In the age of social media influencers, blogging can seem quite glamorous.
After all, entrepreneurs are jet setting around the world, attending parties, and posting photos of smiling families and sun-kissed skin.
Social media burnout is an overwhelming pressure of being perfect on the screen that makes you pull back from these social channels.
It makes you feel anxious because you have too much to compete with and you don’t even know where to begin, especially when it’s your job as a social media influencer or marketer.
Creating high-quality content is key to a successful freelance writing career but it is getting harder and harder.
We live in the era of information overload when everything seems to have been written by now.
After working hard to create content for your freelancing business and build your personal brand, it is time to look for ways to create additional sources of income as well as alternative lead generation sources.
Re-packaging your content can be an excellent way to reach a wider audience and increase visibility, breathing new life into the content that you’ve already produced.
Specifically, creating a video course can further promote your personal brand (allowing you to start charging more), as well as create a passive income for your business.
Freelancers have a very difficult task ahead of them.
Not only do they have to create entertaining content that manages to catch the eye of the average skimmer, but they have to please the client making sure the content aligns to their goals and vision.
Often, they are required to break it down for the layman, while discussing a very complex topic.
Being a freelancer allows you to be your own boss which means you decide for yourself where and how much you are going to work.
And there lies the problem.
I have been a freelance writer and marketer for the last six years. Starting from the very bottom, I learned early on that the most important thing you can do for yourself in this industry is eliminate any minor barriers that could in any way impact your success. And I do mean any, more matter how small and insignificant they may seem.
The problem with freelancing is that there are always about a thousand jockeying professionals of various skill levels aiming for a project.
