  2. Introduction Are you not able to write attractive freelance writing pitch? Your only purpose is to translate your freelance pitch into a profitable writing job. Isn’t it? You might spend umpteen hours writing pitches and applying for new freelance writing jobs. Everybody wants to convert their writing pitch into writing work. If you are facing trouble for sending out your pitches and getting nothing. Here  we are providing  some tips that will enhance  your chances of getting  freelance writing pitches and the common mistakes you might be making.

  3. Your Freelance Writing Pitch Learning of the Business  Finding the company or blog on Linkedln and checking them out would be the first thing that you need to do in order to apply for a freelance writing job. For this you need to see their website, look at how many people they have on board and if they have a blog. Besides, check out their social media profiles as well. This all  information can assist you in customizing and tailoring your writing pitch. Read the Job Board Pitch The first three lines writing job that you will get might be from a job board, so you need to read the job ad first. This will make you comprehend of exactly the type of the writing job that board is seeking. Also there is a need to ad something extra in your writing pitch such as your freelance writing rate or samples. 

  4. Your Email Subject Matters You might be aware of the fact that your writing pitch is going to complete among numerous other emails. What can make your email subject stand out, think about it. Don’t be over anxious, you just need to make your email readable. Generally two things stand out to the client. First, the email header works like an article header so it should be read with the right capitalized words.  Second, concern  for the headlines in a competition such as,   “job application for…” or “interested in writing job…” then my email would be more promising. This is because of the benefits that i will show to them. For cold pitching to potential clients, you still want to get their heed along  with a good email subject line. Albeit,their might be a chance that a person is getting request from PR individuals as well which more likely go to the trash bin.  Make sure that your emails doesn’t sound like another PR emails.

  5. Be Short and Sweet • In this busy schedule people don’t have much time to devote to emails from an unknown sender. They just devote few seconds to such kind of emails.  • So, make sure that the reader need not to be regret after readiing your long string sentences.  • If i share my experience with you, i would like to tell you  that i never read emails that are two long that i receive from marketer. •  Get straight to the point by answering these following key questions. • Why me? • Who are you? • What about your experience? • Where can I find out more? • Why do I need you? • Make your answer concrete for the clients response.

  6. Create Link to Your Profile or Work The best thing is to link to a profile that is easily accessible. Do link the text in the body and include it at the end while you are emailing. A year old portfolio can also work for this. There doesn’t any kind of hindrance from getting work in case you are lacking of a portfolio or site. Make Each Freelance Writing Pitch personal Don’t take help of copy and paste technique. Instead, get the first name of the person you are emailing. Use phrases like “Good morning, Jamini,” or “Good afternoon, Robert,” to make your freelance writing more personal. Addressing with sir/madam sounds too old. Also, make them know how you found them. I will request to connect if I found them on Linkedin. It’s just an another step to make sure you are in that person’s mind.  Don’t worry if you are using template in some parts of your writing pitch.It’s okay if some parts of your writing pitch is a template. 

  7. Don’t Share Too Much Although, it’s okay to personalize your pitches, but,  don’t share all your writing jobs or your introduction to freelance writing. Your pitch should be short and sweet and that means only sharing what is important for the client –  such as your writing samples and credibility in your writing niche. There is no need  to share a really nice testimonial from a previous gig in your pitch email in order to convince a prospect. Use only 300-400 words for your email.

  8. Remove place for Doubt Use strong and confident words  for your freelance writing pitch. Do you truly believe you are the best match for the job? Dont say you are new writer or you are entering in the new field. Say bye bye to the words like “I hope” or “I think.” Make your each and every sentence a confident one. Dont be too  prideful or egotistical, but you are in a search of the potential client to feel confident in hiring you. Also, do not make them feel that they are about to take a risk. Use a pitching tracker for  Your Writing Pitches Yes, using a pitching tracker in  freelance writing planner is the best idea to keep track of who you pitch and what you pitch.. This helps in deciding which places are more converting.

If you see that your freelance writing pitch isn’t working for you, then this is  the time to  bring changes.
