Blogging besides a common past-time, has also become a major business tool. Many businesses use it, but not all of them need or can afford a full time blogger. This means if a person has the skills, and can do good well constructed blogs, there is an endless market for them. Showing the work samples a writer can do online, can help draw a lot of business their way.
Freelance writing is a very diverse market. Every writer has their niche(s), and every niche has a market. The internet is a wide open marketplace that can be used to market one’s skills. And because of this, it is also where a lot of potential clients are looking. Marketing in newspapers, and journals can help, but the internet today is much stronger a tool. And it reaches every country in the world, so the chances of getting picked up, is much higher.
Just as with potential clients can come from around the world, connections that can help the writer find leads. Marketing boards for freelancers are in every major country. A previous client in India, can refer you to a gig in Austalia. Something that would be very hard if not impossible via print. Or even someone that the writer worked with, like a Graphic Artist from Italy, might become a connection that both help refer the other to new clients.
Some freelance writers have one niche they write in, but most have a couple they specialize, and some they are good at. What the internet does is allow a much wider and diverse market to access. One writer can access any market, they feel they are good at, and do it at once. Without having to set an add for each skill, they can market themselves with all their skills in one neat package. Thus, by doing so, reach multiple markets at once.
