It can be a real challenge to find a job as a writer. Some people make it; they move on to become staff writers for some of the most prominent publications in the world. Others will stumble upon freelance writing assignments to pay the bills. Most people will either start blogs that have no traction, or they won’t start at all. To which group do you belong?
Get Started as a Freelance Writer
The best way to gain experience while you also build your portfolio is to start as a freelancer. There are countless online publications that are hungry for talented writers to fill their pages with high quality content. This used to be an arduous task. First, they might put up an ad on Craigslist or some other job board. Then, you would have to find it and respond back. If your application isn’t lost in a flurry of emails from other writers, then you might first negotiate rates, and then begin with a test assignment. If they liked your work, then they would send you more assignments by email, and you would need to keep track of everything with spreadsheets and your calendar. This soon becomes a giant mess of emails, calendars, spreadsheets, and documents getting passed and forth between multiple publishers, editors, writers, and SEO teams. Multiply this mess by the number of clients you have, and you will soon find yourself spending more time juggling clients than actually writing. But, if you do it well, you might find success.
