On top of craigslist, I also have used getafreelancer and recently browsed through simplyhired. I really think they're pretty good sources, too. These have been really helpful — thanks, Theda.

Thu, 31 May 2007 16:12:19 +0000 http://crayonwriter.com/2007/05/30/marketing-your-copywriting-business/#comment-452 Marie, good suggestions. I need to reach out to my friends (now that they believe I'm actually in business...LOL). I've tried agencies, but I think I need to be more persistent. They already have freelancers, but no one stays forever, and it's important to remind them that you're out there. Thanks for the hints! Marie, good suggestions.

Thu, 31 May 2007 14:46:06 +0000 http://crayonwriter.com/2007/05/30/marketing-your-copywriting-business/#comment-450 Hi Nia! I consider the "usual suspects" to be Careerbuilder.com, Jobing, Monster.com, and the good-old-fashioned print newspaper. Actually, in reverse order. After Craigslist, I like newspapers first. And then any popular online job finder. Sometimes they don't leave a company name, but for those that do, I figure they're fair game. On Craigslist, if they say not to contact them about services, I don't reply to the post directly. Instead, I go to the company's website and find an email address or phone number. If there's no company name, I generally move on. If they're looking for a copywriter (or whatever business you're in), I think it's okay to reply and pitch the idea that they outsource rather than hire an employee for that job. Thanks for taking the time to drop by. I hope you join us again! And Jennifer, thanks for spreading the word. Hi Nia!
