Did any of you wonder what happened to me for a long time? I got caught in a web of writing jobs. I can hear all you freelancers wishing to get caught in a web like that – right?
It was actually very simple and easy. I did just two small things and that has made a huge difference in my life. Try it out and it might work for you too…
(1)
START A WEBSITE
I started a simple website, posted my resume, a few of my published pieces in academics, fiction and non-fiction. This has made a wealth of difference. It makes me look very professional and experienced. It also helps people looking for freelance writers from any corner of the world locate me more easily.

POST YOUR RESUME ON JOBSITES
Prepare a killer resume! No time? Please, don’t give such excuses! If you want something, you have to go behind it – beg, plead, cry or kick but bring it back with you! So, if you want a job (especially, a freelance writing job!), you have to relentlessly pursue it. Only then it may decide to grace you with an appearance.
Next, post your resume on a few job sites. Now, sit back and relax. The jobs are going to come knocking on your doors. Just what happened to me! In fact, the last few weeks I have been turning down more offers as the workload is already piling up! I have even started working late nights.
Try to follow these two simple steps and tell me how you fared. GOOD LUCK!
Great Write up. But have you tried this site? I think it offers better returns for the freelancer.
Best Regards
