Your initial freelance writing assignments are the best way to
present yourself to your client for repeated work. If you
provide for them a good product, at a good price, they are
likely to come back time and time again. The goal of any career,
particularly as a freelancer, is to have steady business.
Instead of continually needing new clients or another job to
fill your day, why not utilize repeat business? When you make
the most of your freelancing time you are helping yourself to
gain more business and maintain that which you already have.
For many people getting that first job is the key to success. It
is the hardest part of working because more and more people want
quality providers and want to use someone who is proven and
worth the risk. You cannot get these jobs if you are new. But
look at it another way. When you do get to that point, it is
important to make the most out of all assignments so that you
get return business from that client. This could be any number
of things, but should always focus on maintaining a strong
working relationship with the client. Providing them with good
work, timely work, and listening and meeting their needs will
have them coming back to you time and time again.
There is another, even more important, reason to build your
business like this. That is referrals. When you do an
outstanding job for people, they return time and time again with
more business. But, they also tell people about your talents.
This can be an outstanding way to use the jobs you get to create
more jobs for yourself.
Now, that is not to say that you can not search for new writing
job vacancies in other realms as well. But, you must strive to
maintain the employment that you already have. By building
strong relationships with your clients, you can help them
continuously meet their needs while building your business.
