You could try cold-calling (or cold-emailing), knocking on doors or praying to the freelancing fairies for some work, but there are some better techniques you can use that will be sure to get you clients in a hurry.

If you have quality content and the marketing prowess to promote it, then by all means charge. To give you an example – I’m a petrol head (I love cars) and I read several car related blogs. Some bloggers feel they are entitled to payment regardless of the quality of their content. Readers vote with their dollars.

No emails from the site editor. Firing off a biting email demanding answers and an apology probably won’t win you repeat business. Write the email and then trash it. Get a Firm Commitment By this point, that nasty email is starting to feel like a missed opportunity. And then nothing happens. But God knows you want to.

They say that you need to find affiliates to promote your work so that you don’t have to work as hard, which is also true. Confidence and the lack thereof play major rolls in business… one specific example is when determining a project bid or what to charge per hour. Great post, seriously. Good for you guys.

Rather than feel uncomfortable, as in your example, in responding “(uh, well, oh.) One thing I have noticed is that some businesses are creating Facebook pages in lieu of a website to promote events and I don’t think that should be encouraged. That’s *their* sign of success.

Here's a tip: you talk to, email several people a day. For example, if you have a video, you can use the whole video or clips, you now also have access to just audio, you can transcribe what you have and that can be used for articles, blog posts, social media content and posts, and as a manual to go along with your course.

For example, you’ve mentioned that you want to be paid for what you do, for the hours that go into your work and exposing yourself so much to your fans.
