Freelance Writing Job Tip of the Week

If today is any indication, it’s that you have to make your own work. Relying solely on job postings doesn’t encapsulate even HALF the work you could be getting. Do you ask your friends? Do you have an online portfolio? Do you use LinkedIn? Do you cold call? Do you get out of the house and go to parties? Do you network? There’s a lot of things you can be doing. When times are slow like this, you have to make your own work. There’s tons of money out there to be made. You just need to get inventive.
