"Email templates you can use to pitch your service(s) to clients"

For freelance writers, designers, developers and marketers

A Thread.
Freelancing sites are not the only place you can find work.

In a previous thread, I showed you how to get freelance and remote gigs through sending of cold emails, twitter and google. Most of these methods involve contacting the clients directly and sending your pitch via email.
I can’t stress it enough how important your first email really is. This is the email that your potential clients are going to use to analyze you and your skills.

"Hacks on how to find remote jobs through cold emailing, google, and twitter"

For freelancers and remote job seekers!

A Thread
You may be excited to start looking for remote jobs, but it requires careful planning and decision-making to job search effectively. For instance, going in unprepared may lead you to send out an application that’s a very bad fit for the position, killing your opportunity.
Do you want to be a content writer? Are you more interested in SEO or email marketing? Once your decision is clear, come up with a list of terms to use in your search.

Here are some examples:

VP marketing
Content manager
Copywriter
SEO specialist

"20 copywriting tools/resources for freelancers and agencies and how they work"

A Thread
If you just want to get to the juicy bits, please feel free to skip. But if you’re wondering why I chose to pursue a career as a freelance copywriter, then read on! My name is Olamide and I’ve worked in digital space for quite some years now.
I’ve been lucky enough to work for an agency, for myself and even a short stint in-house at the beginning of my career. I’ve worked in paid social media, PPC and SEO…so why did I leave that all behind for copywriting? For me, it was a personal choice.

September 7, 2020 - The first time he sent me a DM on WhatsApp! Check the dates. See ehn, if you wanna do great stuff, you've got to be bold to make smart moves.
$1450 gig paaaaam! There's money in freelancing. You've got to learn how to position and market yourself as a freelancer. The people who tell you you can't earn a consistent income from freelancing are ignorant, lying or both.

"A complete list of top freelance sites for writers and how they work"

A Thread
Freelance writers will often ask me for the best freelance writing sites to find paid work online. And while there are a ton of sites that can help you find freelance work generally, you’re better served looking to freelance writing sites specifically.
Instead of playing the networking game, waiting for referrals, or playing the content creation game and hoping something comes through eventually, these freelance writing sites put thousands of online writing jobs at your fingertips today.

So let’s jump into my favorites!
