Freelance Magic
MARCH 8, 2023
By Juwaria Merchant If there’s one thing every freelancer will agree on, it’s that freelancing is a wide sea with superficial depth. And many of us, when starting out, rely on the endless barrage of advice from Google or Twitter “universities”. While the advice is appreciated, there’s one major problem that comes with it —- how do you know who to trust and who not to?

Sometimes, I savor a book slowly. I pick the book up, read a few pages, then put it down again. I highlight ideas and sentences that attract my attention. Later, I treat myself to rereading those highlights. What makes writing worth savoring like that? At school, you probably learned that good writing is coherent, focused, and correct. But isn’t that like suggesting a good bicycle has two wheels, a saddle, and handlebars?

Do you have a WordPress site blog? I certainly hope so. The value that WordPress websites bring to authors is immense, especially in the art and science of blogging. I might be a bit biased, considering my website is WordPress (developed by SuburbanBuzz.com ). As an author myself, as well as a book editor, ghostwriter, and literary marketer, I’m not sure how I could reach local, national, and international clients without the power of a WordPress blog!
