Don't Take On More Than You Can Handle

Every morning you start your day with a look at the latest job boards and listings on www.freelancewriting.com. If you apply to enough of them each day then you will certainly have a paying gig in no time. But be careful. It's easy to end up with too much work and then you will be forced to turn clients down.

Too much work may sound like a good thing but truth be told, it isn't. If enough clients reply to you and all have work they need done, you won't be able to meet the demands. Each job should be given special attention as if it's the most important job. This way no client will receive your work and feel that you did less than your best.

Knowing when to turn down work is vital. As much as you'd like to say yes to every offer, it's just not possible. And no matter what you should never let down a regular client. People that you work for often and regularly should always come first. After all, they're the ones keeping you employed. Don't make them regret it.
