Let’s face it, we all love long term writing jobs. They offer a degree of safety you don’t get if every writing job you have lasts for just a few short articles. It’s good to have a mix of different article jobs and blog posts and so on, but having some long term work in the mix as well offers a degree of stability.
And I think I may have broken my record on this one this week. I have agreed to write a 52 week course for a new client. So that means I have to deliver one part each week for the next year. Overall it will be a good payment and even each individual part will be a good payout as they will be several pages long. So while I won’t pay the bills with each individual piece alone, they will each go a long way towards making each week a successful one over the next year.
I am also ramping up my efforts to bring in more new clients – and one incident this week really made me question the power of thinking along the right lines!
You see, I applied for a writing job back at the end of October last year (Hallowe’en actually, so I don’t know if spooks were at work here…). We went back and forth with a couple of emails and that was about it.
But this week they got back in touch and I’m all set to go with five articles for them next week. Wow! How’s that for a late reply? They want at least two articles a week ongoing, it’s the kind of work I LOVE doing, it falls into one of my personal favourite niches and it should be regular work if all goes well. I’ll let you know how it pans out.
So it’s been a good week (apart from the head cold, but that’s another story). How has your week panned out for you?
