Weekend Wrap
Many exciting things happened in the freelance writing world this week, and there are a lot of great things coming in the week ahead. This week’s weekend wrap has a reminder about an upcoming teleseminar, links to information about an established writer’s new e-book, and other notes and news about freelance writing.
Jenn Mattern has a new e-book coming out called Launching a Successful Freelance Web Writing Career, and she has a new site to go along with it. The Web Writer’s Guide already has a lot of useful information for freelancers who want to make a career out of writing for the Web. The e-book is being launched tomorrow (October 13) and is sure to be an excellent resource for freelancers (her list of bonuses is also quite appealing).
Chris at ChrisBlogging had a great post on negotiating freelance writing rates on the telephone. I haven’t used the phone very much as a freelancer, but his tips give me the confidence to do so when the opportunity arises.
Avid Writer had a great post about selling your own products as a writer. Do you need to be an expert to sell your own products, or do you just have to have the know-how to research and write about a topic?
Deb at Freelance Writing Jobs put up a funny post about a very vague Craigslist writing ad. Does it get on your nerves when you have to enlist the services of the CIA to figure out what a prospective client is looking for in a writer?
Joan Stewart’s How to Use Twitter to Amass an Army of Followers, Customers & Valuable Contacts–and Promote teleseminar is coming up on Monday and Tuesday, 10/13 and 10/14. The registration fee is $77 for two hours and twenty minutes of solid information. Not a bad deal.
I found a new blog this week! How did I NOT know about Writing for Your Wealth? I haven’t had a chance to look through past posts yet, but I will definitely be reading them and signing up for the free e-course.
Enjoy the rest of your weekend. See you bright and early Monday morning.
