The Fearful Freelancer: Getting Over Your Self-Promotion Phobia
FreelanceSwitch is chock full of promotion tips. We’ve given you ways to use email to get your message across, showed you techniques to nab hot clients, talked about how to build buzz, and we may even have helped you embrace cold-calling.
But sometimes, before you learn all the techniques to promote yourself as a business, you have to step out of your own way. As in, you have to get over your fear of self-promotion.
Think about it: How can you tackle putting your best foot out there if you’re insecure and anxious about how it will all go down. There’s not much sense in spending the time to promote yourself if you doubt what you’re doing. Freelancers may be able to mask our insecurities by working solo–or even working from home, alone like myself–but when it comes to promoting ourselves, it’s best done with confidence.
That said, here are a few tips to help you nip your fear of self-promotion in the bud. When you overcome the perceived horrors of doing so, you will likely find that your business grows–and that self-promotion isn’t so bad after all. You may even grow to love it! Continue Reading

Your “Get Out of Jail Free” Pass for “Starving Artist Mode”
You may not be on the curb groveling with a paper cup for coins, but that is what starving artist mode can feel like for many creative professionals. Chances are you’ve been there a few times.
For many creative professionals, moments come and go when we feel like the traditional starving artist. Maybe we are not pulling in as much money as we’d like, or we know we should be charging more. Perhaps we take jobs we otherwise wouldn’t accept out of fear or the feeling that we don’t deserve much better—or because we are desperate for money. Or we’re working so hard and not reaping the benefits we believe that we deserve.
Those fleeting moments are one thing, but when it turns into a daily rut, you may be in what I call “starving artist mode”.
It’s something that you cannot exactly snap out of. You have to identify why you feel like a starving artist, then detect things you can control in order to shift the mindset. For example, I sometimes feel like opportunities are drying up or I will never find another great client—that’s pretty normal after a gig ends or work is slow. For me, the key is to take action in order to generate new opportunities and try to find awesome people I want to work with (and to remember that I can be selective because turning down one gig isn’t going to destroy my business!)

How to Respond to Job Postings Faster than the Competition (Without Canned Responses)
Ever wanted to know how some freelancers jump on those job postings before everyone else, and still manage to get the gig?
It’s not with canned responses, I can assure you. These don’t go over well when it comes to pitching for a job. But there are techniques one can use to get their name in the hat early in the piece.
Some have questioned the point of jumping on a job quickly. Let me tell you, as someone who has advertised for and applied for many, it counts. I know a whole slew of people who employ freelancers who stop reading applications after the first 50 or 100 come in, and that can be anywhere from twenty minutes after posting the job, to twenty hours later.
That’s not the only reason to get in early, of course. If a client only has to see two or three applications before finding the perfect match, they’re usually ecstatic. Nobody enjoys wading through applications.
To get inside that first batch of responses, we’ll be using a little bit of automatic “here’s one we prepared earlier” magic, but piecing these together in a way tailored to each job —as such they’re not canned responses, but we’ve made sure those things that will stay more or less the same across the board are quickly dealt with.
