What are you trying to Accomplish as a Freelance Writer?
If you currently work as a freelance writer it is safe to say that you have some goals you are chasing. What exactly are you trying to accomplish? If you can answer this question you are on your way to making it happen. But if you can’t, you need to reassess.
Over the years I have found that most freelance writers are interested in accomplishing one or more of the following:
1. A job that offers the freedom to do other things. If this is what you are after, being a freelance writer is a great choice. Not only will you have time to do other things within your life, such as activities with your family, but it will also open up other career related opportunities. Sure, I work as a freelance writer but on the side I do many other things such as blogging, building web sites, etc.
2. Make a lot of money. This may not be the number one reason to become a freelance writer, but the opportunity is definitely there. If you want to earn a lot of money, the freelance writing industry can help you reach this goal. Just remember this: it may take some time to reach your desired income level.
3. You want to find a career you enjoy. For many, this is the most important thing they are trying to accomplish by becoming a freelance writer. There is nothing worse than working a job that is stressful, tedious, and offers no rewards. Even if freelance writing is not the right career for you, there is something else out there that you will enjoy – go and find it!
