Freelance Writing For Beginners

Freelance Home Writers Freelance Writing For BeginnersWant to make money writing? The Web is built on words. This means that it’s much easier than it’s ever been for a beginner to set up a full-blown and profitable freelance writing career.

When I say the process I’ll share with you is easy, I mean it. Please don’t get hung up on your lack of experience. You can get experience fast: all you need to do is follow the process.

I sold my first freelance writing efforts in the early 1980s. In those days, you weren’t paid to learn: you served your apprenticeship and learned, before you started to sell.

You’re lucky. You have endless opportunities. All you need to do is get started, and you’ll start to sell your services very quickly.

Let’s look at the process.

1. Set up a personal blog at any one of the free blogging services online, and start to write — you can choose any topic you please. The idea of blogging is that it accustoms you to others reading your words.

Get into the habit of reading blogs which interest you. With millions of blogs online, most bloggers are just like you: they’re learning to write by doing.

2. Your next step is to build relationships with other bloggers. Leave comments on any blog you enjoy. Make sure you leave real comments: put some time and thought into it. Other bloggers will notice you.

Next, approach bloggers and ask whether you could write a guest post. Writing for other bloggers, although you’re writing for free, builds your confidence. It also gets you known.

3. Got confidence? By now, you should be feeling good about your abilities, so offer your blogging services for small payments. You’ll get clients fast.

Although these initial freelance writing jobs are small, they’re valuable for two reasons. Firstly, you’ll learn how to work with clients, and secondly, you’re becoming known as someone who writes for money.

I hope the above process sounds simple to you. That’s because it is. However, be aware that it’s also powerful, and if you follow it, you will soon have a highly profitable freelance writing career.

You can create the perfect freelance writing career with the money-making skills you learn , don’t waste more time !

Write For The Web basics

laptopcomp Freelance Writing For BeginnersIt’s easy to write for the web, the experts say. Just write as if you were talking. Yes, but there are still certain tricks to remember as you write. In this article, you’ll find some easy strategies.

My experience with web writing started some 15 years ago, when everything was much simpler. You could get traffic just because you had a website. Nowadays however, you need a lot more than a site to get traffic, readers, and customers. Here’s what you need to know.

1. Always be brief. Avoid long, esoteric words and long sentences. Keep sentence length to under 25 words. If you can say it in one line, do so. No one will be impressed by your run-on sentences and convoluted wording.

2. Grab them with the headline. Use a headline with about eight to ten words that will encourage readers to read on for more information. Check out the headline for this article: don’t you wonder what those eight rules are?

3. Add eye appeal. Admit it: long paragraphs make your eyes glaze over. We’re all lazy, so use bullets, lists, subheads — anything that will make your content seem short and easy to read. That way, readers will quickly scan it, find the information they need and move on.

4. Get to the point. Remember your reader does not necessarily know you and may even be from a different country or culture. Therefore, he or she may not get your joke or the reference to that ancient TV show. You’re better off just stating your point and moving on. If you need to explain an acronym, do so.

5. Always check your work several times before posting it on the web. Use a spellchecker, yes, but also read your work several times yourself, preferably after you’ve set it aside for several hours. Have someone else read it too. You can never proofread too often.

6. Don’t forget the keywords. Keywords will always be very important for web content as they are the means for search engines to index. However, it is possible to overdo it. If you are using a keyword too much your web page may never be indexed at all: no traffic, no readers — a waste.

Web writing is not difficult. Write simply and clearly and content will be found — and your readers will enjoy it.
