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?
🌷💐🌼🌸

Unsure which domain to use for your freelance writ Unsure which domain to use for your freelance writing website? Here are 3 approaches to consider:

🖥️✨ Use your name
Naming your website domain after yourself (or your DBA) can help build recognition, especially if you have a memorable name.

🖥️✨ Use your business name
Using your business name (ie: Good Copy LLC) allows you to separate yourself from your freelance writing identity.

🖥️✨ Use your niche
Using your niche allows your target client to find you easily in search (and this builds up SEO cred over time).

Did you use one of these strategies? Something else? Share your freelance writing website in the comments! 👇

* Be sure to honor any contractual obligations (and consider them lessons for the next project).
