For many freelance writers (magazine writers, especially), summer is a slow season. Assignments may be fewer and further between from June to early September, especially if you're new to the game.

I've come to discover that, in lieu of extensive assignments, summer is a great time to do other business-building stuff.

I'll be sharing my slow-season to-do list with you later this week. Until then, enjoy the video!
