I've learned by doing this you may end up with just a few more gigs. I love following up especially on those that never really seemed to respond much.

Following up put me in touch with another writer who's interested in doing some occasional work, so it was well worth it.

Silence can be discouraging, but sometimes it's just an email glitch. I sometimes wonder why people get in touch and then don't follow up - this has taught me that maybe I should give them the benefit of the doubt. Thanks, Ashley.

There have been so many people who I have not heard back from, but I never followed up on it. I will follow up on the other two people I sent an email to this weekend if they do not respond within a week or two. Great post. I am not sure if your blog encouraged me or discouraged me, haha.
