FREELANCE WRITING: A SEMINAR DESCRIBING HOW PROFESSIONALS SUCCEED

319 FREELANCE WRITING:
A SEMINAR DESCRIBING HOW PROFESSIONALS SUCCEED

Freelance writing has both short-term and long-term potential. The key to successful communicating is motivation. Besides a proactive, entrepreneurial attitude, freelancers need to promote their product, their writing experience and themselves. This seminar describes the essentials of networking and the keys to negotiating money, time and expectations. We will discuss the levels of discipline and competence required, "what it takes" as far as ability with words—first draft, revisions, and working relationships (accepting criticism, gaining approval, etc.). We will talk about getting "repeats" and "referrals" and how pricing is done by professionals.
