Do you want to make money from freelance writing? If you do, you need a website: it’s your primary sales tool and will get more clients for you than you can handle.

Unfortunately, many writers shoot themselves in the foot on their site. So, if you’re not getting lots of clients, let’s see how we can fix that.

Reason 1. Lack of Client Focus

Look at the home page of your website. Do you focus on yourself and on what you do?

This is a mistake. Your prospects are concerned about their own problems and challenges. Harsh as it may sound, they have zero interest in you.

The Fix #1:

Think about what your clients want. Think about the problems they have. Rewrite your homepage, and every other page of your site, focusing on your clients and what they want.

Reason 2. Lack of Credibility

Writers write. If your website is a poor, shriveled thing, with one, two or three skimpy pages, fancy graphics, logos and hyperbole won’t convince anyone you’re a writer.

The Fix #2:

Add content, and make that content client-focused. Saying that you can solve somebody’s problems is not the same thing as showing that you’ve solved others’ problems, so add case studies to your website.

This is especially important if you’re just starting out as a writer. If you already have a name, and are known as a writer, you don’t need to go to the same amount of effort — anyone who types your name into Google will see that you’re a writer, and a competent one.

Reason 3. No Compelling Reason to Contact You

Having a site is all very well, but every page of your site should also have a compelling reason to contact you.

This ties in with your client focus. When you’re focused on your clients, and their problems, you’ll find reasons they should contact you — put those reasons on every page of your site.

The Fix #3:

Add your contact details to every page of your site, and include a cell phone number. People who need writing services in a hurry appreciate having ways to contact you fast.

Additionally, in these days of rampant scamming, adding your contact details adds to your credibility and adds a little more weight to your customer focus. You’re a real person — show your customers that you are, and that you’re approachable.

There is a lot of money to be made from freelance writing, you just need to know how. By learning what I have to teach you you are putting yourself ahead of 95% of other content writers out there. So it is definitely worth reading this article once and then reading it again.

The Need For Content Is MassiveThe internet is growing at an exponential rate and the amount of money being spent online is also growing significantly. The need for regular content is massive. There are literally thousands (if not millions) of webmasters who hire writers on a consistent basis in order to create new content for websites that they create.

There are blogs that are constantly updated with new content everyday and the owners need to hire writers because they cannot manage writing all of the content themselves. There are businesses that need people to write articles and sales pages for their websites and there are affiliate marketers who need articles written so that they can market other people’s products and make a commission.

There will always be a need for content to be created and it is not difficult to earn a full time income providing quality information for these webmasters. I am going to teach you how you can earn a full time income by providing a quality service that provides quality information on a regular basis

Quality Reliable Writers Are RareOne thing I have learned by being a writer and by hiring writers for my own website is that quality writers are rare. It is extremely difficult to find a writer who is available when you need them to be and who can deliver articles of good quality on time on a regular basis.

You can quickly and easily stand above the rest by providing a reliable service. I will expand more on this later, but I just want to emphasize the fact that it is not difficult to earn money as a freelance writer.

Not a Get Rich Quick Scheme, But a Freedom SchemeI said that it is not difficult to earn money as a freelance writer, but this is far from a get rich quick scheme. If you are looking for a get rich quick scheme then you are looking in the wrong place.

In order to make good money from freelance writing you will need to put in some hard work and some consistent effort, but you would be expected to do that in any job that you worked.

The great thing about freelance writing is that it gives you complete freedom.

You have complete freedom to work whenever suits you – Not everyone works most effectively 9-5 and in fact most people don’t. I did a survey recently on Smarter Wealth and found that 47% of people work most effectively between 8pm-4am. With freelance writing you can work when it suits you and when it is most effective for you, meaning you can have more freedom than a regular 9-5 job.

You have complete freedom to work as much as you like or as little as you like — A regular 9-5 job limits your work to those specific hours and it can often be difficult to get time off work in order to schedule holidays and family occasions. With freelance writing you have the freedom to work as much or as little as you like. Because you don’t work for someone in a 9-5 job you can choose if you want to take on a job or not. You will have more freedom to have holidays and free time whenever you want.

You have the freedom to earn as much as you would like – This is one of the things that I absolutely love about freelance writing. If you need an extra $100 to buy a new pair of jeans, or you have an unexpected bill or fine then you can just work a little bit longer and earn more money. There are always articles that need writing, so there is always work when you need it.

You Don’t Have To Be a ProfessionalA lot of people think that they couldn’t possibly become a freelance writer because they have not been to university to study journalism. This could not be further from the truth, in fact the majority of freelance writers cashing in have never studied any form of writing at a university level. In fact there are many writers who do not even speak english as their first language who are cashing in $30-$50/hour.

In order to be a freelance writer all you need is a grasp on the English language. Being a native English speaker is definitely preferred but it is not 100% necessary.

Over the course of this series I am going to teach you the tips and tricks that you can use to earn more money from less work, so stay tuned for that.

Right now I just want you to realize and understand that you do not have to be a professional writer to make good money freelance writing. So do not let that mindset hold you back from cashing in the big bucks
