How To Take Your Freelance Writing Chances
by: Niall Cinneide

Your initial freelance writing assignments are the best way to present yourself to your client for repeated work. If you provide for them a good product, at a good price, they are likely to come back time and time again. The goal of any career, particularly as a freelancer, is to have steady business. Instead of continually needing new clients or another job to fill your day, why not utilize repeat business? When you make the most of your freelancing time you are helping yourself to gain more business and maintain that which you already have.

For many people getting that first job is the key to success. It is the hardest part of working because more and more people want quality providers and want to use someone who is proven and worth the risk. You cannot get these jobs if you are new. But look at it another way. When you do get to that point, it is important to make the most out of all assignments so that you get return business from that client. This could be any number of things, but should always focus on maintaining a strong working relationship with the client. Providing them with good work, timely work, and listening and meeting their needs will have them coming back to you time and time again.

There is another, even more important, reason to build your business like this. That is referrals. When you do an outstanding job for people, they return time and time again with more business. But, they also tell people about your talents. This can be an outstanding way to use the jobs you get to create more jobs for yourself.

Now, that is not to say that you can not search for new writing job vacancies in other realms as well. But, you must strive to maintain the employment that you already have. By building strong relationships with your clients, you can help them continuously meet their needs while building your business.

*Seeking Personal Stories (Common Ties -Portland, Oregon )

Common Ties (www.CommonTies.com) is an interactive travel blog that collects people's personal stories. Elizabeth Armstrong Moore, who freelances for The Christian Science Monitor, Portland Monthly, and Willamette Week, and her twin brother and producer James Armstrong, have been on the road since mid-September posting stories about the people they meet.
Due to the large volume of stories they have encountered already, the twins have decided to supplement their travel stories with personal stories submitted by writers living in the Pacific Northwest, where they are currently traveling. There is a guideline fee of $200 for the ones they publish. Details are below.

As part of their tour you can meet Elizabeth and James this weekend – on Friday, Oct. 6, from 4pm to 7pm on the back deck of Night Light (2100 SE Clinton), and on Saturday and Sunday Oct. 7 and 8 from 1pm to 4pm at Stumptown's downtown location (128 SW 3rd Ave). At both locations they will provide free drinks to prospective writers for the site. They would love to meet professional writers as well as college students who are interested in submitting personal stories. You do not have to be a professional writer to stop by or to write for Common Ties. You only need a willingness to write great personal stories!

The twins had a successful meeting with writers in Eugene on Sept. 30 and will host another meeting with prospective writers in Seattle on Oct. 13, 14, and 15, as part of our tour of the Pacific Northwest. (Seattle details will be posted next week)

The kinds of stories they are looking for include those found in the "Lives" column on the back page of the New York Times Magazine or showcased on the radio show "This American Life" or in the audio project StoryCorps.net. Anything goes, so long as the story is personal and true – and you will even have the choice to be anonymous should the subject matter be so personal you'd rather not give your name. For more please see "Writers Guidelines" below.

If you're interested in the project come meet Elizabeth and James in person, or e-mail them at *********. You do not have to attend to submit stories, but we hope to meet you soon! Stories should start appearing by late October.

Writers Guidelines for www.CommonTies.com

1. Word length. The site does not accept stories longer than 2,000 words, less than 1,000 is far preferred. 2. Story type. The site is interested in personal stories, whether told in the 1st person about yourself or in the 3rd about people you know. Personal stories can involve breaking news if you were a part of that story – for instance, Elizabeth reported on 9/11 from Ground Zero, thus her first-person account of the week would be one type of personal story. When writing about others please state explicitly in your submission that you have obtained permission from those in the story to publish. 3. Pay. Our fee guideline is $200 per published story. But it is only a guideline. You can suggest a higher or lower fee depending upon what you think is an acceptable level given the quality of the story and your past publishing experience. Payment will be made through PayPal®, and our goal is to make payments within five days of your work being accepted – which will usually be in advance of publication. 4. Contracts. Once your work has been accepted you will be asked to sign a simple agreement electronically acknowledging that this is your own work, the story is true, you are liable for the content, and it has not been published previously. Stories cannot be paid for or published otherwise. 5. Rights. Writers retain the rights to the stories they publish on Common Ties, allowing them to be publish these stories elsewhere in the future. 6. Communication. Because the twins are on the road clocking in seven days a week they will only have the time to communicate using form acceptance and rejection letters. 7. Editing. Stories will not be edited, except for minor copy edits to correct spelling and punctuation, and the twins will not provide feedback on any of the stories they accept or reject. 8. Media. All stories must be written, but any can also include jpeg and mp3 files that total less than 10 megs should you have photographs and/or audio clips that enrich the stories. You will not be paid separately for this material, although it may increase your chance of being published. The site is not accepting video at this time. 9. Anonymity. We will need your name and address should we publish your story, but you can choose to remain anonymous on the site if you prefer to not have a byline. 10. Contributor information. If you choose to use your byline, which we encourage, please submit a few short sentences that include: your name, your hometown, where you currently reside, and if you have been published where. 11. Comments. All stories posted to Common Ties will be open to comments by readers, and you can respond to their comments by submitting your own. 12. Quality. You may have several powerful personal stories, but they must be written well if they are to be accepted. Quality of writing is of paramount importance. 13. Quantity. You may submit as many stories as you like and you may edit your own work and resubmit rejected stories as well. We are not limiting number of submissions in any way. If we reject your story we encourage you to try again! 14. Stories should be submitted to ********
and can be cut and pasted into the email itself or using Word, jpeg, and mp3 attachments.
