Project overview
I want to tell you more about the article writer for a magazine. There are many freelance writers that need articles written or are currently looking for freelance writer articles, but this writer is different, and he does it all himself. He creates his own brand of content and gets paid for it. This guy has over 10 years of experience in the industry. His portfolio of work is amazing and he really is good at what he does. He also gets very high quality work, which can't happen with most other freelancers. If my article writing service gives me an opportunity to write your articles, we will be happy to do so! We would like to offer our services on a variety of topics, we provide great-looking article ideas for any niche. All we ask from you is the ability to complete a simple form. You don't have to worry about any editing, copy and paste, or anything like that. Our only job is to write articles that you'll love and that will be able to get published in magazines. Tell us how you got into this field? The way that I got into this industry was as a full time writer/journalist. A few years ago I decided that I wanted to focus more on creating more articles rather than being a regular contributor. So now when I'm not working, it's almost always just me writing stuff. That's why I started doing affiliate marketing sites. As soon as one person reads something through there they automatically become part of my audience for future stories. And I used to make money by selling ad space, but then I realized that there were better ways to monetize myself online. After some research, I found out that there were people out there who did it much better than me. Not only do I get paid by publications, but I also do commission payouts from companies that are related to my interests. When someone clicks on an ad or read something through my links I earn money for it as well as money from advertisements. What can you tell us about yourself? I am a self taught guy. I've been using social media platforms since 2007, and ever since that I've had a huge following. My main goals are being able to create quality articles on various topics (which I do), getting involved in community groups, and taking advantage of opportunities in the media industry. I'd really like to build my audience online and grow my knowledge. At least, that's what I hope to achieve in the next year. What skills do you think you needed to succeed in this business? I think that I have a lot of skills that are necessary to succeed in this line of work. One thing that I really need to learn is that it's important to be creative and innovative. Even though I am able to write articles quickly and efficiently, I also need to stay up-to-date with trends in the market. It's also important to know and understand SEO. Search engine optimization is crucial when it comes to getting website traffic. I also need to keep up to date with technological advances, such as web development and software packages. In addition to these things, I need to know how to manage time effectively. For example, I can't put off publishing any new material if I don't have enough time to get everything done. Also, I must be able to work under pressure. Because it's important to produce high-quality pieces without compromising quality. What is the best way to find clients? I really wouldn't recommend trying to go after anyone unless it's a big company that needs a bigger amount of resources. I would suggest going directly to them and offering a free or low cost article. They would then come back later and see why you're so valuable. However, if they aren't interested, they'll give you their contact information so you can follow up. You should never offer something below $50 to start with because this isn't worth it but you might be surprised how much you can generate. Most people would prefer paying upfront so they can see results quickly. Once you establish yourself as a legitimate source they'll start to come back again. Be persistent and persistent, you'll eventually get your first client. If they don't get back within a certain timeframe, move onto another client. By doing this you'll be able to build your reputation as an expert in your chosen area of expertise. Why did you decide to do this? I wanted my freelance career to be something that I could take pride in, something that I could show off to my family and friends. I started looking around and saw that there were a lot of other writers out there who were doing awesome things but didn't have a chance because they couldn't charge as much and they had to compete with everyone else. So I figured I would join the competition and prove to the world that I can do it on my own. If I can do it faster, better, or cheaper than anyone else, then I'm already a success. Is it easier than starting a blog? Yes, it's definitely easier. Because I can post content on a daily basis and people can get to read it all day long. But the catch is that you need to get your message across and convince people to read what you have to say. It may seem difficult because you won't have control over every aspect of your writing. But if you stay focused and determined, you'll be able to accomplish your goal to become a successful freelance writer. How do you choose clients? I usually look at my previous writing experiences. What topics are popular, trending, and profitable. Then I look at other sources of income. How can I use email lists that my readers already have to sell my product. Where do I get new clients, referrals or referrals from? Once I have identified possible clients I reach out to them. I try to be approachable because you can't force anyone. I can't promise them that they'll read my entire piece. Instead we discuss the details of their requirements. If the client says they would like my article I'll probably send it along with another article and hopefully make some money. Sometimes they'll request more specific information. I'll then respond to their questions and then send them additional writing samples. When I receive their response I then reply back to them with a follow up with my responses. Do you charge per word? Absolutely not. No matter what you do with this service, you'll get paid for each single word that is written. However, in case there's a mistake made in your article, you would have to replace it or resubmit. Can you guarantee that an article you write will be seen? Absolutely yes. My articles are read by thousands of people daily. I'm not saying that they all read the whole article. Some may read paragraphs or words that you've missed or didn't include. If this happens, they will definitely notice. But the vast majority of these articles will be read. What is your biggest challenge? The biggest challenge that I face is finding clients. This is probably the hardest part, because once you find clients, the next step is actually getting paid. Finding clients can be tricky, especially if they are newbies. What's been your favorite tip from a successful writer? The greatest advice that I have received so far is to keep reading. Read as much as you can. Study, study, study. Get your feet wet. Learn from those before you. Keep your eye open. Stay positive. Work hard. Focus on your craft. Don't let anybody tell you that you're bad at it. Believe in yourself and keep going. What advice would you give yourself? To write daily. Write no matter what. Always read. Read until you hit a wall. Try to improve your writing every day. Take courses. Practice regularly. Use tools. Figure out what you need to read to improve your skills. Create an outline. Start small and gradually increase your output. Find a mentor. Read books. Go live. Join forums. Listen to audiobooks. Do it all. And don't forget to enjoy life. Enjoy the process. What tips would you give others looking to break into this profession? I would advise them to just be patient. To not give up. Never give up. Don't lose hope. Keep learning. Follow the steps and guidelines. Finally, I would advise them to do the same and to not stress themselves out. Just keep practicing and being consistent. Soon you'll get to the point where you've finally mastered it and you just won't be able anymore. What should your ideal salary be? That depends on how much you want to write, but it should be higher than minimum wage. I personally write 5 articles per week on average. With the right amount of effort, I could make 1k dollars a month. How often should you publish? I publish 6 times a week on average. The number varies depending on whether or not I'm writing. What is your niche? My niche is travel and lifestyle. Traveling is one of my passions. When I travel, I explore different places and cultures. I like to meet new people, explore locales, eat local food, listen to music, and watch art shows. What do you think sets you apart from other writers? Why? I think that my personality is what sets me apart from other writers. Having a unique voice makes me stand out from the crowd. Also, having a strong passion for my topic. I love my jobs, I want my customers to feel satisfied with their purchases, and I want to help other people in any way I can. I believe that it's important to give back and I try to give back as much as I can. I love helping people and I love sharing people's lives.
