While there are many ways you can build up and make a blog profitable, one of the most methods to make money is also one of the known. All you need to do is to find clients, the writing part usually comes a bit easier.

Many freelance have understood that they have a more difficult to make profits from services like adsense or kontera than the actual writing procedure.

Write for clients can be one trends to follow and one of the most importants strategies which can contribute to your success as web pubblisher.The first thing to do is to learn how to find freelance writing clients.

For those trying to make a living from their writing this can be a frustrating experience. Every freelance has a different strategy and communication approach with freelance writing clients. Here, is my tips:

1) Cold calling. I believe, cold calling is a great way for freelance writers to find new clients as well. People can ignore emails but an approaching prospective customers or clients, via telephone is more difficult. The person receiving the call is not expecting a call is hard for them not to listen. There are many sales people that make their living by cold calling potential clients.

2) Cold emailing. I like because it’s simple, and I think many freelance writers are making quite successful with this way. Especially when my family are sleeping, or when I can’t call anyway, I target an industry where I can send an email addresses on the websites and send them my cold email.

Below, an example of cold email (Thanks Ari Galper):

Dear John,

Not sure if you can help me, but thought you could possibly point me in the right direction.
(By starting off from a position of humility rather than with the typical assumptive introduction, and by asking for help, this e-mail gives the reader a chance to either tell the sender that he has reached the right person or to refer him on to someone else. )

Would you happen to know who in your organization would be responsible for diagnosing and solving productivity issues related to your technology infrastructure — specifically, underperforming servers, outdated software upgrades, or out-of-date computer hardware? (Rather than offering solutions, the writer is addressing very some real problems and issues that may exist in the reader’s company. In other words, the e-mail is about the receiver, not the sender. Also, the writer doesn’t mention any demonstration because problems must always come first, and the solutions later. )
I’m with XYZ company, and we specifically help companies solve these types of issues.
( This reinforces that the writer’s company solves problems.)

Any help you could provide would be very graciously appreciated. ( This statement expresses the warmth of the writer’s gratitude in advance.)

Warmest regards, (The warmth of this closing humanizes the whole communication. )

3) Build a contact page. Freelance clients, must having the possibility to be easily find through a contact information webpage. It’s always a great boon. One of my first nice experience was when I was contacted from TNX team to write a post review for them. I like write for this type of industry. Are always welcome on my website. The money was not the best but it showed that contact information page have a place in the lives of freelance writers.

4) Job site. There are many the offer job places for many freelance. Some of the most popular sites for freelance are:

• elance.com
• jobs.problogger.net
• getafreelancer.com

Which is better? sending cold emails to prospective clients, or calling them on the phone? I prefer cold calling to ask for the best email address possible, and then warm emailing the contact.
