Keep a Profile Ready: Freelancing means that you work on an assignment, and move on. Therefore, you would have to show your credentials and previous work for every freelance job work that you have applied for. Therefore, make sure that you have an offline as well as online profile, so that the prospective employer can get a better idea of your capabilities. 

Keep Interacting: Once you have applied for a freelance job, try to keep in touch with the employer, of course, that does not mean that you should bombard their inbox with email, but you can at least keep a two week window between sending them a friendly or a reminder email.  In such cases, thank you emails work the trick a lot. 

Keep in Touch:  If you had applied for the freelance job, but was given to someone else, do not fret and keep networking with the employer. there are every chances that the employer may hit you up for the next freelance gig that they have in mind. In fact, networking is the greatest and strongest tool that one can have in the realms of freelancing. 

Keep Applying: No freelancer writer has ever got the first gig that they applied for easily. If you do not get the first gig, do not lose heart and keep applying for other freelance jobs. Sooner or later, you will hit paydirt!
