20 Best Ways To Get Freelance Writing Clients (Assignments) : Part 1

Information is flooding everywhere. You just type a single keyword and you will get millions of results. This will help you understand the scope of writing and of freelance writers. By this, I do not mean to mention that any 'this or that' sort of so-called writer can make a good career, not at all. Like any other field, Writing also needs quality writers like you.

Considering the number of quality writers present around, it becomes very important for each of us to have a good number of clients who will give us work. They have options, so they need a reason from you to hire you for their services. The reason will definitely have to be created by you, isn't it? (Your quality content and unique writing style)

Let me help you with 20 best experimented and well-researched ways to get freelance writing clients.

1. Write For Top Bloggers

This is something which will rarely be advertised properly. There are a lot of top bloggers who pay for a quality content written for their blog. 

How do I know whether they pay? You will surely see this mentioned somewhere on their blog. You will have to spend few minutes on it to understand this. If it is not mentioned anywhere and you want to give it a try, drop an email (you will find it mentioned in 'Contact Us' or something like this) asking if they are looking for paid blogger. No one will kill you for that.

Why do they need this? Nice question! I am sure you might be thinking that the top bloggers already have many people ready to write as a guest blogger for free, then why would they need to pay someone for the same. Logically, you are right, but practically not. Having many interested guest bloggers will not guarantee the quality content. With the increasing number of promotion-hungry bloggers, it becomes very difficult for the top bloggers to moderate each and every post and to check on the quality. They would rather get free from this headache by offering financial benefits to quality contributors. It will not be wrong to mention that financial benefits will make you more serious towards writing quality content. 

How much do they pay? It is all case-specific. Some of the top bloggers can pay up to $80 for each quality post, whereas there are some who can pay $5 for the same. You need to take care of the fact that you cannot be greedy specially when you have just started it. Remember that it takes time, you cannot do it overnight.

2. Google It

Am I kidding? I know that you know this very well. Not many bloggers will use Google properly to search for writing clients. You need to search with different keywords and various combinations of it. Google make things very easy when you want to look for anything. It is not humanly possible for anyone to search for their requirement in a specific website.

Some of the most used keywords while looking for writing clients include "guest blogger wanted", "freelance writer wanted", "article writer wanted", "quality writer wanted", "paid writer wanted". Google It now.

3. Get Referred By Other Blogger Friends

Why will anyone refer you when everyone is racing to get more and more work? It does not work this way. When I started blogging, the first thing which happened accidentally was to get in touch with other bloggers. We exchanged some emails, over Skype calls, and we got kind of friends. Perfect networking, I say.

Though my only intention to network with them was to learn some more about blogging and various areas which can be covered (I was zero in Blogging). After some days of being in good network with those bloggers, one of them emailed me to know my interest in writing for one of his clients. She was not able to take that assignment as she was over packed with work from other clients. She decided to passed it on to me, I happily took it, completed it with lot of nervousness (since it was my first paid assignment), and found that client was delighted with my work.

That ways I had one client in my kitty who could give me more work. A simple networking worked for me. Try it as it might work for you too.

4. Sell Yourself On Your Blog

I know that you have been working day and night to promote your blog/website. Some of you have already started getting good results after implementing some very important suggestions posted earlier on Make A Living Writing. Why not you use a special corner on your website to promote yourself. Convey to all your readers that they can hire you for any required services. When they know it, there are more chances to get hired. Isn't it?

Things That Bloggers Need To Do To Make Money Blogging

I swear I will never spam/bore you with anything here. This post is not limited only for Bloggers.

I hope you have checked the previous post 101 best websites for you to make money writing and 36 advertisement publishing websites and have registered for few which fits you the best. 

As rightly said that making money from Blogging is not an overnight thing. I have seen people earning some cents or single figured dollars ever since they started blogging, but do not assume the same for you. Many people have already set loyal readers on Facebook, Twitter, or other social networking websites. If you don't have that set-base for you, no worries at all. 

If you are reading this post, I am assuming that you already have a Blog registered (If not, BOOKMARK this blog and create your right away). Not sure how to create, what to create, how to name, when to post, or have hundred other questions? Calm down and wait for a Bonus Post "10 Things Which Will Not Make You A Stupid Beginner In Blogging" to be posted within 24 hours.

So, all you serious bloggers who just can't wait to start making good money Blogging, check out below things which are very important:

1. Very Much Possible : I started blogging in 2008 with first two posts copied from some other blogs, simply copied. That was surely a bad start in Blogging, forget about making money. But then, when I started understanding what Blogging is really like, I started blogging with my own, very own posts on Self-development. I did try hundred of things to start making some money out of my blog. I came across several scams, lost personal savings, but after all that I had faith that it is possible to make money blogging. There were 50+ things which I did to make my blog/website popular so as to get a good traffic which I am going to share with you all in a future post. All those things started getting me good traffic and my linked Adsense gave me $513 in the first month. So, believing that 'It is possible' is the very important. Do not lose hope as it will happen.

2. Money Ways : You heard of Adsense and linked your Blog with it to make money? Don't tell me that it was the only option with you. That is one of the most common thing I have heard from hundreds of bloggers. Remember, there is no one way to earn money from your blog. Have a look at the below image to see the number of options you have. Details required? Post your question in the comment below and have it answered.

3. Follow That Master : So you think you have got all those great ideas? No! No! You are not right here. Following successful is not a shameful thing until you are not wasting your time and getting some great results. There will be many things which other good bloggers might start doing to make it look better, or to earn more money. See it, Understand it, Accept it, Earn it (only if it's worth).

4. Under That : You cannot just blog about anything around you. People do not like that because they do not get complete thing when you do not have a focus on something specific. Make your own niche and stick to it.

5. Give It Some More Time : "I have posted a new post tonight. I am gonna sleep now and would want to see some hundred dollars earning by morning". Most of the bloggers who have been earning in six figures every year, have been blogging for more than 3 years or more. This was not to disappoint you, just to give you extra motivation to do better. My suggestion would be to start another blog and run it parallel.

6. Hard Work Smart Work : Making Money from your blog would require you to work on it; work should not be hard, it should be smart. For example, if you are working on link building technique to promote your blog, you just cannot start doing it on every single website/blog. If you focus on a specific niche, then it will fetch better results for you. That's gonna be smart work.

7. Join Blog Networks : If you do not post much on your personal blog, then joining Blog Networks makes a lot of sense for you. There are plenty of Blog Networks available on the internet kingdom. Need a list for better use? You will have it from me in few days. You may earn $1500 to $4500 every month blogging for these networks.

8. That's What Works For Me : I have seen people who will look at other's blog, love the theme/concept, create their own blog on the same theme/concept, and expect to be making money from it. Originality pays a lot. Having multiple blogs on the same thing is too irritating for a reader. It may take you some time to realize what works for you, or what you are good at, but trust me when you realize that, it works the best for you. Think on it.

There might be other possible things which might be useful for you to make more money, but these are the MUST ones. Do not think that it can be done in an overnight. It will definitely require your dedication and time. Working with specific tools is always better than working blindly.
