How to Promote Yourself as a Freelance Writer

REBECCA SATO: Hi. I'm Rebecca Sato with ExpertVillage.com. We've just talked about how to market yourself and a lot of that is confidence and letting the prospective client know that you believe in yourself. You're a good writer, and you can definitely get the job done. Then there's the practical side of marketing which like how you'd actually get your name out there. Well, first of all, of course, it's publishing. If you get things, whether it's online or in print, people will see your name and that's great. But you can also do--a lot of people need to realize that being a freelance writer is like any other business. You could get yourself--you need to promote yourself and you need to let people know what your choices are. I would recommend go ahead and getting some business cards made. You're going to come across--I do this all the time--I come across people who ask what I do, and I say I'm a writer. And they tell me about how they need a writer and they know someone who needs a writer, and I hand them my business card and I've generated work from that. So that's something that you will always keep in mind is always have something professional that you can give someone so they know where to go to look at some of your writing samples. And a great place to go to have writing samples is your own Web site. So let's talk about that in just a minute. We'll go to that next.
