Marketing yourself as a freelancer outside of places such as Fiverr and Upwork seems easy enough but once you get around to that marketing and trying to reach clients for jobs, that is when you realize there is much more to it than you thought.
When it comes to marketing yourself as a freelancer in places such as Fiverr and Upwork, how have you found works best as a method for marketing?
A portfolio and LinkedIn. A portfolio not only showcases my work, but it is also something I can point to when clients ask if I have worked in a specific niche or done specific types of writing.
LinkedIn is a place to curate your writing, engage with other writers, and in writing communities where you can engage with other writers who are, hopefully, looking for help with some of their tasks or projects. Creating relations like these is a great way of marketing yourself and your work.
