The ways to get more clients

Hi, I am an experienced content writer and I have a team of writers. I provide quality content services to my clients. My website is not in a good rank in google and I get few clients from my website. I bid projects in various bidding sites. Side by side, I take projects from forum sites also. Now I want to know the other way to get content writing assignments. It would be helpful for me if I get to know the other ways of getting content writing assignments. Please let me know the other sites or forums that are not very common by I can get good clients who can provide content writing assignment to me.

 

Try visiting LinkedIn, under the jobs section, and see what you can find. There are so many writing job opportunities posted by companies there.

Hope this helps!

 

Try promoting your website through Facebook Page. You can get traffic there and build reputation by having many likes and followers. On the other hand, you can submit to Squidoo, HubPages, ContentBLVD, Helium, Triond, Epinions, Fiverr, Yahoo! Contributor Network,Demand Media Studios,Digital Journal,About.Com, Blogging.Org,Constant Content. There are more sites. These are just few of them.

 

Thank you so much for the information provided by you. Could you plz tell me some other good forum sites apart from digital point and blackhatworld where I can get clients who are looking for content writers or content writing services..

 

You may want to join a couple of communities on G+ similar to this one: https://plus.google.com/communities/100362725611644721766

Granted, it's not going to be a huge exposure, but still, maybe it will give you a couple of customers here and there.

PS I've also checked if there are companies hiring copywriters. There are quite a few. You can refine your search for your specific location: http://fastjobster.com/index.php?pa...bs&contractperiod=&sort=relevance&pagesize=10

 

Nowadays, there are literally too many writers in the market. Everywhere you go, you see writers. No offense, but judging from your writing style, it seems dull and pretty boring.

I am not a writer, by the way, but I know that in order to get great results with your business, you need to stand out. In this case, you should inject your personality into writing or what they call "adding your own voice."

Honestly, you'd be successful in most market places if you are different, you can even charge more. There are too many 5 bucks per article writers out there already. Change something, and I can assure you, the results would be different from what they are now.

 

There should be something unique in your content so that the potential customers will notice you online. Research on the type of content that is being written in your field and write on topics that are un-touched. Also make sure that the titles are extremely impressive, they should make the readers curious to go ahead and click on the article.

 

Fiverr is a pretty decent option, but the starting point is hard, since you have to get good review and at least achieve level 2 seller to really get trust and sales. You could however ask some of your existing clients to buy from you through your new gig to help get your initial sales and reviews.

 

I have to agree with Chad.
I understand that marketing is not your specialty but I'm sure you'll learn about it along the way, most especially now that you want to increase your online presence.
I'm not a writer but I always consider what will catch my audience interests when it comes to promotion.

 

facebook communties, google + communities. Try twitter promotions, bid in freelancer websites.

Quite agree with these posts. The market is overcrowded by so-called 'writers' today. You will always have someone underselling you and most buyers go for the cheapest.
What makes you stand out is uniqueness. Try to give a personal touch to your writing, develop a unique style. It's your greatest safeguard in this cutthroat competition.
At first you might have to work for lower rates to get some work, but as you work your way up, increase your rates steadily. Once you build a good and trustworthy online rep, there's no looking back though.
Research a bit using tools like Google Keyword planner which niches are 'hot', build unique content around untouched topics in those niches and find webmasters/websites that really need and value the content.

 

Hi,
I strongly agree with "Content Maestro", Content writing is a MORE PAIN LOW GAIN activity as per my experience. Another one in similar lines is working on SOFTWARE PROGRAMMING projects like PHP, etc.
There is very heavy competition in these areas, people (especially NEW COMERS) would spend more time submitting proposals than working on any project.

I realized that in my initial years of freelancing and I dropped out pretty quickly from these activities. I choose areas where I get paid reasonably well and also where I can get PAID (ofcourse a little amount) for my past work also.

In Content writing and programming there are COMPANIES doing it 24 x 7 and it would be very hard for an individual to succeed, I donot mean to DISAPPOINT anyone, but this is HARD FACT as per my experience.
Regards,

 

You can try to advertise your website in freelancer websites to gain more clients. Make sure your profile is something that your clients will bank.
