DAY 82 - AUGUST 24, 2009
Found out I didn't have to do nearly as much work as I expected with sending the FASFA to my new school, so I used the extra time to draft out a new blog post. Since this was Monday, I worked on some stuff for marketing. I think I'm really beginning to understand the "unique selling proposition" freelancers toss around, and how it should be used to focus your marketing. Since I've decided I'm primarily a comedic writer who focuses on entertainment like games, cartoons, and tv shows, I can market that accordingly and narrow down what I apply for.
Since I now know what to shoot for, I'm going to take another look at those local papers again and craft a pitch that takes advantage of my unique selling proposition. Tomorrow is Tuesday, so that means I want to do some selling/networking stuff-this means I'll actually participate on those forums I've been meaning to go on for a while.
