Here we go into DAY 7!
You did it! You hopefully have been able to discover
- Why you want to start a freelance writing business
- When you will start your freelance writing business
- The Types of Writing health writers do – and choosing yours
- How to structure a blog post for clients and steps to become a content specialist
And today
- Who you want to write for
Don’t be Superwriter.
We call the people who try to do it all a generalist. Generalists often think they can write anything. This might be true, but companies don’t want the generalist. When trying to figure out your freelance writing niche, think about what clients are willing to pay for, and what you enjoy writing about.
After you discover your freelance writing niche, it’s time to make it visible. You can put it all over social profiles like your LinkedIn and Twitter, but don’t ignore your website and your email signature.
Think about:
· What area do I work in (that I actually like)
· What hobbies do I have outside of work?
· What am I curious about?
· What work have I done in the past?
Clients to pitch
