Being The Perfect Freelance Writer

By Margaret Burgess


How to be the Perfect Freelance Writer

By paying close attention to the words and inferences of some who use freelance writers, then you will see that freelancers must be superhuman.

Below are the Top Ten Signs you Have Found a Perfect Freelance Writer

Working on my project is what they are never too busy to do. They are always efficient enough to have the project completed yesterday. They are willing to write for a fee less than the poverty level. They are also willing to provide unlimited rewrites. They are aware of the style of writing that you need. It seems that they do not have a personal life. They are knowledgeable about every subject known to man. They don't get sick. Also, they never expect prompt payment. When the boss is snippy, they like it.

Finding some truth to this list is possible if you are a freelance writer but as a freelancer, the burden of proof is on your shoulders. You do need to adopt a can-do attitude, but be honest enough to pass on a project if you are uncertain about the subject, deadline or volume of work.

The reason a good freelancer may seem superhuman is they have learned the value of follow-up, follow through, customer service and commitment.

All freelance writers have had clients that have more than likely been refused service from other freelancers. The problem with these clients is that they are not pleased with any work that they are presented with. They have an idea writer in mind, but sadly that writer does not exist.

In these cases, ending the relationship gracefully would be considered difficult. Perhaps you have provided numerous rewrites as well and the client remains dissatisfied. At this point, standing up toe the client and asking for payment or to be released from the obligation is what you may need to do.

Make sure that you try not to hesitate to ask for a brief testimonial you can use for the benefit of other customers who may be considering you as a means of reaching their content objectives when you do hear from satisfied customers.

You can learn new skills as you stretch your wings. Specializing in one type of service is a good freelancer but it is adaptable enough to facilitate new writing formats when you need them. The more you learn about freelancing the more marketable your skills will be.
