Is working from home becoming more and more of a reality for you?
I freelance write and it’s the ultimate dream job for me, but it is still a job – and with it comes the same stress of balancing work, life and self care.
Honestly, in a lot of ways, it’s really no different than having a “real” job (except that you technically can work in your pajamas if you choose to!).
As a freelance writer, are you dreading finding a writing niche?
The age old freelance writing advice is to write what you know and to seek out opportunities that highlight your expertise.
Now, don’t get me wrong – that is definitely a great place to start, but what if you don’t know anything that is payable?
Are you a fast typist and want to work from home? You might be thinking about doing data entry jobs from home, but to be honest, they pay pennies for all the work you do.
There’s a better option – typing jobs from home – that yield better income and can help you work from home for good.
I’ve been using my sweet typing skills to land typing jobs like freelance writing work for the past six years. I get to use my creativity, my story at times and my skills to gain income from my typing!
Feel stuck?
Have no idea what the first step to freelance writing is?
You want to be a freelance writer, but with all the blog posts or videos out there, you are suddenly overwhelmed. There’s just too much information.
As a freelance writer, most of you won’t have to use a cover letter to land a job.
But, there will be some job ads that specify a freelance writer have a cover letter to apply for that writing gig.
And with that, your resume and your cover letter can make or break the opportunity to land your dream job.
The other day I shared an old blog post on this blog to a writer that needed some advice on freelance writing.
I reviewed the post to make sure it answered her question and I was shocked!
My writing was horrible. I cringed at my writing back in the day.
While the post did provide highly actionable tips I could overlook the poor way I structured my writing.
Do you love video games?
I still love playing Super Mario Bros during my down time! Hey, this mom can play!!!
If you are a writer and an avid gamer, why not combine your two passions into a fun and lucrative career?
Have you been searching on Google about freelance writing?
You may have heard of this from a podcast or on Instagram and want to learn more.
When I first learned about freelance writing, I wanted to absorb as much as I could about freelance writing terms.
As a freelance writer, the one thing I pride in myself is the ability to write fast.
I can quickly access my zone of genius and turn off all distractions and write. This is my writing flow and when I’m accessing my flow, I can whip out blog post after blog post and write 3,000 or 5,000 words in a few hours.
But, this didn’t happen over night.
