Try to write more articles for few domains rather than for every domain. This would help you create your niche and seek more clients in the specific industry. 

Also, this will you a subject expert and with growing years and help you create your clientele who would associate with you for your expert writing. Hence, retaining a client would not be difficult.

It helps you add a new perspective every time for your readers. Successful writers are those who follow the latest trends and keep their content updated.

1. 2. Ask enough money:Once you start writing ask for a fee that is relevant and as per the market standards. Remember to not jump too high at one go. Increase your fee gradually . Do not be greedy. You will earn more once you write more and write better. 

Slow and steady wins the race! While the competition around you might make it tensed and challenging, do not rush. Take gradual steps to climb the ladder. Just ensure you climb it right so you can always keep growing.
