Personal or Professional: The Freelance Writer’s Blog(s)
By Candidate #9 When it comes to freelance writing and blogging, there are many ways to skin a cat. It’s been questioned time and time again whether a writer should have a blog, and like many, I believe that having a blog as a writer can be useful. For some, it’s a less formal type [...]

Friday, July 18, 2008
by Candidate #3 Freelance writers always hear about the importance of having a blog. In the beginning it seems pretty simple. Freelance Writer + Ideas = Successful Blog.

Thursday, July 17, 2008
By Candidate #6 “I tell ya – I don’t get no respect.” While those words are the famous catchphrase of the late comedian Rodney Dangerfield, they could also be the mantra of a good many bloggers who stoically clack away on their keyboards in cyberspace.

Thursday, July 17, 2008
by Candidate #2 I am often in a quandary, I am on the fence. Everyday I am faced with the dilemma to blog or not to blog. I enjoy blogging but always feel guilty that I should be using that time to research my next article or send out another query. However, I love the fact [...]

by Candidate #4 The fact that employers actually shell out money to “writers” to produce blog entries is heinous. In most cases, those entries are little more than stream-of-consciousness, poorly structured heaps of drivel studded with more grammatical errors than a chicken-pox-laden child has itches. If a writer can’t (or, worse, doesn’t care to) find success [...]

by Candidate #12 “What’s a blog?” my mom suddenly asked one day. “Well… it’s kind of like a journal where people share their thoughts on news, life, etc.” I chose the least complicated answer I could think of. “So, what’s this I hear on the news about people not getting jobs because of their blogs?” That conversation replayed itself [...]

By Candidate #1 Boost Your Freelance Writing Income By adding blog writing to your freelance writing portfolio, you’ll increase your freelance writing income. Blog writing consists of writing short blog posts for potential clients. When I say short, I mean anywhere from 200 to 400 words, and if you know the topic well enough, it shouldn’t take [...]
