One type of client that's often overlooked as a source of work for freelance writers (but is out there and, by some accounts, will pay) is the custom publisher. Custom publishers produce company publications for marketing purposes. They need engaging, informative content that also serves their clients' marketing needs. Here is a list of custom publishers--members of the Custom Publishing Council--who may be looking for freelance help. (And a tip of the hat to The Renegade Writer.)
Plus, a NY Times blog post by Sarah Milstein with what look like some actual good ideas on how to use Twitter to build your business. She had me when she wrote, "If you're interested in the professional possibilities [of using Twitter], ignore the Twitter prompt, 'What are you doing?' because frankly, the details of your day are banal to people who don't know you"--you said it, Sarah, and amen to that! It's nice to see a discussion of the practical ways one can use Twitter. I may yet be persuaded to start Twittering . . .
