Most people you know are probable involved in conventional forms of employment. This means that they most likely work from 9 in the morning until 5 in the afternoon and endure traffic during both the morning and evening commutes. This is a difficult life to live and the only reward is retirement at the end of it. If you want something different, here are some tips that can set you onto the right track:
One of the reasons that many freelancers find themselves making almost no money at all is that they lack marketable skills. Most adults are literate so almost everyone could potentially be your competition if all you offer is the ability to write. Make sure that you can write clearly and concisely when that is needed and can add some flavor to what you do at the appropriate moments.
If you are desperate to make ends meet and the rent is due it can be tempting to take on some of the lower paying jobs. This is a mistake. Once you start it can be easy to get pigeon holed as that type of writer. High paying jobs attract others and once clients see you as that type of writer they will benefit from hiring they will seek you out whenever jobs are available. You will not even have to search for jobs anymore.
Some clients are horrible. They demand the impossible and want to pay you nothing or close to it in exchange. The best way to avoid them is to look at the reviews their previous clients have left.
When you operate online, you need to show people in real time why you are worthy of being hired. Clients want to develop a relationship with you. Show them your best work compiled as a portfolio and they can start seeing you as worthy of their attention.
There will always be other freelancers who want to take the success that you have acquired. If you are careful you can always remain just one step ahead.
