Plan Ahead to Establish a Constant Revenue Stream

It can take months to get paid for the essays, articles, or marketing pieces you're writing now. Sure, those delays can cause real stress. But with a savings account and a development calendar, a well-organized writer will not only have pieces ready to ship but also assignments on deck for the weeks and months ahead.

Creating a developmental calendar and strategy can help you identify what's due when and what openings you have in your assignment schedule so you can direct pitches, Letters of Introduction, and cover letters to secure assignments all year round. It's never too soon to plan for the next job. In this episode, Polly talks about how she plans her future log to secure work year-round.
