Juggling Freelance Writer Jobs

Posted: Apr 18, 2011 |Comments: 0 |

When your ghostwriting service gets going, you'll find yourself with more freelance writer jobs than you can handle.  And I really mean that - pretty soon they'll be stacking up and you'll be wondering how to get them all done.  There are lots of way so do this, so I'm going to offer one way that works well for me.

One way is to just start on the first one, do it all, do the next, the next, and so on.  This is what I do when I'm a bit behind on things, but ultimately it's pretty tedious.  If you have a pretty mundane job (40 articles on plumbing, for instance), it can be pretty hellish blasting through that.  Even jobs that you enjoy in niches you like can get you burned out if you soldier through them that way.

What I do sometimes is work in shifts.  I take all of my freelance writer jobs and decide in the morning how much I'm going to do on each.  Usually, it's an hour.  So, I start on the first one and work an hour on it.  When the hour's up, I'm done.  Then, I move on to the next one.

It doesn't have to be an hour, but whatever you feel like.  If I've got more jobs to do, I might make it 45 minutes or something like that. 

There are a few benefits to this method:

1) As I mentioned before, it helps to keep you from burning out.

2) You're focusing on each job for a set period of time.  This is sometimes good because you can really get into it.

3) By doing your jobs little by little, it's less stressful as you get close to deadlines.  That's right - this is a great procrastination-busting strategy!

4) You're getting started on every job instead of just one, so if there's a hitch that holds you up, you'll know about it before the day the job's due.

Working as a web content writer and doing it yourself is great, but being organized is a must.  This is a method for handling multiple freelance writer jobs that really works for me.  I'd recommend trying a few different strategies and see what works best for you.

    Have you come across the term, gamification, before? Maybe you have and found you do not quite understand what it means. Put simply, it is a term used to have a person or group of person's complete tasks to gain a reward. More often, the more tasks one completes then more or larger rewards are gained.

    I know a lot of internet marketers at all levels in their careers who are bummed out because they're not getting the results they want. When I ask them how long they've been at it, I'm always surprised by their answers. I hear lots of folks talking about giving up who have only been at it a year or less! It takes time and perseverance before you start making money online. Let's compare making money online with business in the offline world:

    When you're using freelance sites like Elance, feedback is really important. Before hiring you, clients will look at your samples and also your feedback. Unfortunately, even a half a star difference can be the deciding factor in whether you get a job. That's why it's really important to manage your feedback carefully and watch that you don't get bad marks.

    A wonderful article that solves the reader's problem and entertains them along the way isn't going to do you any good without a good resource box. It really has to be perfect. Ask anybody who has split tested resource boxes and they'll tell you that one word switched out here or there could mean a major traffic difference. The success of your article marketing campaign largely depends on not just writing great content, but also writing a great resource box.

    I definitely stand by Elance as the King Of All Freelancer Sites. I used quite a few and I found it to consistently get me quality jobs. I also like the interface and everything else about it. There are lots of good jobs for writers and you can make money there, but there are 4 huge mistakes lots of ghostwriters make.
