Great article about freelance writing!!
Gaining Muscles As a Freelance Writer
Do You Need Inspiration To Become a Freelance Writer?
A lot of people believe that you need inspiration to hit you to become a writer. I think that it's nice if it happens. That's not how it started for me. I created a website Computer Secrets Busted. I wanted to share the knowledge accumulated during a long professional career as a Software Developer. I wanted the website to be noticed. That led me to writing. The desire to succeed pushed me to my computer and led me to spend many hours trying to perfect my writing.
The truth of the matter is that freelance writing is hard work that takes devotion and skills if you want to be successful. It's like any other career. If you are looking to "get rich quick" then freelance writing is not for you. But if you treat freelance writing as a conversation with a friend then it might work.
I decided to write about things that I am an expert of: computers, security software, gadgets, data backups, internet and web hosting. I believe, this information is helpful for a lot of people today. That encourages and inspires me to write even more.
Reading has always been my passion. Now writing becomes another passion of mine. Writing regularly teaches me how to write and leads to creative writing. Writing became continuation of reading and started as a desire to share thoughts created during reading.
That's how inspiration starts. It creeps on you, it grabs your thoughts and you have no choice - you have to spill your thoughts and feelings on paper. Freelance writing benefits us because while we are writing articles, we are actually teaching ourselves in the process. If you put in the work now, you can reap the freelance writing benefits later. Things I learned while crawling through my first articles:
Establish real goals
Plan your time
Quality over quantity
Organize working space, otherwise you lose a lot of time
Do not wear pajamas in the office even if your desk is your kitchen
Accept boring assignments to earn exciting money
Never be afraid to make mistakes as long as they are not disasters. Working at your own pace and being your own boss is a great advantage. Once freelance writing becomes a real skill - making money on internet comes naturally.

So You Want to Be a Writer?
in spite of everything,
don't do it.
unless it comes unasked out of your
heart and your mind and your mouth
and your gut,
don't do it.
if you have to sit for hours
staring at your computer screen
or hunched over your
typewriter
searching for words,
don't do it.
if you're doing it for money or
fame,
don't do it.
if you're doing it because you want
women in your bed,
don't do it.
if you have to sit there and
rewrite it again and again,
don't do it.
if it's hard work just thinking about doing it,
don't do it.
if you're trying to write like somebody
else,
forget about it.
if you have to wait for it to roar out of
you,
then wait patiently.
if it never does roar out of you,
do something else.
if you first have to read it to your wife
or your girlfriend or your boyfriend
or your parents or to anybody at all,
you're not ready.
don't be like so many writers,
don't be like so many thousands of
people who call themselves writers,
don't be dull and boring and
pretentious, don't be consumed with self-
love.
the libraries of the world have
yawned themselves to
sleep
over your kind.
don't add to that.
don't do it.
unless it comes out of
your soul like a rocket,
unless being still would
drive you to madness or
suicide or murder,
don't do it.
unless the sun inside you is
burning your gut,
don't do it.
when it is truly time,
and if you have been chosen,
it will do it by
itself and it will keep on doing it
until you die or it dies in you.
there is no other way.
and there never was.

Three Things to Ask Your Content Writers
Q: "How Long Have You Been Writing for the Internet?
This may seem like a silly question but it's a very legitimate one. Just because someone is a good writer doesn't mean they can write for the Internet.
Writing for the web takes skill and it takes knowing what online readers want. Only through lots of experience can anyone expect to create online content that people actually want to read.
Q: Are You Writing the Content or is a Team Creating My Content?
When you ask a writer for samples, it does little good if he or she isn't the one creating your content. By asking who is writing your content you can make a decision whether to use that writer or not. That's not to say that a team of writers can't do a great job! It just means that a writer should never lie about or try to hide the fact that he or she Is the only one writing your content.
Q: Why Do You Charge What You Do?
If you're going to pay for content, you are well within your right to ask why you're being charged what you are. The writer may cite lots of experience, the fact the the writing is always of the best quality or that he or she Is always on time. You may find the writer coming down in price after this question, which may indicate a lack of confidence. That means you want to move on.
A writer who isn't confident in his or her abilities likely won't give you the quality content you desire. But if you ask the a above question and your writer gives you firm answers as to why the rates are what they are, then you may have just found the perfect writer for you.
Finding quality writers can be difficult. But if you know the right questions to ask then you'll always come our on top.
Until next time,
~ The Creative Content Team
