Finding freelance clients can be a real problem if you are a budding writer or editor. However, one of the best ways to showcase your work is to create a well-managed blog for prospective clients to look at. For starters, you can start with going with a WordPress blog which is very user-friendly.

So, here are simple steps to creating a WordPress Blog:

#1: Open a WordPress account

It’s as easy as going to the wordpress.com website and opening a blog by signing up. What you must keep in mind is that you pick a user name that will come across as a professional one.

#2: Get familiar with the Dashboard

Almost every change related to your blog will be made from the Dashboard. So it’s a good idea to look through WordPress’ video tutorials in order to get familiar with the interface and its basic functions.

#3: Be conscious of your self-image

Among the things that you must think about is the logo for your site, a company name if you want one as well as presenting information that informs clients about the work that you do.

#4: Post Regularly to your Blog

Posting regularly to your blog will definitely maintain readership and it could be anything from tips for readers, your personal experiences, book and blog reviews.

#5: Use social media for exposure

It’s a good idea to not only link your site to social media sites such as Facebook and Twitter and in the signature line of your email but also blogs among other sites that have similar content such as your blog. Commenting on popular blogs as well as writing about your favorite blogs are also good ways to drum up a list of readers.
