Paula, you are one of the wisest freelancers I know. Great observation! Yes, more services were offered. I loved your mask-making marketing. That was brilliant.

I hope they do use you, Paula. You’re a terrific writer.

It sounds as if instead of expanding the number of potential clients to approach, you expanded what you can offer them. A big lesson we all learned – or should have learned – in 2020 is that we all need an extra hand with something.

Knowing one editor at a publication I’ve written numerous articles for (it stopped using freelancers as of last March) decided to quit at the end of 2020, I sent the remaining editor a Happy New Year message, noting that I would be happy to lend a hand as needed – even for non-bylined work. He said they still aren’t using freelancers, but told me they just added another publication, so he may very well be in touch.

Well, I guess I should start! I put a to-do item on the calendar for later today.

Joy, I took a page from your last email to me about you doing that very thing. I’m looking at places that support my main specialty, but may have similar needs.

How’s it going with the expansion?

I’m sensing/fearing that this year might be slimmer than last year (I work for several universities, for instance), so I’m thinking of how I could expand my marketing to build on the experience I already have.
