Alright, maybe the camels are an exaggeration, but clearly this devotion to writing (sometimes under incredibly tough circumstances) requires some sort of magical skill to maintain. This call is going to be valuable, especially if you want to leverage your writing skills to live off your success. Even if all you have is $100.)

What they don’t tell you is that in order to do any of these things you should do, you need to master something else first – something more intangible, something more than a skill. We’re not confident enough. We’re not confident in our writing, in our own products, and in our own value. Get branding.

If you aren’t confident in your abilities, how do you convince a prospective client you’re the person for the job? No one needs to know you’re being paid $5 for the work or that you’re writing it for a content mill. Send them an email, sing laurels about their work and suggest ways to make their content more effective.

Putting confidence into your copy almost to the point of arrogance is pretty powerful stuff, and it works out great for a lot of people. However, all too often this confidence turns to cockiness. If you’re still not sure, I’ll be honest – I’m probably not going to be able to help you yet, because this takes confidence on both sides.

Look for writer’s guidelines or study the content the editors wrote for the publication themselves. But you do need a specific outline, or your lack of confidence in what your piece is about will show through. Pitching is like any other skill that you develop over time with persistence, experimentation, and discipline.

Understanding that most of my fears in this area were irrational or exaggerated, seeing that my communication style basically made me invisible and was sabotaging any chance I had of getting ahead, I decided to develop the skills and attitudes that would allow me to communicate honestly.

You see, new freelancers don’t really know the value of their skills, or feel they can’t charge more because they don’t have experience, or they can’t figure out what the current industry rate for what they do might be. Many people underestimate the value of good skills and great service.

When I submit a guest post to small blogs most of the time they are added without any delay as they want more and more fresh content. I even had 2 major blog publish the same content on the same day when I send them over for review. Duplicate content!!! Relevance and content are important when it comes to submission of posts.

Should bloggers start charging for content? If you were, say for example, to add WishList Member to Men with Pens and offer a paid level of content, you would be, essentially, creating a product. I believe anyone who can build an audience for their blog in the first place can also offer paid content successfully.

A website like that conveys confidence, pride and prowess.

We like authority and people who have conviction, who stand up and speak their mind with confidence. Without feeling strongly about that opinion, we wouldn’t have innovation because the creators wouldn’t have the confidence to pursue an idea. We pay attention to these people, too.
