Get Paid For Your Articles

If you are new to paid writing then you may be finding it difficult to find clients to write for. There are still a number of avenues open to you and these often lead to other work.

Get yourself more than one blog and blog on a regular basis - at least three times a week for the following reasons:

1. You may earn money from Google if you work hard on your blog

2. There are paid blogging opportunities such as Blogitive, Blogsvertise and Pay per Post.

3. It is a place where you can direct prospective clients to see your work

4. Submit articles to places like Triond and Ezine this gives you publishing credits and gets more traffic to your blog.

5. Submit articles here and it is possible to earn as much as forty dollars for one article.

6. Write good content so that people will read your blog and comment

You should also write for Helium and Review Stream. You have to do quite a bit of writing before you hit the payout level but it is well worth trying. Happy writing.

Writing Every Day

Whatever kind of writer you are if you want to succeed in your chosen field then you should get into the habit of writing every day. Once you have settled into a routine with your writing it will be much easier for you to set writing goals to achieve whatever you have in mind.

Daily Word Count

If you need to write articles for your blog or website then you should start by writing at least one every day. Published authors write on a daily basis and generally they set themselves a certain number of words to accomplish in that day. Freelance writers work on the same basis, whatever project you are working on should have scheduled time every day - that makes it easier to keep track of your work, particularly if like most freelancers, you write for more than one client. Plan to write a certain number of words for each project every day, that way you are less likely to miss a deadline.

When Your Writing Sucks

We all have days when the words on the page don't look right, when we overload an article with keywords, or when our grammar and spelling go for a walk. That's when you know your writing sucks.

How do you cope when you realise your writing sucks? Well you take a break and you think of something other than writing; you read a book with your writer's eye closed so that it is just for pleasure and you slow down and relax.

I find that my writing sucks when my head wanders anywhere other than what I am trying to write and I have learned that the only thing to do it to take a break. This is the only way I've found of getting some freshness back into my writing.

Freelance Writing Deadlines

Freelance Writing

If you are going to make a living as a freelance writer then you should keep to your freelance writing deadlines. Freelance writing can be a great way of making a living. For those who do it every day most of them will tell you that it is great to be able to do a job that you love. One of the problems for many writers is that there is a tendency to procrastinate in all of us. One of the things you will either love or hate about professional freelance writing is sticking to a deadline,

Deadlines

I find that having a deadline for my work can be a great motivator. It is, for example, great to see several articles that you have completed, it's even better to know tha you are going to get paid for them. But more to the point a deadline means that the work must be done. If you want more work and you don't want to disappoint the client who gives you that work then it's best to incorporate the idea of freelance writing deadlines into your writing life.
