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.
As a freelance writer having to constantly come up with fresh content ideas, unique angles and original perspectives can be a challenge.
Something that hasn’t been covered yet… Something that would spur interest and engagement.
