Posted: September 01, 2020
[caption id="" align="alignright" width="435"] Image: Copyblogger[/caption] A big part of being a successful content creator is building relationships. If you're known as someone who is easy to work with you'll most likely find that getting, and keeping, clients is relatively easy. However, if you're difficult to work with, you may have a tough time landing clients - no matter how good your work is. Your reputation can make or break your writing career. Take the time to build a great reputation and impress potential clients before you even meet them, and it can result in positive and long-lasting professional relationships. Stefanie Flaxman, Editor-in-Chief at Copyblogger, shares how to be a creative writer that is easy to work with and in demand.

They could delay progress on your project by dominating your meeting time with another subject. Don’t be that person. You have a huge opportunity to stand out as a valued digital marketing resource who others respect. Writing as a job includes a lot more than just writing. (If you haven’t yet signed up to get Brian’s free report on the future of digital marketing and the content creators who will make it happen, make sure to add your email address at the bottom of this post.) Think of your reputation as your personal “headline” and your writing portfolio as your “content.” A benefit-driven headline needs to convince a prospective reader that your content is worth their time.
