Organization Tips for the Freelance Writer

I have been working as a freelance writer for over two years now. My work is a web content writer and a professional blogger. Along the way I have learned several ways to stay organized that I would like to share. I use a file folder system which enables me to locate what I need quickly. One of those folders is labeled “Work Receipts.” Anytime I purchase something that is used for my work (computer paper, pens, books, etc.) I put the receipt in this folder. If I purchase several items and only a couple of them are related to … Continue reading →

Intentional about Seeking New Opportunities

When I started this blog series off in the beginning of the year, I mentioned several things that I wanted to be intentional about. One of them was being intentional about seeking new opportunities for work. This may not apply to everyone, but for some of us who work at home, we have to be seekers. For instance, freelance writers don’t usually get work dropped into their laps. We have to actively seek work. I have been working steadily, full-time for nearly two years now with a web content company in which I write articles, blogs, news pieces and FAQ’s … Continue reading →

Home Business Spotlight: Blogger

I would be remiss to look at various types of writing jobs and not address becoming a blogger. We may not think this can be a salary earner but you really can make money blogging. However at the same time we need to be realistic and understand that you won’t be able to retire early as a blogger. Most bloggers do it for free and do it for fun. We enjoy sharing with the rest of the world. This reminds me of one of my favorite movies, “Julie and Julia.” It’s the true story of a woman named Julie Powell … Continue reading →

Fresh Ideas for Writing Topics

If you are a freelance writer or blogger, then you know that coming up with new ideas and topics on a regular basis can be difficult. This is especially true if you write for someone on a regular basis. Personal experience can definitely be helpful but readers can quickly lose interest. There are times when you will need to think outside the box. One of the ways that I come up with fresh ideas for writing topics is by watching television and reading. Let me first address the issue with reading. That is pretty self-evident, why reading could give you … Continue reading →

Could You be a Genealogy Freelancer?

If you love genealogy and you would like to work as a professional genealogist, you may wonder how you will be able to do that without making a career change.

Instead, they work as freelancers, taking on individual projects from clients that they have found, or who have found them.
