Freelance Writing And A Great Work Ethic
This is an absolute must. When you make a commitment, a week’s deadline is just that – a week. Better still, 6 days. Not 10 days, two weeks, maybe never? If you don’t honour deadlines, you are going to be leaving a lot of disgruntled clients in your wake – and that means so many fewer job opportunities. When clients feel they can trust you to be responsible, they will always come back.
Make sure you check your copy well before you send it off. Keep your Spell Checker on and run through it twice after putting your ‘Zoom into Page’ at 150%. That way, the errors will jump off the page. Then put your work through a plagiarism checker. There are two free ones I use: PlagiarismDetect and articlechecker. Of course, the ideal thing to do when you have started writing and making a few bucks is to go join up the paid service of Copyscape.
