Do you know how to use Linkedin to find remote wri Do you know how to use Linkedin to find remote writing jobs on demand?

📝 Navigate to the jobs section and search for new jobs (within the past week or month). Be sure to toggle the "Remote" filter—or hybrid, if you're open to being on-site sometimes.

📝 When you find one you're interested in, you can usually apply with one or two clicks. Just make sure your current profile reflects the opportunities you're looking for. 

💡 Hot tip: Many clients who source writers through LinkedIn confess that they get sent hundreds of leads to sort through, made even more daunting by the fact that there aren't cover letters included in the one-click submission model. 

Find ways to stand out, whether you reach out to someone at the company and introduce yourself, engage with their social media, or submit your details through an additional channel.

(Just be sure to follow all submission rules so you don't get an instant rejection.)

It's the first day of spring! 🌷 Here are 3 ways It's the first day of spring! 🌷 Here are 3 ways to hit refresh on your writing career.

1️⃣ Audit your offerings
Trying to market everything from email blasts to white paper writing? Try narrowing down to a few premium services. This is a great way to build a strong, niched-down portfolio that makes you an easy "yes" for your ideal client.

2️⃣ Clarify your ideal client
Feeling "off" about one (or more) of your clients these days? Shed any working relationships that aren't working. If you're held in place by a contract, mark the break-up date on the calendar and start looking for leads that feel more aligned while you finish up that project.

3️⃣ Spruce up your space
Don't underestimate the power of a clean desk, fresh air, and your favorite writing tunes. Spend a day making a spring playlist, deep-cleaning your workspace, and maybe even buying a cheery spring candle or two. It can make a big difference!

What's your favorite way to celebrate spring?
🌷💐🌼🌸
