When you are just a beginner and have no particular
client base, the easiest way to get orders and money is to find a custom
writing service and work there. However, even clients of a custom writing
service prefer authors with experience to newbies, and because of that a
beginner rarely gets a decent order. You either get to write a difficult
assignment for a low price, or a small and insignificant text for a low price.
Both ways you don’t get the credit and the payment you deserve.
However, I know several tips that might help you attract
a good customer.
First, don’t forget to provide work samples. Yes, I
know you haven’t got a single order so far – so what? Just write an essay on
any topic you wish. There is no need to make it long – 350-600 words will be
enough. The essay sample is necessary, because in most cases this is the only
way a customer might find out about your skills and writing style (by looking
at your previous work).
Second, at the beginning of your career always put an
average price for your services. You should never use dumping as your pricing
policy – not because it is unfair, but because it will hurt your interests more
than it will hurt your competitors. Customers have a good memory – if they
remember that you evaluated your own work cheap, they won’t be much willing to
give you more money in future.
Third, try to be relatively creative when offering
your services. Make sure there is something in your account, appearance and
messages that differs you from other writers – and by “something” I don’t mean
the lack of experience. Think of a special detail that will help people
remember you. Just don’t get carried away – customers usually get scared off by
extremely creative authors. After all, you work in the field of academic
writing, not in a clown academy.
