of successes and failures that you experience, but instead how you deal with them. Will you let one bad deal destroy your career? Or will you be resilient enough to stick it out over the long haul? You never know what a new day is going to bring; not all of them will be as exciting as the first one. As long as you have a plan and continue to grow, nothing will stop you from reaching all your goals.
