If you own a blog or a site, you would want to earn money from it. Google Adsense is the most common revenue system available at your disposal. Here are things you need to consider and be aware of if you are looking to make a decent amount for all your efforts. Work Your Content to Your Advantage Keyword stuffing is something Google frowns upon and if you are prone to that kind of content

There are 2 types of writing that you will come across; Informal and Formal. This post is directed at understanding what entails formal writing. Formal Writing is a done when you are unfamiliar with your audience or when you are presenting a subject matter that is serious. Basically your writing style is depicted by who your target readers are and what subject matter you are dealing with and

We all have the tendency to put off something that we feel we need to do "now." It is strange that we feel so compelled by an idea, so great that we keep thinking about how great the idea is and do not do anything about it. I call this dreaming and dreaming itself is not going to out the words onto the papers (read blog, if you wish). So, let's look at 5 ways you can actually stop dreaming and

I believe that if you are a serious freelancer, you need to blog. Blogging is one way you can communicate your ideas and research directly. Also, you can offer your blog to the clients to get a taste of what and who you are before they hire you. Many people blog for fun. If you are a freelancer, you need to be a bit more responsible. Responsible blogging will not only keep you out of trouble but

The biggest concern for any blogger or online writer is to increase readership. Rising above the clutter is a big headache. Here are 3 ways you can increase readership to your blog posts, articles or virtually anything you want to draw readership to. Just ensure that you follow through and try it out. 1. Spin Stories Don't blurt our facts or figures or go on about about what you have to say.

Freelance Writing is one of the ways you can make money from home. There are various ways you can earn money online. However, I am sure you would have tried all that by now or are starting to find your way. Do you find yourself in a situation where you keep working and nothing productive seems to come out of it? Do you feel like you are working yourself 24 hours, writing great articles for your

As a writer, what is your most important job? Think about this for a while and write down whatever comes to your mind. After you have done that, read on. You would have come up with various things a writer is supposed to do; writing, putting across a message, make a living and so. Would you agree with me if I said that the most important thing a writer MUST do is to engage the reader? Yet many

Freelancers tend to fall into the monotonous ritual of writing about the same stuff they know about. Mostly many freelancers are experts in not more than 3 fields. As such they take up topics from clients or write personally about these 3 topics at most. What happens in the long run is that they tend to get repetitive and as such the quality starts to suffer. Here are why you must write about

I don't want to sound negative but it is highly unlikely that you will attain overnight success by freelance writing. Freelancing is a slow and steady course. The harder and smarter you work your freelancing career, the better off you will be in the long run. I have spoken to a few of my freinds who aspire to be freelancer writers and when I ask them why, the instant success factor is always one

Today, I thought I wil share a little bit about myself here. Won't you be bored if I go on giving you tips and how-to's without actually knowing who I am? Therefore, I have decided that I shall start sharing about my writing experiences every now and then so that you will have a venue to know me more. For a start, I was looking back today about where I started taking my writing seriously. I had

More often than not, a new freelance writer faces the trouble of idea generation. Even seasoned writer's face this problem. In my earlier post Writers Block Solution, I outlined 6 steps you could take in order to get yourself of out the idea lapse situation. A quick run through of what you can do are as follows.

Twitter has caught on like fire and is being much more widely used than any other social networking platform ever existed.

Setting your freelance rates Somehow I feel that every new freelancer faces the problem of setting their rates right. When I first started out, I had the same issue with setting my freelance writing rate as well. Therefore, I am speaking from experience. I am not saying that I have it figured it out by now. However, I roughly know what to charge for what and for which client now. To some, it

Writer's block can strike anyone. While those who have never faced it wonder how anyone can be affected so much that there is block of idea flow, those who have experienced it cringe that it should never happen to them ever again. The feelings are strange. One moment you are all set and ready to start writing and then you feel that you just cannot write or nothing you write seem to be satisfying!

There are many ways you can come across as an unprofessional writer to your potential long term client. What can this do to your freelance writing career? It could end your writing career there and then. I may be exaggerating here. However, it is true that some of the mistakes freelance writers make can be completely avoided if only some form of proofreading and editing was done after writing.

Knowing your client for whom you are freelance writing makes a lot of difference to the way you actually write. Freelance writers work with clients with varying temperaments, expectations and pay structure. Knowing them will make your writing a lot more easier as you will know exactly what to deliver. In the coming posts, I will bring you through a few of them whom I have personally worked for.

If you have the mindset that says “I freelance as a hobby” or “I freelance to make ends meet,” you will be doing that only.

It may sound ironical but it is true that freelancers are in high demand even during recession. In fact, the demand for freelancers increase during recession times. If you just take Internet content for example, you will realize that many new websites are springing up every day! Now where do these contents come from? Surely someone must be writing them and I can safely say that more than 90% of

Anyone who can write can be a freelance writer. Experience is not vital for you to land a freelance writing opportunity at all. When I say anyone can be a freelance writer, it literally means that. There are many clients out there who are willing to give new freelancers a chance. The only requirement would be a no obligation sample work.
