Are you tired of telemarketers annoying you during work hours? Worse yet, do they call on the weekends or while you are trying to eat dinner? If so, you should do your part in stopping the madness. One of the best ways you can do this is by becoming familiar with a website service such as PhoneSpamFilter.com.
Generally speaking, PhoneSpamFilter is easy to understand and simple to get along with. When a telemarketer calls, head for this site to submit the phone number. This alone will go a long way in helping to cut back on the number of annoying calls that are placed to millions of people throughout the year.
What if I don’t live in the United States? After all, Americans are not the only ones who have to deal with telemarketers. Fortunately, PhoneSpamFilter also offers international services for those in Australia, New Zealand, France, and the United Kingdom.
Instead of dealing with telemarketers why not do your part in slowing this industry down. It only takes a few seconds to report a call, and in the long run you are helping yourself as well as many others. Imagine a life without annoying phone calls bugging you at the worst time of the day.
I enjoy reading internet marketing blogs that discuss how to make money online, build a business, etc. That being said, there is a trend that has been getting under my skin as of late. It seems as if more and more people are spreading the news about how easy it is to become a freelance writer. On one hand I agree that breaking into the business can be simple if you have the right skills and determination. But on the other hand, there are entirely too many people promoting the fact that anybody can make money as a “freelance writer.â€
Through my research it appears that most of these people feel that being a freelance writer is nothing more than churning out cheap content for online clients. In my opinion, this does not make for a freelance writer. Sure, it is a form of writing and there is nothing wrong with it. But there are two things that bother me: 1. Many of these writers don’t care about their clients or the quality of their work. 2. They feel that their low quality content is the same as what every freelance writer offers. While there is no rule saying you must care about clients and offer quality work, it is something that most true freelance writers realize is very important. Secondly, there is a big difference between writing cheap keyword articles and offering professionally copywriting services. I think that most professional freelance writers will agree with this.
This post is not meant to scare people away from freelance writing or to talk down on others. But it is meant to show the difference between those who write low quality content on the cheap and those who offer professional copywriting services.
In the end, I am glad for anybody who can make a living as a freelance writer. If you truly care about your clients and the content you produce there is no denying that this is a career that can be lucrative and exciting.Â
I always find it easy to work with clients who have been around for many months. In fact, I have some clients who have been sending work my way for several years. We have a good relationship, and it is always easy to ask questions, make suggestions, etc. But of course, breaking in new clients is part of the freelance writing business. If you want to expand your career you must be willing to work with new clients on a regular basis. Remember, every long term client started out at the same place.
The most important aspect of breaking in a new client is to get off on the right foot. In other words, you don’t want to start your relationship with a misunderstanding or a missed deadline. It is very important that you value every client relationship. If you forget to do this it is safe to say that many of your new clients will not be around for the long haul.
When breaking in a client it is essential to: 1. Show them how you work 2. Learn as much as you can about them. Remember that your client is going to be attempting to break you in as their writer. For this reason it is important to show the client how you work from day one. This includes everything from communication to progress updates and much more. Secondly, you want to learn as much as you can about your new clients. Where are they located? Who is your primary contact? What industry are they in? The more you know the better off you will be.
The way you break in one client may not be the same as the next. I have had some who want to get acquainted through a conference call, and others that send a quick email and tell me to get started. As a freelance writer you should be excited anytime you have the chance to work with a new client. This means you are expanding your client base and in turn earning more money. Does it get any better than that?Â
