editormom 2018 thursday october 18 2018 self employed editors can you build a clientele instantly i m seeing requests everywhere from new editorial freelancers who are seeking tools and techniques that will get them get a steady clientele very fast i ve been self employed almost 24 years and my experience tells me what other self employed editorial pros have said in various venues building up a clientele takes time there are no methods that work instantly it would be lovely if there were but keep marketing to make your presence and skills known this involves doing things like these blogging commenting on the blogs where potential clients hang out without doing a hard sell participating in professional associations contacting clients past current and desired to talk about how you can help lighten their project load and not starting by reciting all of your academic degrees and training sharing your professional knowledge without doing hard sales pitches in email discussion groups in facebook discussion groups on twitter on linkedin all over the place doing presentations to share helpful knowledge at meetings where potential clients hang out teaching courses in person or via the internet finding ways to build up the number of word of mouth referrals you get if you don t take the time to do at least some of those things on a regular basis clients just won t land on your desk there are ways to do them without using up all your editing time and without spending lots of money i know you can do this i m an introvert and i do it posted by katharine o moore klopf at 2 35 pm 0 comments thursday may 31 2018 how to scope out associations cultures keep up with their conferences and learn from them here is a 3 part tip for those who can t afford to attend annual conferences of editorial associations and or who are considering joining one or more associations first bookmark links to the websites of associations you re interested in if you want to know about more associations than just the few you ve already heard about check out the association links in the networking section of the copyeditors knowledge base ckb second watch those websites for notice of upcoming conferences during conference time head to twitter to find the associations twitter accounts follow the links to those twitter accounts that appear in the networking section of the ckb third follow those accounts tweets that are about the organizations conferences most associations include an appropriate hashtag or topic marker in their conference tweets for example aces the society for editing is using the hashtag aces2020 for its tweets about its 2020 conference you can search twitter for that hashtag if you know it updated october 11 2019 you ll get a good sense of what the organizations have to offer you and you ll also be engaging in some continuing professional development note you do not have to have a twitter account of your own to follow those tweets posted by katharine o moore klopf at 2 52 pm 0 comments wednesday january 24 2018 a tale of parenting and self employment from the low tech days this tale may resonate with those of you who are self employed and have small children at home to care for it s funny to me now way after the fact back in 1996 i was already self employed as an editor a child of mine who shall be referred to as toddler here was in diapers kind readers please do not reveal toddler s real name in the comments one morning i was editing a book manuscript i don t remember whether it was fiction or nonfiction and needed to do some fact checking using reference works other than the ones i owned i didn t yet didn t own a computer or cell phone much less a smartphone so i couldn t do internet searches for the information i needed that meant a trip to the library did i want to take toddler with me no toddler would be bored because the reference section was nowhere near the children s section of the library what to do brilliant idea leave toddler with my father in law who at the time was a jazz and blues musician who worked nights so both toddler and i would be happy during the 30 minutes or so when i was at the library father in law agreed so i left him with toddler and some of toddler s toys i did my research at the library and i returned home thinking how happy the book manuscript s author and acquisition editor would be with the thoroughness of my fact checking i went to the downstairs apartment within my home where my in laws live and where father in law was taking care of toddler i opened the door and there stood toddler wearing a disposable diaper that was secured on each side with silver duct tape i found that very odd how had the duct tape gotten there i had forgotten to leave father in law with extra diapers so when toddler filled up his diaper as toddlers will do father in law improvised he removed the diaper disposed of its contents put it back on toddler and used duct tape to secure it because he couldn t get the diaper s adhesive strips put in place by the diaper s manufacturer to work and that happened because i had no cell phone on which father in law could have called me to request
