When it is not easy to increase the income all of a sudden, there are few proven ways that could double your income. What are they? Continue reading to know the pro tips…

Best Ways to Start Off:

In the process of increasing your income, you can only do certain things to increase your income. And, the best ways to start off are the following:

• Charging your clients on an hourly basis will certainly give you less income. Therefore, change your path and start charging your clients on a per-project basis. The amount that has to be charged for each project should be calculated by adding your hourly rate with profit. This way, you can double your freelance writing income quite easily.
• Increasing your rate is another way. Increasing rate here means that you must increase your rate with every new project until you reach the double rate from your current one.
• The third best way to increase your earning is to ask for referrals. You can make use of your micro-job site and ask your clients to leave feedback for your completed works. This would help the other clients know your worth and they would come to you. When you have clients at your place, then making double income is not a difficult task.

In addition to these normal ways, there are few other ways to double your freelance writing income. The best way is to look for additional freelancing side gigs. How can you do this? Look below:

Social Media Content Curator:

This would be the perfect way to double your income if you are a copywriter and if you enjoy writing sales content. By choosing to manage your clients’ social media pages, you can certainly make good money. So, what would you basically do here? You would just research for the contents and place them across your clients’ social media posts at the right times. While doing so, you need to know that the contents that you share on Twitter pages might not work with other social media. Therefore, if you get a good content to share with your audience, you must first analyze the type of content and determine the right place to use it.

Editor:

I would say this is the easiest way to get started with a side gig. Almost everyone needs an editor today and if you are good at editing, you are sure to find lots of work. For instance, if you search for the keyword ‘editor’ in your search engine, you will be able to understand how huge the opportunity you have in this area. And if you are good in a particular niche, you will get several clients very easily. Not only from the online resources can you find the editing jobs but also from the SEO companies. Several SEO companies are outsourcing the editing works to the freelance editors today. You can get projects from these companies by reaching them via e-mails. While doing so, if you mention that you are located in the same country or area where the country is located, you have more chances of getting the orders from them.
