Are there any freelance writers out there that need more food on the table? Are you working at a desk job, looking to get a new business started?

Taking the right steps are critical to the success of your business.

This is why WhitePaperSource (sister property to this site) is offering a great TeleClass called, Thriving as a Freelance Copywriter (Becoming Well-Fed With White Papers and Other Writing Projects).

The class is hosted by me and bestselling author Peter Bowerman (see his pic to right), author of The Well-Fed Writer Series.

We will be answering these questions:

• How do I land new projects?
  
• How can I get started as a new freelancer?
• Is there a simple formula for pricing my services?
• What can I do to sell “myself”?
• How can I qualify prospects?
  
• Are there simple steps I can take to ensure a steady stream of opportunity?
• What are the secrets to writing content that leads to sales (such as titles and calls to action)?
• Do I need a marketing background to succeed?
• What are some tips I can use to improve my writing?
• What if I have never written a white paper or other project the client is requesting?
• Should I charge extra for rush jobs?
• Is it wise to pursue opportunities where very specific topical knowledge is suggested?
• How can I ensure repeat business?
  
• Does a certain style of writing sell more than others?
