Make Money Online with Constant Content

I am on the quest to search for high-paying markets. As we all know, there are many writing jobs that are so low for any freelance writer who writes in highest quality possible. For me, it is just not worth my time and effort; if I can write one article for a price of 5-10 articles, who can refuse right?

For my fellow freelance writers, I would like to share a new site where you can sell your articles. Some customers would post a "request" for a specific articles.

If you are not into writing, this site also caters to those who are into graphics, photography and videos. In short, this is one of the most legitimate arenas to make money online!

So check out their site, sign up and submit your materials!

Having your own blog: The best investment

I had my own domain for my site valcaulin.com for $15/year and it is my first investment as a freelance writer. If you really want to be serious and work full-time as a freelancer, then you must invest in some things. Some would buy some software like Copyscape and some ebooks on freelancing or as a freelance writers.

But for me, the first thing that you must spend in order to earn more is to have your own blog. There are many free blogs like blogspot and wordpress but to have your own domain like yourname.com is more professional.

Also, your client will know that they are dealing business with someone who is really serious.

Your blog or site is your own portfolio. Writing anything or posting your latest pic will sho what kind of a writer are you. It also saves time when you apply for a job; you dont have to attach a document. You just have to say.

" Kindly refer to my site, www.valcaulin.com for my writing samples."

Is it quick and more efficient?


So take your time, save some bucks and get serious in your writing!

How to Retain a Client


In every business, success lies in the number of customers or clients that you have. In the world of freelance writing, it is hard to find clients who will trust your skills and who can be trusted.

My first client for travel related articles is still with me and I rely on them whenever, I don't have any projects lined up. The secret to freelance writing to have a loyal client, someone who is consistent in giving you projects.

This article will list down some ways on having a good relationship with your clients.

1. Listen to them.

I myself appreciate if a writer can catch up my instructions fast and well. You must follow each instruction from the dot to make your assignment successful. Save all the clients messages so you can go back to them in case you are not sure of what he or she wants.

Clients are also busy and they find it such a pain in the neck if you keep on asking instructions, flies over and over again.


2. Take your word.
If you promise to deliver your articles when 3 days, then you must hand them on or before the said date. If you think you can't make it, inform them ahead. It is such a silly excuse if you inform them hours before your deadline.

Deadlines are the main priorities among clients. If you can't make them on time, they wont deal with you.


3. Communicate and update them.

Especially if the deadline is within a longer period of time like a week or month, you must keep them updated. Doing so, will make your clients will assured that you are working and they can expect some articles on your deadlines.

Also, communicating with them will make your work easier. You can submit few articles ahead so the client can evaluate them. This will also guarantee that you are on the right track.

4. Be honest.
Like any business, honesty is still very important. on your side, you want clients to pay you on time and well. And as freelance writers, you must provide them with original work. Aside from handing down original works, you must be honest in terms of making deadlines.

Never give, silly excuses..any person will know if you are just making it up or not.

5. Quality work.

Any client will adjust to your pricing and schedule if they like you as a freelance writer. The quality of your work is very important, they dont want to consume so much time editing your work.

Also, if you are professional in terms of communicating, skills and meeting deadlines; there is no way that theywill not hire you...
