7 tips for HOW (not where) to find writing assignments

Clients are looking for a writer like you… [The Writer’ s Life]( March 12, 2024 "Everything comes to him who hustles while he waits." – Thomas Edison Hi {NAME}, One of the questions I frequently get asked is, "Where do I find clients?" It's an important question because the answer is critical to your success as a well-PAID writer. That's why every program we create not only teaches skills … but also HOW to find clients who will gladly PAY you for your newfound skills. White Paper expert Gordon Graham says this is an important difference in the question to ask when you're starting out … HOW rather than where. He says that simply reframing the way you approach finding clients makes all the difference. Today he explains why, and then outlines a seven-step checklist you can follow to virtually guarantee your success. Of course, he's the one to listen to — he's literally called That White Paper Guy … writing 300 white papers and counting over the last 20 years. Gordon charges [around $1,000 per page for each white paper]( he writes — making this one of the highest-paid writing opportunities around. And he is constantly turning away clients — over 75 a year … Because the demand for white papers is much higher than the supply of trained white paper writers! Marketers struggle to find writers who can handle this critical piece of their content marketing strategy. With the proper training, you could help them … and master a perfect writing gig that could set you up for life. [This is that training.]( 🙂 To help aspiring writers, Gordon has dedicated a lot of energy to setting up best practices and formulas for writing successful white papers.
