Be That Perfect Freelance Writer

By Margaret Burgess


How to be the Perfect Freelance Writer

If you pay close attention to the words and inferences of some who use freelance writers you will see that freelancers must be superhuman.

The Top Ten Signs you Have Found a Perfect Freelance Writer

They would always have time to work on my project. You will notice that they are always efficient enough to have the project completed yesterday. Even if the fee is less than poverty level, they are still willing to write. They are willing to provide unlimited rewrites. They always know exactly the style of writing you need. You notice that they don't have a personal life. Every subject known to man is what they are knowledgeable about. They are always well and never get sick. They never expect prompt payment. They like it when the boss is snippy.

Being a freelance writer means you may find some truth to this list but resting on your shoulders is the burden of proof as a freelancer. It's important that you are honest enough to pass on a project if you are uncertain about the subject, deadline or volume of work even though you do need to adopt a can-do attitude.

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

Clients that have more than likely been refused service from other freelancers are what all freelance writers have had. These clients refused to be pleased with any work they are presented with. In their mind, they have an idea writer but sadly, the writer does not exist.

It is difficult to end the relationship gracefully in these cases. It is also possible that you have provided numerous rewrites and the client remains dissatisfied. If this happens, then you may be required to stand up to the client and ask for payment or be released from the obligation.

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 stretch your wings and learn new skills. A good freelancer may specialize in one type of service, but is adaptable enough to facilitate new writing formats when needed. As long as you learn more about freelancing, then the more marketable your skills will be.
