How to Stand Out (Even as a Beginner)
Finding jobs is easy. Getting hired is what matters. Here’s how to boost your success rate:
Build a Portfolio Page (Even if You’re New)
Use Medium, Notion, or a free WordPress site. Include 3–5 sample blogs or SEO articles.
Don’t have samples? Write them based on real company websites or imaginary brands clients just want to see style.
Pitch Like a Human, Not a Template
Most writers use lazy copy-paste pitches. You can instantly stand out by:
- Mentioning the company’s name
- Sharing a tailored reason you’d be a fit
- Linking 1–2 RELEVANT samples
Example:
“I noticed you recently launched a new product. I’ve written conversion-focused blogs for similar SaaS brands — happy to share results.”
Treat It Like a Business
Set a daily habit: 3 job applications/day, pitch tracking sheet, weekly outreach. Clients hire writers who follow up and show reliability.
