STOP! These outreach mistakes are costing you clie

STOP! These outreach mistakes are costing you clients...
🚫 STOP talking about yourself in the first sentence: You'll lose their attention instantly with cliche lines about how experienced you are. Instead, open with something about THEM. Their company, their project, their goals. That's how you keep them reading instead of deleting your email.

🚫 STOP stuffing your first message with too much information: The goal is to start the conversation and take that first step toward building a relationship. If your first email is a full-on pitch, your outreach becomes transactional. Your potential client has no reason to care yet, so why are you talking numbers?

🚫 STOP offering them everything under the sun: Too many offerings will prove that you don't actually know what they want or need. What is your client looking for right now and how can you address that need with a specific service or package? Make it easy to say yes instead of overwhelming them.

🚫 STOP sending a link to your website: From a client's POV, a generic website link is one of the most annoying things to receive. Who has time to sort through pages and find relevant samples? While you're proud of your website, just link them to one specific page that contains the samples they need to see.

What's your experience? What other tips would you give your fellow freelancers?

#MondayMotivation ☕️ Feeling resistant to your

#MondayMotivation ☕️ Feeling resistant to your writing tasks this week? We can ALL relate. But if you can understand why you're self-sabotaging, you'll have a better chance of avoiding productivity-zapping patterns.⠀
⠀
Resistance is a message telling us we need to check in with something we're experiencing, whether it's a need to rest, some unresolved limiting beliefs about our abilities, a fear of success or change, etc.⠀
⠀
Meditate or journal on your procrastination and resistance today and see if you can unearth any helpful insights. What is it shielding you from? How is it benefiting you? The more we know ourselves, the more efficiently we can design our workdays.⠀
⠀
Remember: The work needs to get done, obviously! But freelancing allows us to decide when and how. Don't force yourself to work in ways that don't work for you.⠀
⠀
☀️ Feeling a little "blah" on Monday mornings? Check-in with FWC! We're dropping tips for getting invigorated and reinspired to start each week strong. Help the community by dropping your own tips below!

#MondayMotivation ☕️ It's a new week... and it's the perfect time to re-write your goals! What are your freelance goals for this week, month or year? If you haven't set any, spend some time thinking about them today.⠀
⠀
Getting in touch with your short and long-term goals can help you shake off distractions and refocus your attention. That pesky project you don't feel like doing? It's actually a stepping stone to the life you want! Success happens day by day, drip by drip, deadline by deadline.⠀
⠀
(Write that down somewhere. 😉)⠀
⠀
Let's make it a great week, freelance writing fam!⠀

[IG deleted this post TWICE and I have no idea why. I can't imagine how posting about women writers could be an issue?! Here it is again! Fingers crossed that 3rd time's a charm 😳]

This is it! We’ve arrived at our final installment of our #InternationalWomensDay and #WomensHistoryMonth celebration. Last month we posted an open call asking freelance writing women in our community and peer communities to share their experiences—and biggest lessons. For the past week, we’ve been sharing those responses and the insights have been golden. If you missed our previous posts, check them out here. Let’s finish strong with our final five writers.

Let’s face it: Freelance writing is a unique and varied career path. One freelancer’s experience can be completely different from another. That’s why it’s so valuable to hear the perspectives of our peers. Last month, in anticipation of #InternationalWomensDay and #WomensHistoryMonth, we asked some of the freelance writing women to share their experiences.

We’re thrilled to present another roundup of writers who are out there making their careers happen. Taking action = gaining insight, and these freelancers are sharing their biggest lessons so you can get ahead of the game. If you’re unsure where to start—or how to keep going—this post is for you.
