Not only will building an online profile allow you to network with clients but it will also help you connect with other freelance writers
. Some of the best jobs I have ever gotten have been thanks to tips from other writers. For the most part we are all in this together and there is plenty of work to go around. You would be surprised how many writers have more work than they can handle these days. In addition to getting tips and leads for new jobs, it can also be a great way to connect people who are living through the same day to day experiences.
