1. How to Find Freelance Blogging Clients: My Time-Tested
Strategy By Jawad Khan www.WritingMyDestiny.com
2. Content Marketing is on the Rise Content marketing is one of
the fastest growing online industries at the moment. If youre a
freelance writer and blogger, your demand is on a steep rise right
now and, by the look of things, it is only going to increase as
more businesses realize the value of your services.
3. Why Are You Not Taking Advantage? Im sure youve heard all
this before from many other bloggers as well. Im also sure that
every time you read such statements, you immediately wonder what
all the hype is about. In your world, the content marketing boom
doesnt seem to be making any waves. Because its still the same old
story for you lots of unanswered job applications along with a few
low paying gigs.
4. .but that doesnt mean other bloggers are not taking
advantage of the ever expanding online content needs.
5. Differentiate Your Blogging Profile The Only Way to Move
Forward
6. The Strategy that Worked for Me I identified my target
clients and built my profile according to their needs. Let me break
up the whole process for you
7. Step1-Create Content for Your Target Audience Start your own
blog and develop the kind of content that your clients would like
to create for their blogs. Every time you start writing a post, ask
yourself if its something your clients would like to publish as
well.
8. Step 2-Get the Big Names on Your Profile This is where guest
blogging comes in. When you get published on a leading blog of your
niche, it acts as a vote of confidence for your content from that
blog. It shows your clients that your work is good enough to
feature on the most widely followed blogs of their niche. This will
differentiate you from the rest of the crowd and build your brand
image that can be used to attract high paying clients. Read this to
learn more about guest blogging on popular blogs.
9. Step 3-Aggressively Reach Out to Your Target Customers High
quality content on your own blog and a few solid samples on top
niche blogs are enough to get you ready for action Start by
displaying the logos of the top niche blogs, where youve been
featured, on your own blog (Ive done that as well). Also list your
best guest posts on your Hire Me page Show them your best samples
and highlight the blogs that youve been published on. Look for your
potential customers on freelance blogging job portals (learn more),
industry forums and their company websites.
10. The day I added guest blogging samples from Problogger,
Hongkiat, theWriteLife, JeffBullas (view more) to my job
application emails, I started getting positive responses.
11. Conclusion As a freelance blogger, you need to think from
your clients perspective. Understand their challenge, which is to
identify the best bloggers out of hundreds of options. Make their
job easier by building your brand image through smart guest
blogging and aggressive marketing. Im absolutely certain that youll
get the high paying clients that you currently only dream of. To
