5. Differentiate Your Blogging Profile The Only Way to Move Forward

6. The Strategy that Worked for Me I identified my target clients and built my profile according to their needs. Let me break up the whole process for you

7. Step1-Create Content for Your Target Audience Start your own blog and develop the kind of content that your clients would like to create for their blogs. Every time you start writing a post, ask yourself if its something your clients would like to publish as well.

When you get published on a leading blog of your niche, it acts as a vote of confidence for your content from that blog. It shows your clients that your work is good enough to feature on the most widely followed blogs of their niche. This will differentiate you from the rest of the crowd and build your brand image that can be used to attract high paying clients. Read this to learn more about guest blogging on popular blogs.
