The life of a freelance writer is pretty amazing!
There are many benefits: you get to make your own schedule, choose which clients you prefer working for and even get to decide how much you’ll charge them. It’s all up to you.
The best of all? You get to choose your own location. If you want to sit around writing in your PJ’s all day, fine! Want to change scenery and go somewhere else to get the creative juices flowing? Just hop in the car and bring the laptop with you.
However, achieving (and sustaining) success as a freelancer isn’t always easy.
Like it or not, you are a business owner. There are many aspects to running a freelance writing business.
You’ll hit some bumps along the way. The success and the setbacks are all part of your unique journey. But you’re not going to a little setback allow you to sink your ship, are you?
Of course not!
You can’t be stopped. You’re unsinkable!
You know you can do this and you’re not alone. There’s plenty of guidance along the way.

Meet Jasper, Freelance Writer

Jasper Oldersom headshot
That’s why I invited Jasper Oldersom (a freelance writer from Opportunity Building whom you can connect with on Twitter or on Google+) to be a guest on Wording Well, sharing 11 things that will help you to achieve more success as a freelance writer.
(I’m currently working on The Blind Writer – a new site that provides direction to writers of all types! Be sure to check it out when you get a chance… especially if you need additional guidance on your writing journey!)
So, are you ready for it?
Let’s dive in!

11 Things You Can Do to Achieve More Success as a Freelance Writer

1. Write Often

Mastery comes through practice. As a freelance writer, there’s no way around it. You’ll need to write daily.
The more you write, the better you get. The better and more established you get, the more you can charge.
Simple, right?
Don’t have enough client work? Write a blog post and a pitch to a couple of potential clients. (Yes, that counts too.)
Finished writing a blog post? Compose a strong email to send to your list.
A writer’s job is never done. It’s good to be excited about finishing something, but try to move on to the next thing quickly.
When I first started blogging, I was all excited once I finished a post. I felt accomplished. Now, I try to move on to something new as quickly as possible and find the sense of accomplishment in the act of writing itself.
You need to make writing a habit. After a while, you’ll start to notice that you feel a natural desire to sit down and you start trusting the process.
The hardest part is sitting down. Once you do, the words will come.

2. Study Headlines

Do you want to know a “shocking” fact?
The success of your writing largely depends on your ability to write headlines that pull people into your writing.
I know, this puts a lot of pressure on you.
Don’t start worrying just yet, though.
Why?
Well, you don’t have to create something out of thin air each time you sit down to write. Once you start studying headlines, you’ll start noticing that formulas are used everywhere you look.
I recognize them when I’m reading blogs or sales letters. I even notice them when I’m standing in line at the grocery store and glance at the attention demanding magazine covers.
An excellent way to kick-start your ability to write and recognize headlines is to download one of these resources:

3. Create a Swipe File

1315952A swipe file is a huge folder on the desktop of my computer with writing I can draw inspiration from.image 1 for blog post titled 11 Things You Can Do to Achieve More Success as a Freelance Writer
Power words, metaphors, fabulous sentences, grease slide copy, headline formulas, great advertisements, e-mails, captivating openings for blog posts…it’s all in there. It doesn’t matter what it is, it evokes an emotion or grabs my attention, I save it.
It took me a long time to gather all of it, but it’s become one of my secret weapons. However, you don’t even need a big swipe file to benefit from it.
Seriously, create a folder right now and save the two headline resources from above.
Then download this resource by Kevin from websitecopywritingservices.com: 502 grease slide phrases for bloggers. I use it so often that I tell fellow writers about it all the time.
Done? Nice! You’re off to a good start.
Now go ahead and keep your eyes open for writing you can potentially swipe.

4. Network With Other Bloggers

I admit it. I used to have bad associations with the word “networking”…image 2 for blog post titled 11 Things You Can Do to Achieve More Success as a Freelance Writer
As an introvert, I disliked the idea of forcing myself to connect with others just to expand my network.
Luckily, it’s 2016 and going to networking events is not essential.
The digital route is certainly less uncomfortable.
I started small. I just left a comment here and there. But then I noticed how powerful it was and kicked my networking into a higher gear. Comments turned into e-mails back and forth and those turned into friendships.
Getting active in the community was one of the best choices I made. It has resulted in many wonderful connections with people that inspire me, support me and provided me with new opportunities. The sense of community is also really awesome.

5. Get Involved in Guest Blogging and Roundup Posts

I have a rule for myself: if someone reaches out to me if I want to contribute to a roundup post in my niche, I always say yes. (Lorraine generally does, too. Look at how many expert round-ups she’s contributed to!!!)
How can I say no to getting in front of a new audience?
The people who reach out to me are usually people I’ve connected with or people who found me on their sites. You’ll get noticed in ways you don’t even realize if you just put yourself out there. As an example: just a week ago, I was asked to contribute to a roundup post on the Huffington Post and MatthewWoodward.com.
When I started guest blogging, I didn’t have to send cold pitches. I was amazed by this. The opportunities simply came to me because I created strong connections with many bloggers. They already visited my site and were aware that I publish quality content.
A single guest post will often result in an opportunity for a second guest post or even a paid gig, so don’t miss out on leveraging other people’s audiences to boost your online presence.

6. Develop Your Unique Voice

You may not want to offend any potential clients by using words that you’d like to use, writing in a particular style or sharing vulnerable details about your personal life.image 3 for blog post titled 11 Things You Can Do to Achieve More Success as a Freelance Writer
The truth is, all of this makes you who you are as a writer. It’s the complete package.
Some potential clients will fall in love with your distinctive voice and choose you to work with them for that reason alone. Write like you talk. Don’t be afraid to put your own personality in your writing!
It’s okay to borrow your style from other writers. I’ve developed my own voice by studying authors and bloggers that I admire myself.
In the beginning, you may sound a little like the authors that inspire you. But don’t worry, you will find your own voice. And when this happens, you’ll be recognized and loved for it.

7. Don’t Let Criticism Hold You Back

I’ve been lucky enough to receive helpful feedback along my journey. I cherish it and you should too. You make mistakes, sometimes without realizing it. That’s your blind spot as a writer. Receiving honest feedback gives you the opportunity to work on it.
Criticism is different. It’s often nothing more than destructive. I’m blessed to be able to say that I haven’t received a lot of criticism, but trust me when I say that, just like offline, not everyone you meet online is going to be friendly.
Don’t conform to the critics out there. Don’t go out on a limb to please everyone on this earth. Not everyone enjoys your writing style and that’s perfectly fine.
There are plenty of people who will enjoy and embrace the unique way you write, so get out there and let your voice be known!

8. Make Self-Education a Priority

Never stop learning. Your knowledge and expertise are secret weapons that will pay off again and again.
I regularly read books on copy writing, business, social media, and other topics that interest me. When I don’t feed my brain with interesting information regularly, my brain just doesn’t feel as sharp and it shows in my writing. That’s why I’ve made it a habit of reading a book every 1-2 weeks.
Another added advantage of stacking knowledge is that you can provide clients with tips that they’d never expect from you. When you start making a conscious effort to do this, you create a *wow* experience that puts you ahead of the competition.

9. Write About Topics You Love

Outsiders often think that a writer is someone that writes more easily and naturally than someone that isn’t a writer. To be honest, this is simply not the truth.
Personally, I know I have a hard time to sit down and write sometimes. When this happens, my brain is constantly looking for an escape. Anything to distract me from the task at hand. But if I look more closely at the situation, I find that I’m just not as passionate about the particular topic.
If you work for clients in industries that just don’t resonate you, don’t be surprised if you’re overwhelmed by resistance. So write about topics you love. Make sure your clients know what topics you specialize in.
Don’t worry, there is most likely plenty of work in your niche. If not, find something that hits the intersection of what you like and where the money is.

10. Sign Up To Freelance Market Places and Check The Job Boards

Don’t sit around and wait for the work to come to you… go out and get it!
There are many opportunities freelance marketplaces you can sign up which is a great way to get more experience. All these people are looking for freelance writers. It’s an open invitation to pitch.
Some of the most popular marketplaces are Freelancer and UpWork. I recommend starting there.
Problogger has a very active job board where business can post potential jobs.
Freelancewritinggigs is another great one you should keep your eyes on.
Of course, these jobs are high competition, but if you don’t try, you can’t succeed. Remember: people secure gigs from job boards daily and you can do it too!

11. Pitch Regularly

If you only pitch when you’re in need of work… well, you’re too late.
To have a flourishing freelance writing business, you need to get serious about pitching. Even if you have enough client work to satisfy your current needs. Clients do not stay forever and it’s better to be prepared.
You may have heard this quote before: “Sales is a numbers game.”
It’s true, for the most part.
Your pitch does matter. Your chances will dramatically increase when you write a personalized, compelling and concise email.
However, don’t expect everyone to say yes and don’t sit around refreshing your inbox waiting for an answer. Pitch multiple clients regularly.
Brent Jones recently wrote a quick start on freelance writing, in which he mentions you should “make it a point to pitch 5-10 new prospective clients every day.”
So take massive action. It’s the only way you can ensure your well will never run dry.

Need a professional writer? Fiction and non-fiction? contact richard.nata@yahoo.co.id
Let me introduce myself. My name is Richard Nata. I am an author, novelist, blogger and ghost writer. My articles, including short stories have been published in magazines and newspapers since 1994. I have written a lot of books, both fiction and non-fiction. So I was a professional in the field of writing, both fiction and non-fiction.

I was born in Jakarta, August 17, 1968.  

In 1988, at the age of 20 years, I started working as an accounting staff. Age 24 years has occupied the position of Finance Manager. Age 26 years as a General Manager.

In 1994, my articles published in magazines and tabloids.

In 1997, I wrote a book entitled "Buku Pintar Mencari Kerja". This book is reprinted as much as 8 times. Through the book, the authors successfully helped tens of thousands of people get jobs at once successful in their careers. They were also successful when moving to work in other places.

In 1998, I started investing in shares on Bursa Efek Indonesia (Indonesia stock exchange). As a result of investing in the stock market then I can provide consulting services for companies that want to go public in Indonesia stock exchange.

2. JASA KONSULTAN GO PUBLIC ( IPO ) DI BURSA EFEK INDONESIA. 


BUKU PINTAR DAPAT KERJA GAJI TINGGI PINDAH KERJA GAJI SEMAKIN TINGGI made by retyping the book BEST SELLER of the author, entitled “Buku Pintar Mencari Kerja”. This ebook available on google play.

In 2015, I had the idea of a startup company where the readers can decide for themselves the next story. WASN'T THIS A GREAT IDEA? IF can be realized WILL BE WORTH billions USD. Because CAN PRODUCE FOR MILLIONS OF DOLLARS even tens of millions USD annually. 

In theory, in 10-20 years into the future, my startup income, amounting to hundreds of million USD annually can be obtained easily. AND IF FOLLOWED BY MANY COMPANIES IN THE WHOLE WORLD WILL THEN BE A NEW INDUSTRIAL worth trillions USD. 

To be honest. Currently I'm not having a lot of money. So I start marketing my startup with blogspot.

My STARTUP :


A story with millions of choices in it - looking investor like you.



Try to imagine this. When you're reading a story on the web or blog, you are given two choices. You can choose the next story based on your own choice. After selecting then you can continue reading the story. Shortly afterwards you will be presented back to the 2 other options. The next choice is up to you. Then you continue the story you are reading. After that you will be faced again with 2 choices. So onwards. The more stories you read so the more options you have taken.


If you feel curious then you can re-read the story by changing your selection. Then you will see a different story with the story that you have read previously. The question now is why is this so? Because the storyline will be varying according to your choice. 


I, as the author is planning to make tens of thousands of articles with millions of choices in it. With tens of thousands of articles then you like to see a show of your favorite series on TV for several years. The difference is while watching your favorite TV series, then you can not change the story. Meanwhile, if you read this story then you can alter the way the story according to your own choice.

You might say like this. Sounds like a book "choose your own adventure". Books I read when I was young.

Correctly. The idea is taken from there. But if you read through a book, the story is not so exciting. Due to the limited number of pages. When a child first you may already feel interesting. But if you re-read the book now then becomes no fun anymore because you don't get anything with the amount of 100-200 pages. 

Have you ever heard of game books?  When you were boy or girl, did you like reading game books? I think you've heard even happy to read it.

Gamebooks are sometimes informally called choose your own adventure books or CYOA which is also the name of the Choose Your Own Adventure series published byBantam BooksGamebook - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Gamebook - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

A gamebook is a work of fiction that allows the reader to participate in the story by making effective choices. The narrative branches along various paths through the use of numbered paragraphs or pages.

Bantam Books with the Choose Your Own Adventure 

series has produced more than 250 million US 

dollars. While I offer you more powerful than the Choose 

Your Own Adventure. Because of what? Because the 

story that I made much more interesting than the stories 

created by the authors of Bantam Books. You will not get anything just to 100-200 pages. While the story that I created is made up of tens of thousands of articles with millions of choices in it.

For comparison are the books published with the theme "choose your own adventure" produces more than 250 million copies worldwide. If the average price of a book for 5 USD, the industry has produced more than 1.5 billion USD. But unfortunately this industry has been abandoned because the reader begins to feel bored. The last book was published entitled "The Gorillas of Uganda (prev." Search for the Mountain Gorillas ")". And this book was published in 2013.

Based on the above, then you are faced with two choices. Are you interested in reading my story is? Or you are not interested at all. The choice is in your hands.
If you are interested then spread widely disseminated this article to your family, friends, neighbors, and relatives. You can also distribute it on facebook, twitter, goggle +, or other social media that this article be viral in the world. By doing so it is a new entertainment industry has been created.

Its creator named Richard Nata.

The full articles that talks about this: 
  




WHY DO I NEED STARTUP FUNDS FROM INVESTORS? I NEED A LOT OF FUNDS FROM INVESTORS BECAUSE I HAVE TO LOOKING FOR EXPERT PROGRAMMERS(IT).BECAUSE THE DATA IS HANDLED IS VERY LARGE, IT MAY HAVE TO WEAR SOME PROGRAMMERS(IT).

I CAN NOT WEAR SOME FREELANCE PROGRAMMER BECAUSE THE DATA MUST BE MONITORED CONTINUOUSLY FROM VIRUSES, MALWARE, SPAM, AND OTHERS.

IN ADDITION FUNDS FROM INVESTORS IS ALSO USED TO BUY SERVERS WITH VERY LARGE CAPACITY. FUNDS ARE ALSO USED TO PAY EMPLOYEE SALARIES AND OPERATIONAL COSTS OF THE COMPANY.

FUNDS CAN ALSO BE USED FOR ADVERTISING AND OTHER MARKETING STRATEGIES.FUNDS CAN ALSO BE USED TO ADVERTISE MY STARTUP AND OTHER MARKETING STRATEGIES.

IF I GET A VERY LARGE FUND, THE PART OF THE FUNDS USED TO TRANSLATE THE STORY INTO VARIOUS LANGUAGES.With more and more languages, the more readers we get.
WITH MORE AND MORE READERS, THE MORE REVENUE WE GET. 

AS AN INVESTOR THEN YOU DO NOT HAVE TO FEEL ANXIOUS ABOUT YOUR FUNDS. BECAUSE YOUR FUNDS WILL NEVER BE LOST BECAUSE IN 3-5 YEARS YOU HAVE RETURNED THE FUNDS COUPLED WITH PROFIT.
THIS BUSINESS IS ONE AND THE ONLY ONE IN THE WORLD.

If we can make a good story, so that the readers will 

come again and again for further reading the story then 

our earnings will continue to grow and will never 

diminish. This is due to new readers who continued  to 

arrive, while long remained loyal readers become our 

customers.

So that the number of our readers will continue to 

multiply over time. With the increasing number of loyal 

readership then automatically the amount of income we 

will also grow larger every year. The same thing 

happened in yahoo, google, facebook, twitter, linkedin, 

and others when they still startup.

Deuteronomy {28:13} And the LORD shall make thee the 

head, and not the tail; and thou shalt be above only, and 

thou shalt not be beneath; if that thou hearken unto the commandments of the LORD thy God, which I command thee this day, to observe and to do [them: ]

Try to imagine this. If I give a very unique story. It was the first time in the world. But the world already know this story even liked it. Because the world love the game books. While the story that I made is the development of game books.
Do you Believe if I dare say if I will succeed because my story will be famous all over the world as Harry Potter?
I believe it. Not because I was the author of the story, but because of the story that I made is unique and the only one in the world. 
Income from my startup :
1. Ads. With millions of unique visitors, the price of the ads will be expensive.
2. Affiliate marketing. In addition to advertising, we are also able to put up some banner from affiliate marketing.
3. Contribution of the readers. If you have a million readers and every reader to pay one US dollar per year then you will get the income of one million US dollars per year. 
If you have a million readers and every reader to pay one US dollar per month then you will get as much revenue twelve million US dollars per year.
4. Books and Comics. After getting hundreds of thousands to the millions of readers of the story will be made in books and the form of a picture story (comics).
5. Movies. If we have a good story with millions of readers then quickly we will be offered to make a film based on the story.
6. Merchandise related to characters. After the movies there will be made an offer for the sale of goods related to the characters.
7. Sales. With millions of email that we have collected from our readers so we can sell anything to them.
    Each income (1-7) worth millions to tens of millions of US dollars. 
    Because each income (1-7) worth millions to tens of millions of US dollars. Then in 10-20 years into the future, AI will be earning hundreds of million USD annually.
So how long do you think my story that I made could gather a thousand readers? Ten thousand readers? One hundred thousand readers? A million readers? Five million readers? Ten million readers? More than ten million readers?
But to get all of it of course takes time, can not be instant. In addition, it takes hard work, big funds and placement of the right people in the right positions.
By advertising, viral marketing, strong marketing strategies and SEO then a million readers can be done in less than a year. Ten million readers can be done in two to three years.
This is the marketing strategy of my startup.
When hundreds of thousands or millions of readers already liked my story then they have to pay to enjoy the story that I made.
If you are a visionary then you will think like this.
With the help of my great name in the world of business, my expertise in marketing, advertising, marketing by mouth, viral marketing, then collecting a million readers to ten million readers will be easy to obtain. Is not that right?
The question now is what if people like my story as they like Harry Potter? You will get tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of email addresses from readers. With that much email, we can sell anything to the readers.
Since April 2013, Wikipedia has around 26 million articles in 285 languages are written by 39 million registered users and a variety of anonymous people who are not known from other parts of the world.  Web ranked by Alexa, Wikipedia is a famous website number 6 which has been visited by 12% of all Internet users with 80 million visitors every month and it is only from the calculation of America.

resource : http://www.tahupedia.com/content/show/136/Sejarah-dan-Asal-Mula-Wikipedia

If no Wikipedia then need hundreds of thousands to millions of books required to make 26 million articles in 285 languages into books.

With the Wikipedia then people started to leave to read a book or books to seek knowledge about a subject or many subjects.

The same thing will happen. Read a story in a book or books to be abandoned. Read a story with millions of choices on the web or blog is far more interesting than reading a book or books. 

So what happens next? In 10-20 years ahead then read a story in a book to be abandoned. Otherwise my startup will grow and continue to develop into a new entertainment industry.

New entertainment industry, where I was a forerunner startup will continue to evolve. 
Therefore, in 10-20 years into the future, my startup will be earning hundreds of million USD annually.

So do not delay. Invest your money immediately to my startup. Take A Look. There are so many advantages if you want to invest in my startup.
WHY YOU SHOULD INVEST YOUR MONEY RIGHT NOW? .
IF YOU INVEST YOUR FUNDS IN ONE, TWO OR THREE YEARS INTO THE FUTURE, YOU MAY BE TOO LATE.
BECAUSE IN 1-3 YEARS INTO THE FUTURE THEN I'VE GOT THE FUNDS. THE FUNDS CAN COME FROM SOME INVESTORS, LOANS FROM BANKS OR FROM ADVERTISEMENTS POSTED ON MY BLOG.

IF I'VE GOT A LARGE AMOUNT OF FUNDS THEN I'VE NO NEED OF YOUR FUNDS. SO INVEST NOW OR NOT AT ALL.

My BLOG started to be written January 11, 2015. TODAY, MAY 30, 2015, THE NUMBER OF CLICKS HAS REACHED 56,750. SO FAR SO GOOD.

If I get big funds from investors then with a quick story that I wrote will spread throughout the world.

So I got acceleration because I can put ads in a large variety of media such as Google AdWords, Facebook, and others. I also can perform a variety of other marketing strategies.
If I do not get funding from investors then my story would still spread throughout the world. But with a longer time, Slow but sure.

So either I get funding from investors or not, the story that I wrote will remain spread throughout the world. Ha ... 7x

So don't worry, be happy.

My advice to you is you should think whether the data that I have provided to you makes sense or not .
If my data reasonable then immediately invest your funds as soon as possible.

Then we discuss how we plan further cooperation.


Thank you.
Lord Jesus bless you.
Amen
P.S. The offer letter I gave also to the hedge funds and 

venture capital and other major companies 

in the entire 

world. So who is fast then he will get it.


P.P.S. In addition, there is one more thing I 

want to tell you. If a story can generate tens 

of millions of US dollars, then what if made 


many stories? Then why do not you make 2, 3 or many stories? You will get hundreds of million USD annually.
