How To Find High-Paying Clients With The Writers' Co-op

We’ve talked about strategies to find new clients and work on a variety of social media platforms, including Twitter and LinkedIn… (recordings are accessible on our resource store)

But how can you guarantee that your new client will pay you well? Even looking at job boards can be discouraging at times when it seems like clients want to hire freelancers, but only for low rates.

In this one-hour webinar, our two guests will join TWC to share their strategies on how they find and strategically target higher-paying clients. We'll discuss the benefits of cold-pitching versus working within your network, and whether or not you should list your rates in an introductory email. (And it’s worth defining here that we’ll consider anything above $100 an hour to be ‘high-paying.’ )
