I bet you know someone. Someone who rambles on so much you can’t follow their story. Worse, you lose the will to listen. Of course, you are a different communicator. You focus on your listener or reader. You try to be clear and concise. But could it be that a dash of wordiness sneaks into your writing? It’s easily done. Shall I explain? Let me tell you a quick story first … It was 2011.

Look – What’s the fastest way to build your freelance writing business when people are losing their jobs everywhere you look? The tech and media industries are laying off thousands of workers.

As freelancers we all need to invest in our futures by learning. This means subscribing to some newsletters, listening to podcasts, buying relevant business books, and sometimes investing more heavily in online courses, products or programs. But before you take the leap and invest a few hundred or thousand dollars in that next program, think carefully about what you are doing, and why.

The best work from home jobs today provide well-paying and legitimate work options for remote employees. It’s frustrating to waste time in traffic. Plus, daycare costs cut into your paycheck. Fortunately, as shown during the COVID lockdowns, we have the technology to work as digital nomads. And while some companies demand that employees return to the office, other companies embrace the benefits of remote work.

Photo by Sora Shimazaki Is it querying? No. Networking? No. Marketing? No. Of course such skills are terrific assets, but if I could wave a magic wand, I’d grant all writers the skill of negotiation. By and large, writers don’t even consider trying to negotiate; they just accept the terms/contract/pay that is initially offered. This is partly a quirk of an industry where writers regularly get stepped on and asked to work for free in exchange for exposure.

Every second, more than 40,000 queries hit Google’s search engine. With that kind of search volume, how is a business supposed to get its content to rank high, let alone rank on page one? Since search is one of the most common ways for customers to find relevant answers to their problems or to find products, you must write your content with people’s search intent in mind.

Content marketing never ends. As long as your company wants to grow revenue, earn market share, and build relationships, there will always be posts to write, launches to prepare for, ebooks to edit, pages to audit… It can start to feel like you’re on a treadmill. And the problem with being on an infinite treadmill is that, at some point, you’re going to get so tired that you will fall off.
