As a freelance writer, it might sometimes be tempting to submit an article you’re not entirely happy with. If you know it will be accepted, you might want to submit it and move onto the next project. Don’t.

The reason why this is a bad idea is because your articles are more than just a certain number of words that you have sold to a publication. They also serve a second function and this function is far more important in the long run.

Your articles are adverts for you and your work

You never know who is going to read your articles. A good article might lead to further work from another source somewhere down the line. A shit article might mark you out as a shit writer and turn people away.
