Have you looked back at an article or blog you wrote as a freelance writer and cringed? I know I have, and I still do. Sometimes the issue is punctuation then I realize my flow is off or the wording is awkward. Writing can be a difficult skill to master. Fortunately you can always become a better writer.
How?
The world of freelance writing has blossomed in the past years. With more businesses than ever needing quality content there has never been a better time to be a writer.
But …… with more work comes increased competition.
What does it really mean to engage someone online nowadays?
With the ever-escalating noise and assault of information in this digital world, does anyone pay attention anymore?
What will it take to grab that attention? Do you speak to your audience’s burning desires and motivations? Engagement is really a matter of knowing these expectations; then matching, and finally, exceeding them.
So, you think you want to write for fun, huh?
Plenty of freelancers spend their days pitching clients and writing business copy, even though their true passions lie elsewhere.
