You’ll regret it if you neglect your own projects or spend too much time on any one type of writing.

One of the most difficult things about being a freelance writer is deciding how much of what work to do when, isn’t it? For writer’s having trouble balancing your own blogs and projects with work for your clients, here’s my suggestion: Write yourself into your work schedule with this cycling and circling method.

Writing work for your clients may seem like it should take precedence over all other projects, but if you successfully acquire several good clients, you could easily fill most of your writing days with work for them. Letting these clients dominate your life is short-sighted, however, because you’ll need projects lined up to take you through the leaner times when you have no clients.

But how can you keep those other things going when your private clients keep you busy?

And even if you don’t get a long list of strong clients, you might get on with an agency, a content mill like Textbroker or another source for low-paying but consistent work. You may end up in a situation where you could write for hours or days and never run out of assignments — and how can you turn down sure money if you need it desperately?

I’m certainly not as productive as I’d like to be, but I’m managing to balance my writing opportunities with a cycling and circling system. It works perfectly for me because I get bored with working on only one kind of project, and I find that it’s easy to avoid working toward my own goals when there’s money on the table from a client or agency.

Top Advice For Writers: Cycling And Circling

Here’s how cycling and circling work:

First, write something for a client. All done? Let it wait, if it can, so you can re-read and check it later.

Second, write a piece for Medium, your blog, one of your affiliate or residual income projects or some other personal project. Let it wait too. There’s no reason to publish it now, is there?

Third, write an article for an income-stabilizing writing service, if you’re signed up with any. Some people call these content mills — or perhaps you’re signed on with some other kind of agency. Write something for one of these and send it on. There’s no reason to let this kind of work wait around. It’s low priority and deserves only one pass before it goes on its way.

Now, come back to the piece for your client, give it a final edit and send it on its way. Then, edit your personal piece and post or schedule it.

Then, start writing something for a client again.

If you spend the day cycling through your work and circling back to the important pieces, your days could be more productive than they are now.
