How to Become a Successful Freelance Writer

Freelancing Success Mantras

There was a time, long ago, when the concept of ‘freelancing’ was non-existent and the word ‘freelance’ held no value in the competitive world of full-time jobs.

A lot of people did not understand what a freelancer does and believed that freelancers were nothing more than a new category of individuals who worked at their free will and used a fancy title to describe themselves.

Freelancing and freelance writers have come a long way since then.

Slowly, but surely, professional freelancers are making their presence felt in the field of content writing, design, and consultancy, etc.

A FREELANCE WRITER’S MANTRA FOR SUCCESS

As in any profession, freelance writing too demands a certain level of commitment, hard work, and determination to succeed and grow.

Here are some simple guidelines you can follow to create a strong space for yourself in the competitive world of freelancing and become a successful freelance writer.

#1: Identify Your Forte / Niche

Don’t be a ‘Jack of All Trades and a Master of None!’ 

There are people who like to believe that they can handle just about anything and everything when it comes to writing.

In reality, the more specific you are about your niche, the better are your chances to become successful in freelance writing.

Spend some time to identify your niche area and once you know what you excel at, it’s time to focus on it.

Your specialization can range from technical writing, research writing, ghostwriting, or business proposal writing. You can also select an industry you would like to specialize in such as travel, medical, electronics, e-commerce or wellness, etc.

When you start concentrating on what you do best and enjoy the most, you’ll start reaching newer heights in your freelance profession. 

#2: Don’t Be Afraid To Say No

Realize what you can and cannot do.

Most freelance writers would agree that it is exciting and encouraging to get a content writing inquiry. However, it is also difficult to decide whether you can handle a project and whether or not you would like to take it up?”

If you feel that you cannot do full justice to a particular project, it is okay to say ‘No’. In fact, it is sometimes better to say no than to struggle with a topic or project that you’re not cut out for.

Take, for example, technical writing. If you do not have an interest in writing about technical subjects, you should concentrate on building your portfolio around other topics and niches that you can excel at.

The last thing a freelancer needs is to accept a project just because they’re afraid to say no.

#3: Be Professional

Work out your terms and conditions and stick by them.

Whether you are new to freelance writing or you have already established yourself as a Successful Freelance Writer, it helps to be professional. Be clear on your terms and conditions regarding payments, timeframes and other important details.

Clients appreciate freelancers who are professional and are upfront with their terms of service.

#4: Don’t Be Afraid To Ask Questions

Ask intelligent questions and clear doubts

No matter what stage of the project you are in, don’t shy away from clearing your doubts.

If you are unsure about something, spend a little time to draft your questions and try to get detailed answers from your client. This will save time and a lot of unnecessary rework along the way.

At all times, make sure that you and your freelance writing client are on the same page.

#5: Respect Deadlines / Timeframes

Honor Your Commitments 

One of the main reasons why some companies, organizations, and clients are paranoid about hiring freelance writers is because they fail to honour their commitments.

To be successful in this field, make sure that you respect the deadlines and timeframes set for you by your client.

Be clear about the amount of time you need to finish a certain project and let them know before you begin. Timely delivery of work will keep your clients happy and appreciative.

The association between an organization and a freelance writer can be quite rewarding provided that both parties involved work professionally and respect each other.

To build a flourishing freelance writing career and become a reputed freelance writer, try these 5 mantras of success today!

    The article topics given to them were difficult as they were about North East India. Generally, North East is still hidden from the Indian masses. So as a website, we are trying to bring out the region from a tourist angle. I feel really happy that contentwriter.in has justified all the topics repeatedly, covering all the states. They have become an inseparable part of our future content also. My good wishes to the team. ~ Tripura, India ~
