“You have a talent that many need – far more than you realize. Letting people know about that talent is just good business.”

I love that part. I’m one of those that is paranoid about being pushy as well and I have been working on that recently.

But you make a good point though about ideas being everywhere. I’ve been looking into starting niche sites and there are kinds of ideas in all kinds of places.

Anne, brilliant idea about letting them know you do business writing at the same time. You’ve really inspired me with this one – thanks!

Thank you, Anne! As always for the great information. You gave me quite a few ideas.

I scour my newspaper for any chance that they might use a freelancer’s article. I finally found a chance, but I haven’t taken it. It’s for the “home” section. I’ll have to work on that! I’m so busy with summer school right now, so my mind is busy elsewhere.

I agree with you-that giving your business card or offering your services in case they may ever need it, isn’t pushy. I’m just so shy, I wouldn’t have the guts to do so! Once I can really dedicate my time to writing, I’ll make a website/blog and business cards.

Thank you again for your wonderful tips of advice.
