How do we determine the correct freelance writing opportunities?

 

Hi buddies! Rejab is here with another blog post and I am going to discuss a few things that are related to my bad freelance writing career. Why I am using the term bad freelance career. A long story behind that.


Might be some other day I will open my heart in front of you. Okay, coming back to the topic, selecting the right opportunities for freelancing. Here I am going to tell you about the mistakes that I had already made but I want you not to make such sort of mistakes like me.



Command on skills

First of all, You should have a grasp on the skills you have. It could be Content Writing, Graphic Designing, WordPress Development, Auto CAD, etc. There is no need to hurry to apply for jobs. I used to do the same mistakes. When I learn Content Writing from YouTube. I impatiently applied for several jobs, without knowing how to apply. 


Let me give you an example: If a client posted a job on Facebook freelancing groups I need a content writer with the requirements like send your resume on this email or inbox your samples and pay rate. What people used to do is like the post and comment over there (I am interested). He is demanding the resume and samples on Gmail or in your inbox and what you are doing, commenting (I am interested). You are not following applying job procedure. You are doing bullsh*t. It won't work. 



Selecting Relevant Writing Samples

The worst truth about my writing journey is sending irrelevant samples to the clients. If he wants an affiliate article and you are sending a product description sample. Do you think he will hire you? Hell No. Read carefully what s' the client demands. Send him an affiliate article sample instead of a product description or blog post sample. He doesn't have enough time to check your writing style and tone he just wants the freelancer knows how to write a perfect affiliate article. You are able to solve his problems related to the article that's it. You lose the opportunity by sending him the wrong sample so take care of this point.




Which freelance writing platform is worth it for you?


Don't start your freelance writing journey from international freelance markets like Upwork and Fiverr. I am not saying this they are not made for you but for this that you are just starting out, handling international clients and the marketplace will be difficult for you. International freelance marketplaces are worth earning but for those who have enough experience with local clients and international clients as well.



I am on an international freelance market and still struggling, why? because I couldn't find any local clients and desperately jump for foreign clients. Moving from lower level to higher level will take time. It will never happen overnight. Opportunities only work when you are using your intelligence in the right direction.


P.S. I think for today it is pretty much it. Stay tuned for the next blog post. I will share some more facts about freelance writing :)

Admitting Mistakes makes a Girl Strong

I had some thoughts to share with you! As most people know that I was  studying in co-ed at Star Institute Lahore GRW Campus. In Eng s lecture, I  used to mispronounce my words, and my respected teacher point out my mistakes  in front of boys. I never felt ashamed that the boys were sitting with me.  I’m not insulted at all. Why? Because I wanna improve myself. Now when  I think about it, I feel very good that I used to admit my mistakes and now  I am able to pronounce those words correctly. My observation about girls I have observed in people especially girls, feel very disrespectful when someone  points out their mistakes. Girls are very sensitive. I can understand because I am  a girl too, but we are not living in an era, where girls should act weak and  sensitive. The world is very cruel. We should become enough strong to face  failure. Girls consider people as enemies who ask them to help and they do but  our sensitive girls be...

Like flowers, content writing needs time to bloom

If you 💡 think, writing 400 to 500 words and publishing it somewhere makes you a content writer.  So, you are thinking wrong 🚫 . Three years ago I have the same perception when I started Content Writing. Self-practice 💯 is not a good but excellent thing, but when it comes to learning skills for selling purposes then taking reviews from professionals is mandatory on your practice work. When experts point out your mistakes, you learn from them . 🌟You try to improve your written content. 🌟You learn new techniques to make your content the best. 🌟You have more knowledge about your niche and Industry. So is the case with Flower 🌸 🌷 🌺 🌹 The embryo inside the seed starts to grow into a seedling. Roots grow down to anchor the plant in the ground. Roots also take up water and nutrients and store food. A shoot grows skywards and develops into a stem that carries water and nutrients from the roots to the rest of the plant. As result, you see beautiful colorful blooming flowers. Hi, I...
