Back to the networking - what's next for a freelance writer

OK, so you're at this networking event.

You've vowed not to leave until you've had your 5 conversations with strangers.

It's really not so bad once you start. In fact, if you find someone who looks just as lost as you do, you'll be amazed by how it can actually be fun.

Ask them about their business. Don't even think about promoting yours - just listen to them, and ask questions about how they're finding clients. What's the biggest challenge they face?

What you hear may just explode your business.
