Ep. 75 - How to Reinvent Yourself as a Freelancer - with John McCoy

Niche Down is the Key to SuccessJohn McCoy, Freelance Blog Writer (@johnmccoywrites on Twitter) joins me to talk about how to become a freelancer.

• Niche down - set yourself apart from everyone else by writing for your niche. You will be able to get focused jobs and can charge more for your expertise.

• If you are in the trades, there is a need for writers.

• How to find clients, especially the "sticky" clients.

• Use Upwork - it is always a hot client who has posted their need.

• Learn how to sell yourself.
