9. Edit, Edit, Edit
Although you might have your own editor, the thing is that majority of freelance writers (no matter if they are just starting out or have years of experience behind them) will have to pre-edit or fully edit their texts.
This is especially important for beginners. Content managers will certainly praise your editorial skills, just as much as your writing abilities.
If you send your text, and that piece of writing is near immaculate when it comes to mistakes, form and structure, your excellent work won’t go unnoticed.
In order to accomplish this, you NEED to go back and read your text at least one more time.
It is also wise to make a short break before editing it, for only then will you be able to be somewhat objective and look at the post from a third person view.
