If my slump was any indication, you’re probably already getting requests for work, so enjoy the downtime while you can. And thanks for some novel marketing tips.

I never thought about placing an ad on Craigslist. Makes perfect sense though.

I like Devon’s idea too.

I’ll definitely be trying some of these. Thanks for sharing them. 🙂

I managed to get a job from someone else for that very reason. They weren’t thrilled with their last writer.

Chances are, they got what they paid for, but it wasn’t what they wanted, and now they’re ready to spend the money on a pro.

I’ve landed a couple of sweet gigs from that.

I keep a Pitch Track log and go back every few months to keep in touch.
