Tell me how it’s going for you!

Okay peeps, it’s your turn. How is your freelance career progressing? Have you added any new jobs or gigs to your repertoire? Any bids accepted, new stories completed, or epiphanies experienced? I want you to tell me how you are doing!

ffff

Here’s my update:

fffffff

Porn in a title- doesn’t work. Did not attract any additional attention, but it was a first for me. My first failed publicity stunt. Next time I’ll just lock myself in a clear box above Time Square for a week. Bound to succeed!

fffff

Getafreelancer.com-  I bid on a total of 5 jobs (and on one I bid very sarcastically. Just another experiment of mine). 1 job I was turned down for (not the sarcastic one, surprisingly), 3 are frozen and they have not chosen anyone yet, 1 is still open (until October).

 ffff

Craigslist.com- No. I have not gotten a positive response from a Craigslist ad in about a month. Have I changed, or have they? Are my resume and cover letter passe’ already? Are they just not that into me?

ffff

Regular Gigs- stronger and busier than ever.

 ffff

Blog- going strong. Added links to my Twitter and Myspace page over to the far right. Are you picking up what I’m putting down?

fffff
