For Writers: How to Land Your Dream Clients 🤝

On finding & signing with your ideal freelancing clients... 🤔🤭

When I searched for clients as a new freelancer, I went through a long period of trial and error. Admittedly, I even cried a few times while I struggled to figure out a doable process that would actually work for me. 😅 I had a big freelancing dream, and I knew I was capable of achieving it. But during my four years of college, I never took a marketing or sales class. I never studied up on how to find people to write for. Frankly, I had absolutely no idea where to start.

For me, the task of finding clients was scary and overwhelming.

Now that I have a good deal of practice under my belt, finding my ideal clients isn’t nearly as difficult. I have finally found my process, and I have finally gained the referral traction that you have to build manually as a newbie. This week, I’m super excited to share some of my best tips for writers on finding and signing with your dream clients.

I want to help you avoid the pain and suffering that I went through as a new freelancer, because I know how it feels to believe in yourself but have absolutely no clue how to sell your skills!

This is the first post I’ve ever released “for paid subscribers,” but don’t worry - you can still claim the full post for free as a gift from me. 🫶🏻 I wanted you lovely people to have this info for free, but I also spent hours researching, learning, failing, and succeeding to get to the point where I feel confident enough to give helpful advice on this topic. So this is my compromise: you can claim the whole post for free to see what type of tips you’ll get moving forward with a paid subscription to The Ghost Post. 😁
