  Have you been dreaming of earning money on your own terms without being trapped in a 9 to 5 corporate job? If climbing the corporate ladder isn’t your thing, and you are tired of convincing yourself that it is so, you might want to take a look at freelancing or freelance writing. If you think you need a degree to become a freelance writer, you might want to rethink that, since to write well, all you need to do is write. But it is important to note that being a writer and wanting to be a writer are two different things. You can’t just want or wish, you must always take action if you aspire to become a freelance writer. In the world of freelancing or earning online, action taken, no matter how imperfect, is better than taking no action at all. Now without further ado, let’s start discussing and busting some common myths about being a freelance writer. You Need an English Degree to Get Started No you don’t, and how do I know?

  To start off a successful freelance career, I believe like all things you need to just do something about it. Reading articles like this one, watching tutorials and perusing books are all well and good, but the thing that will do the trick would be to just take action. As someone who has tried out freelancing, I can tell you without doubt that tutorial hell is for real and it is difficult to get out of it. The thing about tutorial hell is that you get caught up in it and go in circles, reading and watching content without actually learning and most importantly putting what you learn into action. Action beats studying any day when it comes to freelancing. It’s best if you can do both, but if you choose to do one, then choose to act. Without further ado let’s dive into the article. Start Where You Are Just like I mentioned at the start of this article, I would like to restate, reemphasize, reiterate and repeat (add all the relevant and related synonyms here) of the importance of ge...

  Staying creative in a fast paced digital world can be as difficult as it has ever been. We all have just 24 hours and having so many options on how to spend time or waste time at our fingertips isn’t really good for all of us. Most of us have access to some sort of smart device, which can either help you stay creative and motivated or make you feel drained or stressed. I personally believe that creativity is the best skill or trait you need to invest in as it is what leads to innovation and breakthroughs, allowing you to stand out in an increasingly competitive world.  Get off the Phone  I know how you feel when someone says that, cause my mom says that all the time. Though I don’t like hearing it too often, I know she has a point. While the phone might be entertaining and take your mind off your problems (at least for the shortest time span possible), it doesn't serve well when it comes to creativity. I used to think it was because it limited how one thought or imagine...

  It has been some time since I wrote on this blog. If you are new here, you might want to go check out the previous post on SEO.  Recapping, SEO stands for Search Engine Optimization - which is the process of enhancing the discoverability of your content on search engines without investing in PPC (Pay Per Click) advertising. It’s all organic (meaning that if you know SEO, you don’t have to run as many ads to get more leads and customers.  Keyword Targeting The most important step in SEO or search engine optimization is to know what you might be optimizing for in the first place. Begin by determining the terms and phrases individuals type onto Google and other search engines to search for relevant information on the topics they might be interested in finding out more about, and sometimes even purchasing, depending on the intent. There are several things you need to keep in mind and consider when targeting keywords. These include search volume, relevance and competition. N...

Making writing a habit will help you improve as a writer and become a better wri...
