I’ve been freelance writing for a little over six months now and I’ve finally come to realize the importance (and benefit) of having a niche, or niches.
A little background about me, I have a travel blog and I also do some freelance writing for publications on the side – but so far the majority of my writing has been in the travel industry.
Writers need to tap on their creative juices for them to be productive and to create the kind of content expected from them. If you are working as a writer, there are various tools that you can use to improve your productivity.
Writers need to tap on their creative juices for them to be productive.
From de-cluttering your workspace to tools designed to improve your work, these tools can surely be of big help.
Have you looked back at an article or blog you wrote as a freelance writer and cringed? I know I have, and I still do. Sometimes the issue is punctuation then I realize my flow is off or the wording is awkward. Writing can be a difficult skill to master. Fortunately you can always become a better writer.
How?
The world of freelance writing has blossomed in the past years. With more businesses than ever needing quality content there has never been a better time to be a writer.
But …… with more work comes increased competition.
What does it really mean to engage someone online nowadays?
With the ever-escalating noise and assault of information in this digital world, does anyone pay attention anymore?
What will it take to grab that attention? Do you speak to your audience’s burning desires and motivations? Engagement is really a matter of knowing these expectations; then matching, and finally, exceeding them.
So, you think you want to write for fun, huh?
Plenty of freelancers spend their days pitching clients and writing business copy, even though their true passions lie elsewhere.
If you’re a natural storyteller, you’ll know that an idea only has to float through your mind before it’s being kneaded into a start, a middle, and an end. Whether it’s a trickle or a rapid, ideas flow constantly. It’s unstoppable.
The beauty of this skill is that a freelance writer can work for multiple clients and never be short of inspiration.
That is, until your content ideas begin to leak out the sides or force their way through small gaps in your day to shower you unexpectedly.
