When fellow freelance writers ask me what they can do to get their work out there, I can't recommend blogging enough. Sure, there are other great techniques I recommend as well. But blogging is high on the list.
Why blogging?
Blogging flexes your creative muscles in between work for clients. It can be used as stress relief, too. But even more importantly, it keeps your work flowing.
When readers and potential clients see your name going up frequently, it shows that you are dedicated to your work. Blogging gains readership that may follow your other work. It also puts your writing in front of more people, which can lead to great client work. If you have a website related to your freelance writing (which every writer should), it can keep your site's rankings up.
