How would you like it if you had no control over your daily decisions? You want Vector cereal but you get Shreddies, you want a hot shower but the water comes out cold, and you want to watch playoff hockey but you’re stuck with Dancing with the Stars instead. It would be a pain!
So why do you let other people control who you work with?
As freelance writers, we tend to sit around and wait our clients to find us. Much like allowing somebody else to choose what you eat in the morning, this practice is completely backwards!
Instead of taking on whatever work you’re presented with you need to identify your ideal client profile and actively seek prospects that fit that description.
If you really enjoy writing for alternative health websites, the best way to ensure more work in that field is to market yourself to alternative health companies. If you aren’t able to choose your clients, then you’ll likely be presented with a wide range of work – much of it that you don’t particularly enjoy.
