EPISODE DESCRIPTION – For many writers, the best way to make a living as a writer isn't to publish or sell your own original project, but to be hired by individuals or companies who need you to write a project they want to have done. Sometimes, these are one offs, but many times you may be hired by a company who has a lot of projects in the pipeline. The question is, how do you give yourself the best chance of being re-hired by these companies after the first project is done?
The answer is simple, but not easy. There are basically three things you need:
- Be Fast - meaning deliver a completed project on time and within a reasonable timeframe.
- Be Good - meaning make sure the end product is excellent. This also means finding out specifically what the client needs so that you can be sure to deliver it..
- Be Nice - meaning be easy to work with. The most important quality that client's will look for in the "easy to work with" category is whether or not you can take notes.
If you can deliver all three of these every time you're hired, you will absolutely be hired again, and again and again. You will be like liquid gold to your client.
