Networking and Volunteering

Short and sweet:
When I started the volunteer process to teach literacy I went to a workshop/training session on how to do this.

Besides all the invaluable information provided in the workshop, I also came out of there with 3 potential opportunities for freelance work simply by mentioning what I do for a living.

One of the best...an editor for a fairly popular national publication also volunteers with this organization.

The other two opportunities were possible SEO/Copywriting clients with the potential for long-term work.

So get out there and volunteer, you'll meet some awesome people and get your name out there in the community and be able to work your way into opportunities you may not have been able to otherwise.
