5 Ways Membership to the Freelance Forum Helps Atlanta Freelance Writers
1. Networking. Do you want to get to know other Atlanta freelance writers? Join the Freelance Forum. After all, it’s not always what you know, but who you know. Getting to know our members is important. You can find other freelance writers in Atlanta for project collaborations, to get business advice or to refer other projects to when you’re busy. Plus, The Freelance Forum lets you hobnob with other local freelance creative professionals, including graphic designers, illustrators, photographers and marketing and pr consultants.
2. Leads and Referrals. The Freelance Forum isn’t a leads group, but it is a great place for Atlanta freelance writers to find work through referrals and leads from other Atlanta freelancers. Take Atlanta freelance writer Ayana Glaze, for instance.
Ayana got her first major client, BellSouth, through a referral from Freelance Forum member and fellow Atlanta freelance writer Ron Kissiah. “Joining the Freelance Forum is by far the best business decision I’ve ever made,” says Ayana. Check out Ayana’s story in the December 2005 edition of Folio.
Plus, our leads coordinator regularly posts jobs from Atlanta businesses and other members.
3. Credibility. Your membership to the Freelance Forum gives you instant credibility with Atlanta business leaders. They know the Freelance Forum only attracts and supports quality professionals, including top-notch freelance writers in Atlanta.
4. Support. These days it’s tough being in business, especially when you work alone. At the Freelance Forum, you’ve got access to the business support you need to make it as a freelance writer in Atlanta.
5. Portfolio Building. If you want to expand your portfolio, there’s plenty for Atlanta freelance writers to do at the Freelance Forum. As a member you can get involved and enhance your portfolio by participating in the Newsletter, Membership and Marketing committees, to name a few.
