In my first Fifteen Minute Pitch post, I decided to invest fifteen minutes each Friday devising new projects I could pitch to existing clients.

It’s the fastest way for a freelance writer to grow their revenues.

This week, I’m cheating a little.

I’ve already won approval to begin a new project for a new client - one I’ve been subtly chasing for a while.

The project? Researching blogs in two market categories.

I’m using online resources to locate the Top 20 blogs in two categories, and delivering that information (along with relevant e-mail addresses, etc) to the client.

Simple. And not a big project. But my first for a potentially good client.

And once I’ve done it, I can do it for other clients too.

If you’re a freelance copywriter, chances are you do a lot of online research.

Your clients would likely find those skills valuable - if only they knew you had them. Or were aware of the business benefits of online research (competitive or otherwise).

So take fifteen minutes. And think about pitching something new to your “old” clients.

In the interest of sharing, why not post your idea here? If even a half-dozen people post one idea every Friday, we’d all profit.

Keep writing, Tom Chandler.
