How to Take Hold of the Gig Economy as a Freelance Writer

Mon, 24 Jan 2022 16:00:15 +0200

Did you know that 41% of the American workforce freelanced in 2020 — an increase of 13% since 2013?

You might have seen a statistic like that before — typically referenced in articles promoting freelancing and working in the gig economy. And it’s true that millions of people are freelancing across the world.

What articles referencing those statistics don’t necessarily say, though, is how the growing percentage of freelancers means more competition and undercutting when it comes to working in the gig economy.

While it’s great to think your writing horizons are expanding because of the capabilities technology has given us, what’s not so great is figuring out how to make a name for yourself when everyone and their dog is trying to do the exact same.

How do you stand out in the gig economy as a writer when there’s more and more competition every day?

Specialize.

It starts by finding the right niche. A very deep niche.

As a gig writer, it’s easy to feel like narrowing your focus too much will lessen your options when it comes to finding jobs. After all, there are countless writing jobs to be had. Won’t “niching down” nix those broader opportunities?

Well, yes.

But that’s a good thing because those broad “writing” jobs also come with heaps of competition, meaning you’re likely to never be seen anyways. Choosing a niche, however, means automatically eliminating tons of that competition and giving you an easier chance to shine.

Look at it this way:

If you’re a writer, you’re going up against millions of other writers in the world for any given job. On the other hand, if you’re a “pharmaceutical writer who specializes in product reviews,” for example, you’ll be narrowing your competition down to a select few who hold that same title. And while that might mean there are fewer jobs available to you, the ones that are will typically be:

Higher paying because the client or company is looking for a specialist, not a generalist
Easier to complete because when you specialize in a specific area, you’ll already be familiar with the processes, lingo, and technical aspects, rather than having to perform in-depth research for every new job
Less saturated with other applications and proposals

So, how do you choose a niche?

First, decide who you write for.

Do you write for tech websites, travel magazines, or fashion brands, for example?

If so, that’s a great start, but you’re not finished there. You don’t just want to be a “tech writer,” “travel writer,” or “fashion writer.” That’s not specific enough.

Keep narrowing down by figuring out what you write.

Do you write tech articles related to artificial intelligence? Or maybe travel-related articles advertising luxury trips, like safaris and cruises? What about product reviews for companies selling wedding dresses?

Using those examples, your niche could be:

A tech writer for sites or publications about artificial intelligence
A travel review writer for outfits offering luxury tours, like safaris and cruises
A fashion product-review writer for wedding dress companies

While there might be fewer overall jobs related to such specific skill sets, when you find employers looking for them, you become the “no-brainer” choice for the job.

Of course, once you’ve honed in on your niche, you still need to know there’s a demand for the specialty.

Ask yourself the following:

When you do a Google search, do you find people asking questions related to your niche on sites like Quora or Reddit, or in Facebook groups?
Are there other successful writers marketing within the same niche?
Do you see job boards listing related opportunities?

If there’s no chatter about “children’s writers who teach advanced knitting techniques” (weird example, I know, but it makes a point), you’ve probably gone too narrow. If, on the other hand, there is online talk about “female writers who teach advanced knitting techniques,” well, now you’re onto something.

Find a healthy balance between choosing a specific niche, while making sure there’s still demand for it.

Find Your Target Market

Once you’ve chosen a niche, it’s time to seek out your target market — the people ready and willing to pay for your skills.

There are 3 main areas to look for clients or companies with a need for your writing skills:

Referrals
Job boards
Online groups

Referrals

Finding gigs through referrals is the easiest first step you can take because whoever you end up pitching to will already have a connection to you in some way, whether it’s through friends, family, colleagues, or past clients.

Reach out to your network for connections — there’s no better way to easily land a gig.

Job Boards

Job boards are the next step in the process because they’re already targeted directly at you (assuming you’re using a writing-specific job board like the one here on Freelance Writing Gigs).

When you access a job board, you’ll be instantly connected to people looking for writers. The trick is to move through the job listings and find ones your niche-specific skills cater to. (Writing a great pitch comes next, which we’ll get to.)

Online Groups

An often overlooked outlet for finding your target market is in online groups — think Facebook Groups or niche-specific forums, for example.

The mistake a lot of writers make is just joining writing groups. The key is to join groups related to your niche. So, if you write tech guides for websites, you might join tech groups (get as specific as you can with these).

How does that give you an “in” when it comes to getting gigs?

Well, you start by helping — as much as you can. When someone asks a question, you answer it. If anyone needs advice, you give it. After a thriving conversation is started, you contribute.

Eventually, you’ll become an expert on your topic, and I can guarantee people within your group will be running websites, publications, or businesses related to your niche. As you connect with them, you’ll be able to offer your writing services, and if you’ve already helped them in some way within the group, whatever job they need done is an easy win.

This method, of course, means playing the “long-game.” If you’re in this for the long-haul, though, you need a long-game.

Learn to Pitch

Writing a great pitch is the most important piece of the puzzle because in the gig economy, you’ll be writing your fair share of them.

A great job pitch can be broken down into 5 main parts:

1. Intro

Every pitch should start with a good intro, which should include both a personal touch, along with a great hook. An easy way to add a personal touch is to address whoever you’re writing to by name. A hook might be a quick sentence about past, similar jobs you’ve successfully completed.

2. Proof

Your hook can lead into the proof — where you provide testimonials or hard numbers related to past work. Did you write an article that got 1,000 social shares? Did the product description you wrote for that one magazine lead to a 10% increase in product purchases? Did the blog post you wrote earlier this year end up on the first page of Google?

All those instances are great examples of proof because they don’t just tell prospective clients you’ve completed jobs; it shows them you’ve gotten results, and that’s what people are after.

3. Plan of action

Clients and employers don’t post jobs simply to get work done. They post them because they have an end goal in mind. If they’re looking for a product review writer, for example, they likely want more sales. If they need a blog writer, maybe they want more website traffic. Whatever it is, you can guarantee there’s an end goal in mind.

The most important thing you can do in a job pitch is address that end goal, and then describe how you’ll help meet it. That means you can’t simply tell a prospect how great of a writer you are and call it a day. You need to show them you understand their goals and are confident in helping achieve them.

Break down your plan of action into succinct bullet points. If you’re applying to become a copywriter for an insurance website (where their end goal is likely to sell more insurance plans), for example, your action list might look something like this:

Interview key people within the insurance company to learn about the brand, goals, and starting point
Run in-depth market research (including specific methods)
Write 2 copies of the insurance plan sales page to run split tests

Your plan of action should be as specific as possible, and it should always be goal-oriented; target the end result your prospective client is after.

4. Questions

In traditional employment, the defining moment in any interview is when an employer asks if you have any questions.

In the gig economy, it’s no different. Only now, you don’t have to be put on the spot. Instead, you can come up with perfect questions, without any pressure.

The key, yet again, is to make sure your questions are goal-oriented. If the client’s looking for a blog writer to help bring more traffic to their website, for example, you might ask how much traffic they’re currently getting, and what percentage increase would feel like a “win” for them.

The questions don’t have to be mind-blowing or earth-shattering; they just need to show the client you have their end goals in mind.

5. Direction

In the gig economy, there’s no room for things like, “I’ll look forward to hearing back” at the end of a proposal because that leaves your pitch open-ended. Instead, give the prospective client direction. Tell them what to do next, and be specific.

End your pitch by offering several times to get on a call to discuss the project. Don’t forget to remind the client that if those times don’t work, you can be flexible.

Better yet, set up an account on an app like Calendly, where you can send the client a link to schedule a call directly within your calendar — no back and forth required.

If you end your pitch without strong direction (or a call to action), your potential client might just put your pitch on the backburner while they look through others. If, however, you give them specific steps to take, they’ll be more likely to follow through on those steps.

Don’t Settle

Working in the gig economy means taking multiple jobs at a time, working for various clients, and needing a constant influx of both new and existing work offers. That means, as soon as you become complacent with seeking out new job opportunities, you’re at risk of losing your income.

The trap too many gig workers fall into is that of the “yo-yo” workflow.

It looks like this:

There’s a lack of work, so the freelancer puts a big effort into finding new work.
The freelancer gets busy with their influx of work, so they stop looking for more work.
The existing jobs come to an end, and the freelancer is again left with no work.
Rinse and repeat.

The flaw in this “yo-yo” pattern of freelance work is, each time existing jobs come to an end, the freelancer’s paycheck disappears, which brings on a mad rush to replace it. The whole process is a recipe for stress. It’s also very reactive, meaning the only time a freelancer looks for new work is when the existing work goes away.

Instead, you need to be proactive.

There are a few main ways to stay proactive when it comes to finding, having, and keeping gigs:

1. Stacking your jobs

Send more pitches than you need, and schedule the work throughout the following few months. Or, in other words, accept jobs to do now, and once the current month is filled up, tell clients you’ll be able to start their work the next month, and the next.

A lot of freelancers are afraid to do this out of fear the client will just move onto the next candidate. If you’ve gone through all the above steps in this article, though, and clients see you as the best fit, they’ll wait.

2. Schedule “pitch time” each week

Even if you currently have enough work, still make a point to schedule an hour each week to send pitches. When accepted, you can “stack” those jobs to be done after your existing ones.

3. Keep networking

You can never have too big of a network, and the more people you connect with, the more referrals you’ll get. Make sure friends, family, and colleagues are constantly aware you’re still in the writing business. Stay active on the Facebook groups or forums you’ve joined, and consider writing guest posts on relevant websites in your niche to get your name in front of new audiences (if you’ve mastered your freelance gig pitch, sending guest post pitches will be a breeze).

Conclusion

Working in the gig economy can be stressful. Becoming successful in the gig economy can be downright overwhelming. Fortunately, you don’t have to go up against low-cost freelancers looking to undercut the market, and you certainly don’t have to face feast or famine by yo-yoing through gigs.

Instead, follow these specific steps to build a profitable and stable gig-based career:

Choose a specialized niche within the broad job title of “writer.”
Find your target market and connect with them.
Perfect your pitches and keep them results-oriented.
Stay proactive with your income rather than reactive.

By keeping those gig-economy staples in mind, you’ll be able to progress your career with direction and intention (aka a lot less stress, and a lot more success).

How to Make Your Freelancing Business More Sustainable

Wed, 19 Jan 2022 20:00:34 +0200

We love freelancing for many things, like the opportunity to get high-paying gigs, run our own businesses, pursue passions, and achieve financial freedom. But what about the less often talked about benefits of freelance work, like being a part of the sustainability movement?

When done with intentionality, freelancing can inspire an effort to improve your general impact on the environment.

There are many tips freelancers can implement to make their businesses and personal lives more sustainable. But it’s all about baby steps.

Here’s how to make your freelancing business more sustainable.

Learn About Sustainability

Many people admittedly don’t know much about sustainability. Sometimes the ones who do are so intimidated by it that they end up not doing anything to contribute to a healthier environment. And some people don’t think sustainability is any more than recycling.

If you’re serious about making your freelance business more sustainable, you don’t want to be any of these people. Instead, you want to be knowledgeable about sustainability generally, understand how particular individual acts can contribute to a better planet, and appreciate the depth of sustainability.

This starts with learning as much as you can about sustainability. You can start with an internet search on sustainability to begin educating yourself. Also, lean into social media to learn from sustainability experts, influencers, and activists. Furthermore, you can talk with your circle about how they’re approaching sustainability and join networking groups to study the topic continually.

With some sustainability knowledge under your belt, start with your home office.

Read: What is sustainability in business?

Start With Your Home Office

Suppose you spend most of your time at home running your freelance business. In that case, you can make your freelancing business more sustainable by making your home more sustainable.

Start with energy efficiency improvements. For example, switch your lightbulbs to LED, address even the tiniest air leaks, and set your ceiling fans to move slowly during the winter.

You should also master the art of unplugging in your home office and around the rest of your house to aid your sustainability efforts.

Learn the Art of Unplugging

We aren’t talking about unplugging to avoid burnout, although that’s crucial for the longevity of your freelancing business. Instead, we’re referring to literally unplugging and shutting things down in your house when they aren’t in use.

While working from home as a freelancer, unplug appliances like televisions and shut down other tech tools when you aren’t using them. Doing so can help you save electricity because these appliances and tools won’t draw energy from outlets when they’re turned off.

Even though it may seem like freelancers spend the majority of their time at home, many of them have just as much business to attend to outside of their homes. So, it’s essential to pay attention to your commute in your effort to make your freelancing business more sustainable.

Pay Attention to Your Commute

As stated above, many freelancers spend the majority of their time in their homes running their businesses. Therefore, not having the commute attached to an in-office 9-to-5 job can absolutely contribute to better sustainability.

With that being said, a considerable amount of freelancers are required to drive to different locations all the time to conduct business. This can lead to a large carbon footprint that minimizes your efforts to make your freelance business more sustainable.

Buying a hybrid or electric vehicle may not be in the cards right now, but you can lessen the carbon footprint caused by consistent travel by utilizing gas-saving methods. For instance, when recommended, you can clean your car’s fuel system to maintain your fuel efficiency. Or you can improve your fuel economy by implementing mindful driving tips like avoiding traffic.

Another tip for making your freelancing business more sustainable is to learn from other freelancers.

Learn From Other Freelancers

One of the best ways to make your freelancing business more sustainable is to learn from other freelancers already doing it successfully.

Lean into the freelancer network. You’d be surprised at how many freelancers are passionate about sustainability and ensuring their businesses uphold environmentally-friendly values and practices. Don’t be afraid to reach out to people directly if you’re interested in what they’re saying about sustainability and doing to make it a priority in their businesses.

Lastly, take it one day at a time.

Take it One Day at a Time

Although it’s a beautiful thing to want to save the world, you won’t be able to do it all in a day, week, month, or year.

Take it one day at a time when making your freelancing business more sustainable. Develop long and short-term sustainability goals that are measurable and realistic. You should also create a step-by-step plan for implementing sustainability initiatives so that you become even more comfortable with being patient.

Ultimately, conquering sustainability is a journey, not a race.

Conclusion

Building a lasting freelance business can impact more than your finances. It can also influence how fulfilled you are because you can participate in more important things, like making the world a healthier, more just place. Use the tips above to make your freelance business more sustainable and, in turn, have a positive impact on the environment.

And that’s what we’re here for. We aim to give you new jobs daily. If you’ve been with us for a while, you’d also know that companies/clients post jobs on our Job Board on a regular basis.

The good news is that you do not have to stay in this rut. You can get that first client.

You probably just need a bit of guidance and a little push. And that’s what Paid To Write will do for you.

How to Turn Gigs Into a Stable Freelance Writing Business

Tue, 04 Jan 2022 16:00:36 +0200

Freelancing and stability seem like polar opposites. Most freelancers expect very loose hours, extended periods of downtime, and have plans in case payment doesn’t happen exactly on schedule – all traits of a more informal workforce and marketplace.

An article in the Wall Street Journal spells out all of the undesirable particulars: “Also know, that your future income will be hugely variable. Monthly retainers and long-term commitments are increasingly vestiges of a bygone era.” Given the variable and casual nature of freelance work, how can you turn it into a sustainable, stable business?

The Intersection Between Demand and Sustainability

Dallas.Epperson Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike 3.0 Unported

From an economic perspective, things that are in demand are sustainable. The sustainability of your business directly increases as the demand for its products or services increases. For freelancers, this means that the more clients you have wanting your work, the more sustainable and stable your business will be.

On the whole, freelancing careers are now more sustainable than before because of the increased aggregate demand for freelancers. In fact, freelancers now makeup about a third of the U.S. workforce (55 million workers) and generate about $1 trillion in earnings to the economy.

So, part of your job’s already “done” for you since freelancing in itself is no longer unsustainable. It isn’t dying like the coal industry, which has seen increasing amounts of job loss as a result of industrial factors. The lack of demand in the field isn’t the principal cause of why you might not be able to find work as a freelancer.

The big difference between freelance writing and a cushy corporate job is the entrepreneurial aspect of finding and getting new clients. Sure there are marketplaces that will pair you up with offers, but some charge commissions and you may not get the most lucrative offers on a consistent basis on such platforms. To get the best, most profitable, and most consistent gigs, you need to sharpen your skills and venture out to find clients.

Freelance Entrepreneurship: Why Networking and Connections Matter

Maintaining your creativity at a steady level is difficult and can take a lot of energy out of you. As a freelancer, getting by with the – initially – meager amount of clients that you have and accounting for things like payment delays already sets you back a bit. So, while asking you to network and make meaningful connections on top of such a hectic work schedule may seem unrealistic at first, the benefits are more certain and greater than you might believe.

Investing time in personal relationships can lead to connections that provide repeat customers.

Think of it this way: Investing time in personal relationships and connections with the right people can lead to business relationships that provide you with consistent work from repeat customers. It helps break the never-ending cycle of searching for work and writing so you can spend less time searching and more time dedicated to your craft alone. Brokering connections with a diverse group of people is the first step to harnessing the power behind the inherent demand for freelance writing work present in the economy.

Massive social media platforms like LinkedIn boast a network and set of great tools that can help you identify the people that are the most likely leads, introduce yourself on the basis of your mutual friends and network overlaps, and spread your reputation.

When it comes to freelance writing work, the reputation and credibility you have as a writer make much more of a difference since you’re seen by businesses who want writers as an individual providing a unique service. You’re treated as a one-man business. Being cognizant of your name and brand as a writer is a deciding factor in the future volume of work you can get and therefore it is also a factor in the sustainability of your freelancing writing business.

Contingency Plans and Credit

Expect the unexpected when you enter the freelancing market. Because of the informality of the freelancing market, in comparison to something like stock trading, for example, you should always account for a flexible payment schedule. Part of having this flexibility lies in having contingency plans to cover unexpected costs.

The final key to the sustainability of your business is making sure that it can weather dry periods.

You want to look into the things that may be contributing to your lower credit scores and minimize their impact. Budgeting and saving your earnings to create an emergency fund that can last you anywhere from one to six months without work can also be a game-changer in terms of the financial freedom it affords you and in how it opens up what you can do with your time. The final key to the sustainability of your freelance writing business is making sure that it can weather the dry cycles.
