A specialty on which you are or become expert and then market assiduously to people who could use your services--for example, financial planners like to send newsletters to clients but are often lousy writers. <BR/><BR/>2. Market more innovatively--for example, troll websites in an area of your specialization. When you see one that you believe your writing or editing could improve, pitch the site owner.Marty Nemkohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14850388752934193821noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7821345570811107481.post-56612614218734712762008-10-14T20:13:00.000-07:002008-10-14T20:13:00.000-07:00Marty,I tried working as consulting writer or edit...Marty,<BR/><BR/>I tried working as consulting writer or editor here in the DC area and failed miserably. I presume because I am a terrible marketer, and the area is flooded with writers. Any ideas on making myself a better marketer? By the way, I also like Dave's idea of a professional researcher. I was going to pursue an MLS after my last layoff from a technical writing job. I landed a job instead with the federal government, and it has been a miserable experience.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7821345570811107481.post-27592098489476666082008-10-14T18:20:00.000-07:002008-10-14T18:20:00.000-07:00What about a professional researcher?
