Freelance Writing: Angela Booth Reveals the Top Ten Ways for Writers to Get Hired
Many freelance writers spend hours each week searching for writing jobs. Top copywriter and writing teacher Angela Booth believes that there are more powerful and effective ways for writers to get the jobs they want.
Online, October 11, 2010 (Newswire.com) - One of the challenges of freelance writing is generating a constant supply of new projects, and a steadily increasing income. Top copywriter and writing teacher Angela Booth believes that most writers spend too much time hunting for writing jobs. This is time that writers should spend writing.
Angela says: "The best gigs are never advertised. The ones which are advertised are low-paying jobs for beginners."
Inexperienced writers fail to realize this, and believe that low-paying projects are the norm. This is far from the case. Professional writers avoid job advertisements because they know they're targeted at beginning writers.
Angela's "Top 10 Ways to Get Hired" list offers easy suggestions which writers can put into practice immediately.
They include:
* "Get Hired by Networking With Other Writers" -- Angela believes that writers need a personal network not only for support, but also so that the group can take on larger projects; and
* "Get Hired by Getting Creative" -- Angela believes writers need to value their own creativity, rather than imagining that there are specific "rules" which they should be following.
Angela says: "Editors and other buyers of writing services value creativity. I've seen writers make more income in one week than they made in the previous year, when they began using their own creativity, instead of following imaginary rules."
Here is the complete list of the "Top 10 Ways to Get Hired".
Angela will be providing more detail on the methods on the list to readers of her freelance writing blog, and also to her writing students. Angela's students can contact Angela at any time for information and personal coaching.
