your network, you’ll be
able to ask if any
companies are looking
for freelancers
.

You never know when a fellow freelancer
might be overloaded and looking to give away some extra
work.
![Page 15: Advice for Freelancers Who Are Thinking of Giving Up](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062902/58eed3cc1a28ab0e0e8b463d/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)

work isn’t sustaining
you… Worrying about it isn’t going to pay your bills.

Finally, and this is something very few freelancers do…
![Page 28: Advice for Freelancers Who Are Thinking of Giving Up](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062902/58eed3cc1a28ab0e0e8b463d/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)

And
![Page 30: Advice for Freelancers Who Are Thinking of Giving Up](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062902/58eed3cc1a28ab0e0e8b463d/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
The best clients to pitch your services are
the ones who are already happy with
your quality of work.
![Page 31: Advice for Freelancers Who Are Thinking of Giving Up](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062902/58eed3cc1a28ab0e0e8b463d/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)

advantage to keep
your project
calendar full all week long.

A good rule of thumb
is...
![Page 33: Advice for Freelancers Who Are Thinking of Giving Up](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062902/58eed3cc1a28ab0e0e8b463d/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
If things aren’t
going as you’d hope,
spend as much time marketing
as you normally would on
client work.
![Page 34: Advice for Freelancers Who Are Thinking of Giving Up](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062902/58eed3cc1a28ab0e0e8b463d/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Tony Robbins
is fond of saying, “Where
focus goes, energy flows.”
![Page 35: Advice for Freelancers Who Are Thinking of Giving Up](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062902/58eed3cc1a28ab0e0e8b463d/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Market your services enough each day and you’ll soon be busier (and better-
paid) than you’d ever hope.
![Page 36: Advice for Freelancers Who Are Thinking of Giving Up](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062902/58eed3cc1a28ab0e0e8b463d/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
3. Raise Your Fees
![Page 37: Advice for Freelancers Who Are Thinking of Giving Up](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062902/58eed3cc1a28ab0e0e8b463d/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
Do you spend all day writing blogs and articles, web pages and sales copy, and still struggle with
bills?
![Page 38: Advice for Freelancers Who Are Thinking of Giving Up](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062902/58eed3cc1a28ab0e0e8b463d/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
That’s a good sign that your
fees are far too low!
![Page 39: Advice for Freelancers Who Are Thinking of Giving Up](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062902/58eed3cc1a28ab0e0e8b463d/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
Hopefully you’re not trying to
make ends meet by writing for content mills.
![Page 40: Advice for Freelancers Who Are Thinking of Giving Up](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062902/58eed3cc1a28ab0e0e8b463d/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
That’s a good way to stay
busy and end up broke.
![Page 41: Advice for Freelancers Who Are Thinking of Giving Up](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062902/58eed3cc1a28ab0e0e8b463d/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
Instead, find out
how much your fellow freelancers
are charging for the projects
you’re accustomed
to completing.
![Page 42: Advice for Freelancers Who Are Thinking of Giving Up](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062902/58eed3cc1a28ab0e0e8b463d/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
Those freelance writing communities we referred
to earlier are good places to ask about
going rates for blogs, web copy and other
projects.
![Page 43: Advice for Freelancers Who Are Thinking of Giving Up](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062902/58eed3cc1a28ab0e0e8b463d/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
You can also get going
rates from the Writer’s Market.
![Page 44: Advice for Freelancers Who Are Thinking of Giving Up](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062902/58eed3cc1a28ab0e0e8b463d/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
To raise your fees far
beyond the ones you’re
used to charging
requires you to do something
that’s not easy to do...
![Page 45: Advice for Freelancers Who Are Thinking of Giving Up](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062902/58eed3cc1a28ab0e0e8b463d/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
Believe in yourself.
![Page 46: Advice for Freelancers Who Are Thinking of Giving Up](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062902/58eed3cc1a28ab0e0e8b463d/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
You must have the confidence in yourself and your abilities, and you must communicate your worth to clients you work with.
![Page 47: Advice for Freelancers Who Are Thinking of Giving Up](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062902/58eed3cc1a28ab0e0e8b463d/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)
You can double
or even triple
your fees for new clients you’re marketing your services to.
![Page 48: Advice for Freelancers Who Are Thinking of Giving Up](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062902/58eed3cc1a28ab0e0e8b463d/html5/thumbnails/48.jpg)
As Wayne Gretzky
once said,
“You miss 100% of the shots you don’t take.”

Eventually that one whale of a client will say, “Yes” to your
new fee demands.

expand your reach and build a network of fellow
freelancers...

Raise Your Fees.

You’ll never find yourself thinking about quitting that business ever again.
![Page 56: Advice for Freelancers Who Are Thinking of Giving Up](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062902/58eed3cc1a28ab0e0e8b463d/html5/thumbnails/56.jpg)

SO put the AboveTasks on your To-do List,
![Page 58: Advice for Freelancers Who Are Thinking of Giving Up](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062902/58eed3cc1a28ab0e0e8b463d/html5/thumbnails/58.jpg)
Work on these three points everyday.
![Page 59: Advice for Freelancers Who Are Thinking of Giving Up](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062902/58eed3cc1a28ab0e0e8b463d/html5/thumbnails/59.jpg)
Soon you’ll ever
wonder why you
ever considered resigning from this
dream business
in the first place.
