Freelance Writing.



Freelance writing is a very popular way to earn money online. All you need to do is to have some basic qualifications or skills. To be a successful freelance writer, you need to have a
1. Good, solid foundation on English,
2. Learn to meet the deadlines (often very painstakingly strict) of the clients,
3. Be specific,
4. Avoid duplication/ plagiarism,
5. Be creative as much as possible,
6. Learn to please the clients by abiding by their regulations.

If you try to follow the above advices it is hoped that one day you may be a good freelance writer. At first you may find that your articles get rejected for silly reasons, but be patient. If you stick to it, you will eventually learn the whole thing.

Now come to the point of this service providers. There are a lot of sites who provide this service:
http://www.academia-research.com/,
www.elance.com/,
http://www.getafreelancer.com/
etc.

You can sign up to these sites easily using a valid email address of your own, often submitting a profile with a complete CV, pass a test/ assignment and voila! You are a freelance writer! Also if you have written any genuine articles before signing up, you can also send them for credibility as they may ask for them.

Make sure that you meet the deadline. Clients don't like it when you don't meet deadlines. So stop procrastinating! This job is not for lazy people at all.

Also write genuine articles. Don't directly copy from other sites, online articles. This will lead to cancellation of your contract. Be creative, otherwise don't write.

That's all for now folks. Feel free to comment on my articles and refer to your friends.


Thank you.
