Have you been dying to get some private clients under your belt? If you have, you should read my post on Getting Private Clients first. Go ahead, it will open in a new window and I’ll be here waiting when you’re done.
Now that you’ve read that you’re likely thinking, “I just don’t have the time to do that!” But it doesn’t have to take that much time. You can cut down on time a lot if you use some organization techniques make it go faster.
I could tell you how to do this but I figure you’ll find it a lot more enjoyable if you can see me do it! So, I’ve created this little tutorial for you. Hopefully, you’ll find this helpful.
BTW – I can’t take credit for the idea of how to do this. I first read about it at Freelance Writing Gigs where Carly Schuna blogged about Being a Craigslist Millionaire. I’m not doing it exactly the way she’s suggested but I’ve used most of her ideas. Thanks Carly!

Do you love the look of this blog? Want your blog to look this hot? Then I'll tell you my secret! First, the blog theme I use is Thesis. It is very customizable PLUS it is great for your on page SEO!
Second, I'm using a blog skin (strangely enough it is called Blog Skin) from Thesis Awesome.

The combination of these two great blogging tools makes it easy for me to change up the look of my blog. I have to warn you though - using Thesis may turn you into a Thesis snob! It did for me!
