4. Begin Little & Build Your Portfolio

Of course you’d never purchase an estate from an estate builder without first setting eyes on estates they’ve come up with in the past; so, how come would a potential client pay your surcharge without looking into any of your previously completed projects?

If you’re just starting out with freelance writing, the most prominent bet is starting with small assignments to ensure you focus on building up your portfolio. Crave the client’s indulgence if you can begin associating articles with your name and, also, ask if an author biography can be placed on their site with your own picture.

When your work gets crawled and indexed in search results, prospective clients will find your name and have some of your most welcome articles reviewed. At the start, you wouldn’t expect to be charging $50 per 500 words.

However, if you’re a popular blogger within a particular niche and a lot of people can evaluate your creating capabilities, you could be in the best position to ask for a higher surcharge that big companies are charging at the moment. In the writing industry, expert exploration merged with useful ideas composed in an easy-to-absorb style is gold blogging.

The first making money online idea I thought of was to be a freelance writer, then I found I was too slow at it and abandoned it.
These ideas you have shared would have been a game changer had I read them at that time.
Thank you for the training, Israel.
