For most freelance writers, December means beginning year-end tasks. It means wrapping up any loose ends in their business and preparing for a new year and plan. This year, though, I’m networking and prospecting, and clients are emailing or DMing me on LinkedIn. Prospects will DM you! And, you know what will happen?

As a freelancer, I am my brand. This means working with your clients to identify the emotions being felt by their own customers and prospects. As a freelancer, you also need to “get emotional”. As well as leaning into emotion for your client work, you need to do the same with marketing your own services as a freelancer.

Maybe you think we all have to compete with other freelancers. It’s a rare thing to have a client who is never going to be approached by other freelancers. And those companies hiring freelancers are always comparing freelancers, by skill set and by price. Even so, I don’t compete with other freelancers. No thanks.
