What Type of Freelance Writing do you enjoy?
Freelance writers take on a variety of projects. I am pretty much open to any and every type of project as long as I understand what is being asked of me and enjoy the topic. You may be a bit different – that is your choice. At some point you need to decide what type of freelance writing projects you enjoy. This way you can concentrate in these areas, while avoiding jobs that do not fit well.
First things first, remember this: there is more to freelance writing than web projects. Sure, there are millions of people out there looking for SEO articles. While these jobs can be fun and profitable, you want to keep in mind that the internet is not the end all.
You should consider other types of freelance writing projects such as magazine features, corporate content, sales letters, etc. If you can write it you can work it into your career. Don’t let anybody tell you differently.
Should I only accept jobs that I enjoy? This is a tough question to answer. Early in my career I did not know which types of projects I liked the most. For this reason I was willing to try everything. While I still feel the same way to a certain extent, I try to be a bit more selective about who I work with.
If you do not know what type of freelance writing you enjoy you should continue to work hard day after day until you formulate an answer. It may take a couple of years to really find your niche. When you finally realize what works for you, your future becomes much clearer and the path to success opens up.Â
